If you live in a place for long you cease to read about it.
Graham Greene
Image
He couldn't tell that this was one of those occasions a man never forgets: a small cicatrice had been made on the memory, a wound that would ache whenever certain things combined - the taste of gin at mid-day, the smell of flowers under a balcony, the clang of corrugated iron, an ugly bird flopping from perch to perch.

Graham Greene
Image
Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?
Graham Greene
Image
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
Graham Greene
Image
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
Image
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
I couldn't help wondering, is my husband so unattractive that no woman has ever wanted him? Except me, of course. I must have wanted him, in a way, once, but I've forgotten why, and I was too young to know what I was choosing.
