Quote preview background for Iris Murdoch
Education doesn__ make you happy. Nor does freedom. We don__ become happy just because we__e free _ if we are. Or because we__e been educated _ if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance _ the confidence _ to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.
