More quotes by Graham Greene
For a good man fame is always a problem.
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
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
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
Sooner or later... one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.
Graham Greene
It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
Never presume yours is a better morality.
Graham Greene
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
All good novelists have bad memories.
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.
Graham Greene
American bankers believe in the personal touch the teller conveys a sense that he happens to be there accidentally and he is overjoyed at the lucky chance of the encounter.
Graham Greene
People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.
Graham Greene
From childhood I had never believed in permanence, and yet I had longed for it. Always I was afraid of losing happiness. This month, next year...death was the only absolute value in my world. Lose life and one would lose nothing again forever.
Graham Greene
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
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
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
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.
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
