More quotes by Graham Greene
The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.
Graham Greene
Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.
Graham Greene
I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.
Graham Greene
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
Graham Greene
Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.
Graham Greene
One has no talent. I have no talent. It's just a question of working, of being willing to put in the time.
Graham Greene
Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene
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
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
Graham Greene
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
Graham Greene
Rocinante was of more value for a true traveller than a jet plane. Jet planes were for business men.
Graham Greene
The subject of a novel is not the plot. Who remembers what happened to Lucien de Rebempre in the end?
Graham Greene
I couldn't have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her.
Graham Greene
I aim to be content with what I produce. It's an aim I never achieve, but I go over my work word by word, time and again, so as to be as little dissatisfied as possible.
Graham Greene
A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced
Graham Greene
Life would go out in a 'fraction of a second' (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn't change. Nobody really knew how long a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory--or for ever.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
