An old mans memories, like his bones, grow sharp with age and show their true shapes.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

Old men when they begin to hea...

Old men when they begin to hear the last trumpet, on the morning breeze, often have a kind of absent-minded smile; like people listening. And their smiles are just politeness.

All art is bad, but modern art...

All art is bad, but modern art is the worst.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

No doubt any connoisseur, any ...

No doubt any connoisseur, any collector, some bored old millionaire when he shows off his treasures, is seeking in your praise the resurrection and the life.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

Throughout the play everything...

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 61 quotes

The fear of hell, the punishme...

The fear of hell, the punishment of sin, how the modern parent revolts from such teaching. Yet I will assert that far from doing us children harm, it was a sure foundation to the world of our confidence, a master girder in our palace of delight.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

Religion is organized to satis...

Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

A foul-mouthed oaf, a drunken ...

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.

A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

A perfect God is the creation of a conceited man

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

It is the tragedy of the world...

It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

A friend of mine tells me that...

A friend of mine tells me that a Beethoven symphony can solve for him a problem of conduct. I've no doubt that it does so simply by giving him a sense of the tragedy and the greatness of human destiny, which makes his personal anxieties seem small, which throws them into a new proportion.

People don't use their eyes. They never see a bird, they see a sparrow. They never see a tree, they see a birch. They see concepts.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

I write the big scenes first, that is, the scenes that carry the meaning of the book, the emotional experience.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

A novel should be an experience and convey an emotional truth rather than arguments.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.

Joyce Cary 61 quotes

What I say to an artist is, 'When you can't paint - paint.

The principal fact of life is the free mind.

No one can estimate the power of authority among poor and uneducated people in a world whose problems confuse even the wisest.

It is sometimes said that toleration should be refused to the intolerant. In practice this would destroy it... The only remedy for dogmatism and lies is toleration and the greatest possible liberty of expression.
