Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality.
Iris Murdoch, “The Sublime and the Good,” in the Chicago Review, Vol. 13 Issue 3 (Autumn 1959) p. 51.

The full, non-slogan version of Nozick’s “entitlement theory” of justice, expressed roughly in an extended version of the classic form:

From each according to what he chooses to do, to each according to what he makes for himself (perhaps with the contracted aid of others) and what others choose to do for him and choose to give him of what they’ve been given previously (under this maxim) and haven’t yet expended or transferred.
Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State And Utopia (1974), Ch. 7: Distributive Justice, Section I, Patterning.
