Graham Greene

Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
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.
Graham Greene
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
Graham Greene
Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
Graham Greene
