Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
Image
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
Image
Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.
Graham Greene
Image
If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?
Graham Greene
Image
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene

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
Fun... human nature... does no one any harm... Regular as clockwork the old excuses came back into the alert, sad and dissatisfied brain--nothing ever matched the deep excitement of the regular desire. Men always failed you when it came to the act. She might just as well have been to the pictures.

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene
Image
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Image
American bankers believe in the personal touch the teller conveys a sense that he happens to be there accidentally and he is overjoyed at the lucky chance of the encounter.
Graham Greene
Image
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
Image
There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn't shared.
Graham Greene
Image
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
Image
I thought I am kissing pain and pain belongs to You as happiness never does. I love You in Your pain. I could almost taste metal and salt in the skin, and I thought, How good you are. You might have killed us with happiness, but You let us be with You in pain.
Graham Greene

If you live in a place for long you cease to read about it.
Graham Greene
Image
They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.

The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.

Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.
