Graham Greene
She had lost all our memories for ever, and it was as though by dying she had robbed me of part of myself. I was losing my individuality. It was the first stage of my own death, the memories dropping off like gangrened limbs.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
Suffering is not increased by numbers one body can contain all the suffering the world can feel.
Graham Greene
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
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
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.
Graham Greene
