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
Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt
Graham Greene
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
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
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politick. Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
Graham Greene
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
Graham Greene
I couldn't have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her.
Graham Greene
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
I aim to be content with what I produce. It's an aim I never achieve, but I go over my work word by word, time and again, so as to be as little dissatisfied as possible.
Graham Greene
For an artist to think in terms of success is like a priest trying to think in terms of success.
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
I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.
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
What happens if you drop all the things that make you I?
Graham Greene
He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.
Graham Greene
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
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
