Famous quotes containing the words iris murdoch, works and/or murdoch:

    “The sin of pride may be a small or a great thing in someone’s life, and hurt vanity a passing pinprick, or a self-destroying or ever murderous obsession.”
    —Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)

    “Most young black females learn to be suspicious and critical of feminist thinking long before they have any clear understanding of its theory and politics.... Without rigorously engaging feminist thought, they insist that racial separatism works best. This attitude is dangerous. It not only erases the reality of common female experience as a basis for academic study; it also constructs a framework in which differences cannot be examined comparatively.”
    —bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    “Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.”
    —Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
