More quotes by Graham Greene
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible.
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
The problem of pretending to be alive.
Graham Greene
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
Graham Greene
Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.
Graham Greene
In our hearts there is a ruthless dictator, ready to contemplate the misery of a thousand strangers if it will ensure the happiness of the few we love.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
You cannot conceive, nor can I, of the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
No building was safe from the furniture, the pictures, the human beings that it would presently contain.
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
Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
Graham Greene
Had Shakespeare listened to the news of Duncans death in a tavern or heard the knocking on his own bedroom door after he had finished the writing of Macbeth?
Graham Greene
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.
Graham Greene
They haven't left us much to believe, have they? — even disbelief. I can't believe in anything bigger than a home, or anything vaguer than a human being.
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
