love had turned into love affair with a begining and an end.
Graham Greene
Image
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
Image
Men can become twins with age. The past was their common womb the six months of rain and the six months of sun was the period of their common gestation. They needed only a few words and a few gestures to convey their meaning. They had graduated through the same fevers, they were moved by the same love and contempt.
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
Image
In our hearts there is a ruthless dictator, ready to contemplate the misery of a thousand strangers if it will ensure the happiness of the few we love.
Graham Greene
Image
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
Graham Greene
Image
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
Image
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
Image
Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust. In a closely beleaguered city every sentry is a potential traitor.
Graham Greene
Image
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.
Graham Greene
Image
Death will come in any case, and there is a long afterwards if the priests are right and nothing to fear if they are wrong.
Graham Greene
Image
My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.
Graham Greene

Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
