More From Iris Murdoch

Bless that which you want. if you see a person with a beautiful home, bless that person and bless that home. if you see a person with a beautiful car, bless that person and bless that car. if you see a person with a loving family, bless that person and bless that family. if you see a person with a beautiful body, bless that person and bless their body.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

What does cookery mean? it means the knowledge of medea and of circe, and of calypso, and sheba. it means knowledge of all herbs, and fruits, and balms and spices... it means the economy of your great-grandmother and the science of modern chemistry, and french art, and arabian hospitality. it means, in fine, that you are to see imperatively that everyone has something nice to eat.
