You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other.
Graham Greene
Image
For a good man fame is always a problem.
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.
Graham Greene
Image
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Image
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
Graham Greene

In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
Image
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
Image
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.

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
Image
I couldn't help wondering, is my husband so unattractive that no woman has ever wanted him? Except me, of course. I must have wanted him, in a way, once, but I've forgotten why, and I was too young to know what I was choosing.
Graham Greene
Image
All the emotions have something in common. People are quite aware of the sorrow there always is in lust, but they are not so aware of the lust there is in sorrow.
Graham Greene
Image
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
Image
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
Image
He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
Image
I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect - it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior, like a man who has paid for a woman.

Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
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?
Graham Greene
Image
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.
Graham Greene
Image
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.

It is the earliest dream that I can remember, earlier than the witch at the corner of the nursery passage, this dream of something outside that has got to come in. The witch, like the masked dancers, has form, but this is simply power, a force exerted on a door, an influence that drifted after me upstairs and pressed against windows.
