More quotes by Graham Greene
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
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
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
As long as nothing happens anything is possible.
Graham Greene
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
Graham Greene
Despair is the price one pays for setting himself an impossible aim.
Graham Greene
He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.
Graham Greene
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
Graham Greene
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.
Graham Greene
He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.
Graham Greene
At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene
A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene
Death will come in any case, and there is a long afterwards if the priests are right and nothing to fear if they are wrong.
Graham Greene
One can't love humanity. One can only love people.
Graham Greene
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene
You cannot love without intuition.
Graham Greene
They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.
Graham Greene
