More quotes by Graham Greene
Never presume yours is a better morality.
Graham Greene
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
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
What have we all got to expect that we allow ourselves to be so lined with disappointment?
Graham Greene
It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
The hands of the guilty don't necessarily tremble only in stories does a dropped glass betray agitation. Tension is more often shown in the studied action.
Graham Greene
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
Graham Greene
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
Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politick. Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.
Graham Greene
There was always another side to a joke, the side of the victim.
Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
What happens if you drop all the things that make you I?
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
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Graham Greene
I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.
