More quotes by Graham Greene
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time.
Graham Greene
That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer.
Graham Greene
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
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
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
All good novelists have bad memories. What you remember comes out as journalism what you forget goes into the compost of the imagination.
Graham Greene
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene
Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.
Graham Greene
You cannot love without intuition.
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
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
The subject of a novel is not the plot. Who remembers what happened to Lucien de Rebempre in the end?
Graham Greene
A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.
Graham Greene
As long as one suffers one lives.
Graham Greene
It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.
Graham Greene
For a good man fame is always a problem.
Graham Greene
It seemed to Scobie that life was immeasurably long. Couldn’t the test of man have been carried out in fewer years? Couldn’t we have committed our first major sin at seven, have ruined ourselves for love or hate at ten, have clutched at redemption on a fifteen-year-old deathbed?
Graham Greene
Death was far more certain than God.
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
