The will is never free - it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car - it can't steer
Joyce Cary
Remember I'm an artist. And you know what that means in a court of law. Next worst to an actress
Joyce Cary
Throughout the play everything possible was done to show the virtue, innocence and helplessness of the poor, and the abandoned cruelty, the heartless self-indulgence of the rich.

Joyce Cary
No one can estimate the power of authority among poor and uneducated people in a world whose problems confuse even the wisest.
Joyce Cary
Nothing like poetry when you lie awake at night. It keeps the old brain limber. It washes away the mud and sand that keeps on blocking up the bends. Like waves to make the pebbles dance on my old floors. And turn them into rubies and jacinths or at any rate, good imitations.
Joyce Cary
Where can one find a profounder desolation than in the poor child who has lost its mother?
Joyce Cary
To forgive is wisdom, to forget is genius.
Joyce Cary
The only good government... Is a bad one in a hell of a fright.
Joyce Cary
A foul-mouthed oaf, a drunken laborer lying in a drain, a beaten wife with blackened eyes and torn clothes, cannot be made romantic to a child who sees how other children suffer from bad-tempered parents, from drunken fathers to termagant mothers.
Joyce Cary
A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
Joyce Cary
