More quotes by Graham Greene
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
Graham Greene
For a good man fame is always a problem.
Graham Greene
So much of a novelist's writing, as I have said, takes place in the unconscious: in those depths the last word is written before the first word appears on the paper. We remember details of our story, we do not invent them.
Graham Greene
You cannot love without intuition.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
Graham Greene
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.
Graham Greene
Cruel men cry easily at the cinema.
Graham Greene
A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
Graham Greene
It seemed to Scobie that life was immeasurably long. Couldn’t the test of man have been carried out in fewer years? Couldn’t we have committed our first major sin at seven, have ruined ourselves for love or hate at ten, have clutched at redemption on a fifteen-year-old deathbed?
Graham Greene
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
Graham Greene
Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things. I haven't the nerve to put them down, but I'd like to, because now when I'm writing it's already tomorrow and I'm afraid of getting to the end of yesterday. As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and we are still together
Graham Greene
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
People who like quotes love meaningless generalizations
Graham Greene
A ruling passion gives to a shelf of novels the unity of a system.
Graham Greene
What have we all got to expect that we allow ourselves to be so lined with disappointment?
Graham Greene
What happens if you drop all the things that make you I?
Graham Greene
