Iris Murdoch
“I know that human life is horrible. I know that it is utterly unlike art. I have no religion except my own task of being. Conventional religions are dream stuff. Always a world of fear and horror lies but a millimetre away. Any man, even the greatest, can be broken in a moment and has no refuge. Any theory which denies this is a lie.”
Iris Murdoch, The Black Prince

Sandra Newman
“At last he had risen to hold forth tragically about the misfortune that it was to be alive.”
Sandra Newman, The Heavens
