One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
Image
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
Graham Greene
Image
The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.

Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene

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.

He couldn't tell that this was one of those occasions a man never forgets: a small cicatrice had been made on the memory, a wound that would ache whenever certain things combined - the taste of gin at mid-day, the smell of flowers under a balcony, the clang of corrugated iron, an ugly bird flopping from perch to perch.
Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
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
People who like quotes love meaningless generalizations
Graham Greene
Image
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene
Image
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Image
There was always another side to a joke, the side of the victim.
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
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
