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
No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
Graham Greene
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Never presume yours is a better morality.
Graham Greene
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.
Graham Greene
All good novelists have bad memories.
Graham Greene
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
I know one thing you don't. I know the difference between Right and Wrong. They didn't teach you that at school.' Rose didn't answer the woman was quite right: the two words meant nothing to her. Their taste was extinguished by stronger foods--Good and Evil.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
It is the earliest dream that I can remember, earlier than the witch at the corner of the nursery passage, this dream of something outside that has got to come in. The witch, like the masked dancers, has form, but this is simply power, a force exerted on a door, an influence that drifted after me upstairs and pressed against windows.
Graham Greene
Ordinary life goes on--that has saved many a man's reason.
Graham Greene
Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
Graham Greene
Who knows whether there may not be a moment in childhood when the world changes forever, like making a face when the clock strikes?
Graham Greene
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
God save us always,' I said 'from the innocent and the good.
Graham Greene
