More quotes by Joyce Cary
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
A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.

Joyce Cary

Joyce Cary
Politics is like navigation in a sea without charts, and wise men live the lives of pilgrims.
Joyce Cary
Of all things I find most unbearable is the injustice of one generation to another.
Joyce Cary
Funeral expenses are the curse of the poor everywhere on earth, they are wasteful and unnecessary, they are the price of foolish ostentation and a display that is less an evidence of grief than a vulgar travesty of those pompous obsequies where no grief is.
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
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Joyce Cary
A novel should be an experience and convey an emotional truth rather than arguments.
Joyce Cary
