Who knows whether there may not be a moment in childhood when the world changes forever, like making a face when the clock strikes?
Graham Greene
Image
Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
Graham Greene

You think it more difficult to turn air into wine than to turn wine into blood?.
Graham Greene

It is the earliest dream that I can remember, earlier than the witch at the corner of the nursery passage, this dream of something outside that has got to come in. The witch, like the masked dancers, has form, but this is simply power, a force exerted on a door, an influence that drifted after me upstairs and pressed against windows.

I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.
Graham Greene
Image
Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
Graham Greene
Image
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.

Friendship is something in the soul. It is a thing one feels. It is not a return for something.

Graham Greene
Image
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
Image
It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.
Graham Greene
Image
Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politick. Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
Graham Greene
Image
If two people loved, they slept together it was a mathematical formula, tested and proved by human experience.
Graham Greene
Image
Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt
Graham Greene
Image
Cynicism is cheap - you can buy it at any Monoprix store - it's built into all poor-quality goods.
Graham Greene
Image
I say that home is where there is a chair and a glass.
Graham Greene
Image
The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.
Graham Greene
Image
One's life is more formed, I sometimes think, by books than by human beings: it is out of books one learns about love and pain at second hand.
Graham Greene
Image
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
Image
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
