I had from childhood not only the experience of love and truth common to all family life, but the idea of them embodied in the person of Jesus, a picture always present to our imagination as well as our feelings.
More Quotes from Joyce Cary:
Love doesn't grow on the trees like apples in Eden. It's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination to make it too, just like anything else.Joyce Cary
Sara could commit adultery at one end and weep for her sins at the other, and enjoy both operations at once.
Joyce Cary
For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
Joyce Cary
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
Joyce Cary
