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.

More quotes by Graham Greene
The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.
Graham Greene
I say that home is where there is a chair and a glass.
Graham Greene
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
Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust. In a closely beleaguered city every sentry is a potential traitor.
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
Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?
Graham Greene
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
One's life is more formed, I sometimes think, by books than by human beings: it is out of books one learns about love and pain at second hand.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
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
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene
Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
Graham Greene
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.
Graham Greene
Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
Graham Greene
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.
Graham Greene
When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced
Graham Greene
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.
Graham Greene
