There enter moments of an azure hue,
Untarnished fair as is the violet
Or anemone, when the spring strews them
By some meandering rivulet, which make
The best philosophy untrue that aims
But to console man for his grievances.
I have remembered when the winter came,”

—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.”

A God can find in laughing at how badly
Men fumble at the possibilities....”
