Hate was just a failure of imagination.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
It is a great danger for everyone when what is shocking changes.
Graham Greene
Cruel men cry easily at the cinema.
Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
So long as one is happy one can endure any discipline: it was unhappiness that broke down the habits of work.
Graham Greene
Oh well, perhaps when you're my age you'll know the heart is an untrustworthy beast.The mind too,but it doesn't talk about love.
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.
