Happy birthday, Iris Murdoch! A few words from her about happiness…
Tuesday, July 15th, 2014
Two quotes today, because I couldn’t decide. You choose:
“Happiness is a matter of one’s most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.”
and this one:
“People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”
.
— Dame Iris Murdoch, born on this date in 1919
