Image
He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Graham Greene
Image
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene
Image
You cannot love without intuition.
Graham Greene
Image
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
Image
love had turned into love affair with a begining and an end.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.
Graham Greene
Image
Lies had deserted me, and I felt as lonely as though they had been my only friends.
Graham Greene
Image
No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
Graham Greene
Image
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Image
I'm only saying I want you to be happy. I hate your being unhappy. I don't mind anything you do that makes you happy. You just want an excuse. If I sleep with anybody else, you feel you can do the same - any time. That's neither here nor there. I want you to be happy, that's all. You'd make my bed for me? Perhaps.
Graham Greene
Image
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week.
Graham Greene
Image
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
Graham Greene
Image
There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn't shared.
