More quotes by Graham Greene
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.
Graham Greene
Melodrama is one of my working tools and it enables me to obtain effects that would be unobtainable otherwise on the other hand I am not deliberately melodramatic don't get too annoyed if I say that I write in the way that I do because I am what I am.
Graham Greene
Hate is an automatic response to fear, for fear humiliates.
Graham Greene
Reality in our century is not something to be faced.
Graham Greene
They are always saying God loves us. If thats love Id rather have a bit of kindness.
Graham Greene
The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.
Graham Greene
If I had to choose between life in the Soviet Union and life in the U. S. A. , I would certainly choose the Soviet Union.
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
Fame is a powerful aphrodisiac.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
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 for ever.
Graham Greene
I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused.
Graham Greene
Beauty is like success: we can't love it for long.
Graham Greene
I've caught belief like a disease. I've fallen into belief like I fell in love.
Graham Greene
Self-expression is a hard and selfish thing. It eats everything, even the self. At the end you find you haven't even got a self to express.
Graham Greene
Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.
Graham Greene
The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief.
Graham Greene
The subject of a novel is not the plot. Who remembers what happened to Lucien de Rebempre in the end?
Graham Greene
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
We forget very easily what gives us pain.
Graham Greene
