More quotes by Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
My fellow journalists called themselves correspondents I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action -- even an opinion is a kind of action.
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
It's a good world if you don't weaken.
Graham Greene
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene
Ordinary life goes on--that has saved many a man's reason.
Graham Greene
At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene
When you visualized a man or a woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity . . . that was a quality God's image carried with it . . . when you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination.
Graham Greene
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
Graham Greene
So much of a novelist's writing, as I have said, takes place in the unconscious: in those depths the last word is written before the first word appears on the paper. We remember details of our story, we do not invent them.
Graham Greene
There was always another side to a joke, the side of the victim.
Graham Greene
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Graham Greene
People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.
Graham Greene
The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.
Graham Greene
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things. I haven't the nerve to put them down, but I'd like to, because now when I'm writing it's already tomorrow and I'm afraid of getting to the end of yesterday. As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and we are still together
Graham Greene
Death was far more certain than God.
Graham Greene
A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
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
