- I pray that we may care for the sick as human beings..
- I pray that we may feed the starving in our midst...
- I believe that most people hunger after spirituality, even if that
- hunger remains in many cases unconscious.
- The sense of real purpose - the life force -could be expelled from a
- society whose leaders are obsessed by money, muscle and machinery.
- That society could - quite simply - die.
- -- Patrick White, 1989
In this centenary year of the novelist's birth, Ken Parker reflects on Patrick White's life and writings, exploring the creed and prayer reflected in the novels.
