When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week.

More quotes by Graham Greene
My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.
Graham Greene
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.
Graham Greene
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
Graham Greene
I say that home is where there is a chair and a glass.
Graham Greene
Oh well, perhaps when you're my age you'll know the heart is an untrustworthy beast.The mind too,but it doesn't talk about love.
Graham Greene
At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene
As the end of the what is called the 'sexual life' the only love which has lasted is the love which has everything, every disappointment, every failure and every betrayal, which has accepted even the sad fact that in the end there is no desire so deep as the simple desire for companionship.
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
Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Cruel men cry easily at the cinema.
Graham Greene
I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying.
Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
I aim to be content with what I produce. It's an aim I never achieve, but I go over my work word by word, time and again, so as to be as little dissatisfied as possible.
Graham Greene
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
Graham Greene
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
