As long as one suffers one lives.
Graham Greene
Image
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

Unhappiness in a child accumulates because he sees no end to the dark tunnel. The thirteen weeks of a term might just as well be thirteen years.
Graham Greene

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
Life would go out in a 'fraction of a second' (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn't change. Nobody really knew how long a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory--or for ever.
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
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Image
Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
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
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
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.
Graham Greene
Image
The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.

Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
