More quotes by Graham Greene
She had lost all our memories for ever, and it was as though by dying she had robbed me of part of myself. I was losing my individuality. It was the first stage of my own death, the memories dropping off like gangrened limbs.
Graham Greene

Hate was just a failure of imagination.
Graham Greene

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
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
One has no talent. I have no talent. It's just a question of working, of being willing to put in the time.
Graham Greene
Unhappiness in a child accumulates because he sees no end to the dark tunnel. The thirteen weeks of a term might just as well be thirteen years.
Graham Greene
A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced
Graham Greene
The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.
Graham Greene
