In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.

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.

You don't bless what you love...It's when you want to love and you can't manage it. You stretch out your hands and you say God forgive me that I can't love but bless this thing anyway...We have to bless what we hate...It would be better to love, but that's not always possible.

Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things. I haven't the nerve to put them down, but I'd like to, because now when I'm writing it's already tomorrow and I'm afraid of getting to the end of yesterday. As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and we are still together

Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
Graham Greene
Image
Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
Graham Greene
Image
He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.
Graham Greene
Image
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible.
Graham Greene

Happiness is never really so welcome as changelessness.
