I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene

Had Shakespeare listened to the news of Duncans death in a tavern or heard the knocking on his own bedroom door after he had finished the writing of Macbeth?
Graham Greene
Image
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene
Image
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
Image
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
Image
Self-expression is a hard and selfish thing. It eats everything, even the self. At the end you find you haven't even got a self to express.
Graham Greene
Image
The hands of the guilty don't necessarily tremble only in stories does a dropped glass betray agitation. Tension is more often shown in the studied action.
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
