‘Love is the Extremely Difficult’ — Iris Murdoch Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Muscle Tank

“Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.” Iris Murdoch set this out in her 1959 essay “The Sublime and the Good,” defining love as the hard cognitive work of granting another person full reality.
