Image
It seemed to Scobie that life was immeasurably long. Couldn’t the test of man have been carried out in fewer years? Couldn’t we have committed our first major sin at seven, have ruined ourselves for love or hate at ten, have clutched at redemption on a fifteen-year-old deathbed?
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
Ordinary life goes on--that has saved many a man's reason.
Graham Greene
Image
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
Image
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.
Graham Greene
Image
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Graham Greene
Image
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
Image
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
Image
Men can become twins with age. The past was their common womb the six months of rain and the six months of sun was the period of their common gestation. They needed only a few words and a few gestures to convey their meaning. They had graduated through the same fevers, they were moved by the same love and contempt.
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
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene
Image
Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?
Graham Greene
Image
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
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
Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust. In a closely beleaguered city every sentry is a potential traitor.
Graham Greene
Image
In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise.
Graham Greene
Image
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
Image
Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.
Graham Greene
Image
He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.
Graham Greene
Image
Sometimes I see myself reflected too closely in other men for comfort, and then I have an enormous wish to believe in the saints, in heroic virtue.
