Young Iris Murdoch Quotes:

  • Young Iris Murdoch: Yes, of course, there's something fishy about describing people's feelings. You try hard to be accurate, but as soon as you start to define such and such a feeling, language lets you down. It's really a machine for making falsehoods. When we really speak the truth, words are insufficient. Almost everything except things like "pass the gravy" is a lie of a sort. And that being the case, I shall shut up. Oh, and... pass the gravy.

  • Young Iris Murdoch: [to John] You know more about me than anyone. You are my world.

  • Young John Bayley: I could get in trouble, having women in my room.

    Young Iris Murdoch: I wouldn't say you'd had me, just yet.
