More quotes by Graham Greene
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. Sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
Graham Greene
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
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
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
I had committed myself: without love I'd have to go through the gestures of love.
Graham Greene
Cynicism is cheap - you can buy it at any Monoprix store - it's built into all poor-quality goods.
Graham Greene
For an artist to think in terms of success is like a priest trying to think in terms of success.
Graham Greene
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
A ruling passion gives to a shelf of novels the unity of a system.
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
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
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
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
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
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
My fellow journalists called themselves correspondents I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action -- even an opinion is a kind of action.
Graham Greene
The problem of pretending to be alive.
