Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.

More quotes by Graham Greene
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
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
Graham Greene
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
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
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
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
I say that home is where there is a chair and a glass.
Graham Greene
I couldn't help wondering, is my husband so unattractive that no woman has ever wanted him? Except me, of course. I must have wanted him, in a way, once, but I've forgotten why, and I was too young to know what I was choosing.
Graham Greene
Its typical of Mexico, of the whole human race perhaps violence in favour of an ideal and then the ideal lost but the violence just going on.
Graham Greene
A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
Graham Greene
I wrote at the start that this was a record of hate, and walking there beside Henry towards the evening glass of beer, I found the one prayer that seemed to serve the winter mood: O God, You've done enough, You've robbed me of enough, I'm too tired and old to learn to love, leave me alone forever.
Graham Greene
Hate is a lack of imagination.
Graham Greene
Sometimes I see myself reflected too closely in other men for comfort, and then I have an enormous wish to believe in the saints, in heroic virtue.
Graham Greene
There was always another side to a joke, the side of the victim.
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
...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
So it always is: when you escape to a desert the silence shouts in your ear.
Graham Greene
