Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Read this in a Sunday paper magazine - it really makes sense . "Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonising preoccupation with self." The Nice and the Good, Iris Murdoch I think I'll pass it on to my mum .

Tessa the Duchess Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I used to read a lot of Iris Murdoch's work. She was an amazing woman in health and later. Agree, I loved her books.
