The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.

Image
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
Image
Lies had deserted me, and I felt as lonely as though they had been my only friends.

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.

I had committed myself: without love I'd have to go through the gestures of love.

Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politick. Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.

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.

Melodrama is one of my working tools and it enables me to obtain effects that would be unobtainable otherwise on the other hand I am not deliberately melodramatic don't get too annoyed if I say that I write in the way that I do because I am what I am.

Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene

He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.

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.

We forget very easily what gives us pain.

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.

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.

Cynicism is cheap - you can buy it at any Monoprix store - it's built into all poor-quality goods.

We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
