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

“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. She placed the difficulty at the center: the effort of truly seeing another person is the love itself.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
