Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene

You don't bless what you love...It's when you want to love and you can't manage it. You stretch out your hands and you say God forgive me that I can't love but bless this thing anyway...We have to bless what we hate...It would be better to love, but that's not always possible.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Image
The subject of a novel is not the plot. Who remembers what happened to Lucien de Rebempre in the end?
Graham Greene
Image
Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.
Graham Greene

Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
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
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Image
He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
Image
Never presume yours is a better morality.
Graham Greene
Image
A ruling passion gives to a shelf of novels the unity of a system.
Graham Greene

I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
