If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Image
It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.
Graham Greene
Image
He couldn't tell that this was one of those occasions a man never forgets: a small cicatrice had been made on the memory, a wound that would ache whenever certain things combined - the taste of gin at mid-day, the smell of flowers under a balcony, the clang of corrugated iron, an ugly bird flopping from perch to perch.
Graham Greene

They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. Sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
Graham Greene
Image
When you visualized a man or a woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity . . . that was a quality God's image carried with it . . . when you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination.
Graham Greene
Image
Suffering is not increased by numbers one body can contain all the suffering the world can feel.
Graham Greene
Image
I couldn't have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her.
Graham Greene
Image
O God, You've done enough, You've robbed me of enough, I'm too tired and old to learn to love, leave me alone for ever.
Graham Greene
Image
There's a virtue in slowness, which we have lost
Graham Greene
Image
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
