More quotes by Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
He couldn't tell that this was one of those occasions a man never forgets: a small cicatrice had been made on the memory, a wound that would ache whenever certain things combined - the taste of gin at mid-day, the smell of flowers under a balcony, the clang of corrugated iron, an ugly bird flopping from perch to perch.
Graham Greene
As long as nothing happens anything is possible.
Graham Greene
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene
Cruel men cry easily at the cinema.
Graham Greene
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise.
Graham Greene
Death was far more certain than God.
