More quotes by Graham Greene
Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
Graham Greene
love had turned into love affair with a begining and an end.
Graham Greene
In our hearts there is a ruthless dictator, ready to contemplate the misery of a thousand strangers if it will ensure the happiness of the few we love.
Graham Greene
It is the storytellers task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.
Graham Greene
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
All good novelists have bad memories. What you remember comes out as journalism what you forget goes into the compost of the imagination.
Graham Greene
I wrote at the start that this was a record of hate, and walking there beside Henry towards the evening glass of beer, I found the one prayer that seemed to serve the winter mood: O God, You've done enough, You've robbed me of enough, I'm too tired and old to learn to love, leave me alone forever.
Graham Greene
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise.
Graham Greene
There was a tacit understanding between them that 'liquor helped' growing more miserable with every glass one hoped for the moment of relief.
Graham Greene
Who knows whether there may not be a moment in childhood when the world changes forever, like making a face when the clock strikes?
Graham Greene
They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. Sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. A man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.
Graham Greene
I know one thing you don't. I know the difference between Right and Wrong. They didn't teach you that at school.' Rose didn't answer the woman was quite right: the two words meant nothing to her. Their taste was extinguished by stronger foods--Good and Evil.
Graham Greene
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
You cannot love without intuition.
Graham Greene
Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust. In a closely beleaguered city every sentry is a potential traitor.
Graham Greene
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
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
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
