The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

More quotes by Graham Greene
You think it more difficult to turn air into wine than to turn wine into blood?.
Graham Greene
Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
They haven't left us much to believe, have they? — even disbelief. I can't believe in anything bigger than a home, or anything vaguer than a human being.
Graham Greene
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
If I had to choose between life in the Soviet Union and life in the U. S. A. , I would certainly choose the Soviet Union.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
The hands of the guilty don't necessarily tremble only in stories does a dropped glass betray agitation. Tension is more often shown in the studied action.
Graham Greene
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
Graham Greene
For an artist to think in terms of success is like a priest trying to think in terms of success.
Graham Greene
Its typical of Mexico, of the whole human race perhaps violence in favour of an ideal and then the ideal lost but the violence just going on.
Graham Greene
As long as nothing happens anything is possible.
Graham Greene
It's a good world if you don't weaken.
Graham Greene
Lust is not the worst thing. It is because any day, any time, lust may turn into love that we have to avoid it. And when we love our sin then we are damned indeed.
Graham Greene
For a good man fame is always a problem.
Graham Greene
It seemed to Scobie that life was immeasurably long. Couldn’t the test of man have been carried out in fewer years? Couldn’t we have committed our first major sin at seven, have ruined ourselves for love or hate at ten, have clutched at redemption on a fifteen-year-old deathbed?
Graham Greene
He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.
Graham Greene
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible.
Graham Greene
Death will come in any case, and there is a long afterwards if the priests are right and nothing to fear if they are wrong.
Graham Greene
