Iris Murdoch
“Oh Irina, there's so much life for us."

"Is there? I feel I have no life. There's nothing in front of me but a black wall.”
Iris Murdoch, The Message to the Planet

“Let’s say -for the sake of the argument-, whatever you do, doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things. But the thing is we don’t live in the great scheme of things. We live only in a part of it. So, even if it doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter.”
Cave Man, Modern Human's Handbook
