Graham Greene
Image
Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?
Graham Greene

A brain is only capable of what it could conceive, andit couldnt concieve what it hasnt experienced

There was a tacit understanding between them that 'liquor helped' growing more miserable with every glass one hoped for the moment of relief.
Graham Greene
Image
Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
Graham Greene
Image
I'm tired and I'm sick to death of being without you.
Graham Greene

Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Graham Greene
Image
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
