He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
Image
They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.
Graham Greene

As long as nothing happens anything is possible.
Graham Greene
Image
...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
Image
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
Image
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.
Graham Greene

No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
Graham Greene
Image
I had committed myself: without love I'd have to go through the gestures of love.

Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
Graham Greene
Image
I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying.
Graham Greene
Image
So it always is: when you escape to a desert the silence shouts in your ear.
Graham Greene
Image
There was always another side to a joke, the side of the victim.
Graham Greene
Image
Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
Graham Greene
Image
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
Image
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

Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?
Graham Greene
Image
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?

At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene

What have we all got to expect that we allow ourselves to be so lined with disappointment?

The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.
