In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
Image
Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.
Graham Greene
Image
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene
Image
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 for ever.
Graham Greene
Image
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
Image
One's life is more formed, I sometimes think, by books than by human beings: it is out of books one learns about love and pain at second hand.
Graham Greene
Image
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Image
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Image
Lies had deserted me, and I felt as lonely as though they had been my only friends.
Graham Greene
Image
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
Graham Greene
Image
It's a good world if you don't weaken.
Graham Greene
Image
Its typical of Mexico, of the whole human race perhaps — violence in favour of an ideal and then the ideal lost but the violence just going on.
Graham Greene
Image
There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn't shared.
Graham Greene
Image
I thought I am kissing pain and pain belongs to You as happiness never does. I love You in Your pain. I could almost taste metal and salt in the skin, and I thought, How good you are. You might have killed us with happiness, but You let us be with You in pain.
