People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.

More quotes by Graham Greene
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt
Graham Greene
Fun... human nature... does no one any harm... Regular as clockwork the old excuses came back into the alert, sad and dissatisfied brain--nothing ever matched the deep excitement of the regular desire. Men always failed you when it came to the act. She might just as well have been to the pictures.
Graham Greene
You don't bless what you love...It's when you want to love and you can't manage it. You stretch out your hands and you say God forgive me that I can't love but bless this thing anyway...We have to bless what we hate...It would be better to love, but that's not always possible.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
Graham Greene
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying.
Graham Greene
He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.
Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene
It is the storytellers task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.
Graham Greene
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
The hands of the guilty don't necessarily tremble only in stories does a dropped glass betray agitation. Tension is more often shown in the studied action.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.
Graham Greene
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
I wrote at the start that this was a record of hate, and walking there beside Henry towards the evening glass of beer, I found the one prayer that seemed to serve the winter mood: O God, You've done enough, You've robbed me of enough, I'm too tired and old to learn to love, leave me alone forever.
Graham Greene
