Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene

Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
All good novelists have bad memories.
Graham Greene
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
You cannot love without intuition.
Graham Greene
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible.
Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
