More quotes by Graham Greene
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
Death was far more certain than God.
Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
I'm only saying I want you to be happy. I hate your being unhappy. I don't mind anything you do that makes you happy. You just want an excuse. If I sleep with anybody else, you feel you can do the same - any time. That's neither here nor there. I want you to be happy, that's all. You'd make my bed for me? Perhaps.
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
When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week.
Graham Greene
Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
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
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
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
It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.
Graham Greene
If you live in a place for long you cease to read about it.
Graham Greene
If I had to choose between life in the Soviet Union and life in the U. S. A. , I would certainly choose the Soviet Union.
Graham Greene
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
You don't bless what you love...It's when you want to love and you can't manage it. You stretch out your hands and you say God forgive me that I can't love but bless this thing anyway...We have to bless what we hate...It would be better to love, but that's not always possible.
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
No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.
Graham Greene
I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying.
Graham Greene
