My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.
Graham Greene
Image
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.

If I had to choose between life in the Soviet Union and life in the U. S. A. , I would certainly choose the Soviet Union.
Graham Greene
Image
All the emotions have something in common. People are quite aware of the sorrow there always is in lust, but they are not so aware of the lust there is in sorrow.
Graham Greene
Image
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.
Graham Greene

Oh well, perhaps when you're my age you'll know the heart is an untrustworthy beast.The mind too,but it doesn't talk about love.
