Famous quotes containing the words murdoch and/or mysteries:
“Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one’s luck.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“One key, one solution to the mysteries of the human condition, one solution to the old knots of fate, freedom, and foreknowledge, exists, the propounding, namely, of the double consciousness. A man must ride alternately on the horses of his private and public nature, as the equestrians in the circus throw themselves nimbly from horse to horse, or plant one foot on the back of one, and the other foot on the back of the other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
