More quotes by 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
Unhappiness in a child accumulates because he sees no end to the dark tunnel. The thirteen weeks of a term might just as well be thirteen years.
Graham Greene
No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
Graham Greene
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
Graham Greene
My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
We'd forgive most things if we knew the facts.
Graham Greene
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Cruel men cry easily at the cinema.
Graham Greene
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
Self-expression is a hard and selfish thing. It eats everything, even the self. At the end you find you haven't even got a self to express.
Graham Greene
You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
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
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
Lust is not the worst thing. It is because any day, any time, lust may turn into love that we have to avoid it. And when we love our sin then we are damned indeed.
Graham Greene
