More quotes by Graham Greene
He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.
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
A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene

Graham Greene

Graham Greene
It's a good world if you don't weaken.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
Melodrama is one of my working tools and it enables me to obtain effects that would be unobtainable otherwise on the other hand I am not deliberately melodramatic don't get too annoyed if I say that I write in the way that I do because I am what I am.
Graham Greene
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
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
My fellow journalists called themselves correspondents I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action -- even an opinion is a kind of action.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.
Graham Greene
Death was far more certain than God.
Graham Greene
