There's a virtue in slowness, which we have lost
Graham Greene
Image
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
Image
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
Graham Greene
Image
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
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.

It is the earliest dream that I can remember, earlier than the witch at the corner of the nursery passage, this dream of something outside that has got to come in. The witch, like the masked dancers, has form, but this is simply power, a force exerted on a door, an influence that drifted after me upstairs and pressed against windows.

They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.

One has no talent. I have no talent. It's just a question of working, of being willing to put in the time.
Graham Greene
Image
Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt
Graham Greene
Image
Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust. In a closely beleaguered city every sentry is a potential traitor.
Graham Greene
Image
I say that home is where there is a chair and a glass.
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 trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
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
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
Graham Greene
Image
Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
Image
There was a tacit understanding between them that 'liquor helped' growing more miserable with every glass one hoped for the moment of relief.
Graham Greene
Image
A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.
Graham Greene
Image
For an artist to think in terms of success is like a priest trying to think in terms of success.
Graham Greene
