The quotes below are from Iris Murdoch [ see the article above}
The enemies of art and of morals, that is the enemies of love, are the same: social convention and neurosis.
Love is the perception of individuals. Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real. (Sublime, p 215)
Gravity pulls us to this earth of ours
Where grace is needed for the heart to flower
The need for roots is what each person feels
Yet how can roots grow through a floor of steel?
Settlement in legal terms means peace
Agreement reached and hatred will soon cease
What name exists for taking land not ours
The occupier pays no price, he has the power
The British Empire leaves a trail of death
Pakistan and India split by wrath
Balfour did not care for Arab lives
Jewish people fell to genocide
Lit by raging fires on holy lands
Burning children cannot understand
