As long as one suffers one lives.
Graham Greene
Image
Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time, and sometimes it seemed to me that her abandonment touched that strange mathematical point of endlessness, a point with no width, occupying no space.
Graham Greene
Image
At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day.
Graham Greene
Image
Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.
Graham Greene
Image
I had committed myself: without love I'd have to go through the gestures of love.
Graham Greene
Image
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.

...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
Image
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.

It's a good world if you don't weaken.
Graham Greene
Image
So much of life [is] a putting-off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing [is] ever lost by delay.
Graham Greene

Image
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
Image
I'm only saying I want you to be happy. I hate your being unhappy. I don't mind anything you do that makes you happy. You just want an excuse. If I sleep with anybody else, you feel you can do the same - any time. That's neither here nor there. I want you to be happy, that's all. You'd make my bed for me? Perhaps.

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

Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
Graham Greene
Image
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Graham Greene
Image
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.
Graham Greene
Image
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
Graham Greene

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

The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety.
