The Raj Quartet Quotes

“Insularity, like empire-building, requires superb self-confidence, a conviction of one's moral superiority.

An English caricature of an Indian - possessive towards people with power, arrogant to those with none.

Through a narrow Moghul arch into a dark stone corridor - the kind in which you feel the weight of India: a heavy darkness which is a protection from glare and heat but reminiscent of tombs and dungeons.”
― Paul Scott, The Raj Quartet
