Quote by Iris Murdoch

“Το να εκφράσω μία επιθυμία σ’ένα γράμμα , συχνά έχω την παράλογη αίσθηση, ότι είναι ισοδύναμο με την εκπλήρωσή της. Το γράμμα είναι ένα φράγμα, μία ανάσχεση, ένα φυλαχτό εναντίον του κόσμου, μία σχεδόν αλάνθαστη μέθοδος τηλεκατεύθυνσης.”

“The past should never serve as an encumbrance, but we must exploit our experiences as learning assets. The only importance of any experience is to test oneself. Worthy challenges, fused with humility of spirit, enrich a person’s character. One must harvest the grain from their effort and discard the shaft. Before moving onward, it is critical for me to look back and remove any negative predilections that accumulated from days gone by that might mar, stunt, or otherwise arrest future personal development.”
