All good novelists have bad memories.
Graham Greene
Image
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.

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

There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
Image
People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.
Graham Greene
Image
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
Image
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
Graham Greene
Image
Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
Graham Greene
Image
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
My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.
Graham Greene
Image
They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. Sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.

In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise.
