More quotes by Graham Greene
Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.
Graham Greene
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
A ruling passion gives to a shelf of novels the unity of a system.
Graham Greene
He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
If you live in a place for long you cease to read about it.
Graham Greene
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
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
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
People who like quotes love meaningless generalizations
Graham Greene
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene
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
Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.
Graham Greene
I couldn't help wondering, is my husband so unattractive that no woman has ever wanted him? Except me, of course. I must have wanted him, in a way, once, but I've forgotten why, and I was too young to know what I was choosing.
Graham Greene
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.
Graham Greene
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
Graham Greene
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.
Graham Greene
Lust is not the worst thing. It is because any day, any time, lust may turn into love that we have to avoid it. And when we love our sin then we are damned indeed.
Graham Greene
