More quotes by 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
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
The hands of the guilty don't necessarily tremble only in stories does a dropped glass betray agitation. Tension is more often shown in the studied action.
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

Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
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
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
Graham Greene
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
Graham Greene
The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.
Graham Greene
