Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
Image
Suffering is not increased by numbers one body can contain all the suffering the world can feel.
Graham Greene
Image
Rocinante was of more value for a true traveller than a jet plane. Jet planes were for business men.
Graham Greene
Image
I'm only saying I want you to be happy. I hate your being unhappy. I don't mind anything you do that makes you happy. You just want an excuse. If I sleep with anybody else, you feel you can do the same - any time. That's neither here nor there. I want you to be happy, that's all. You'd make my bed for me? Perhaps.
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.

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
Image
One's life is more formed, I sometimes think, by books than by human beings: it is out of books one learns about love and pain at second hand.
Graham Greene
Image
There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn't shared.
Graham Greene
Image
Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.
Graham Greene
Image
...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
Image
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
Image
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
Image
A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced
Graham Greene
Image
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
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.
Graham Greene
