More quotes by Graham Greene
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.
Graham Greene
I couldn't have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her.
Graham Greene
There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene
...every monologue sooner or later becomes a discussion.
Graham Greene
I envied those who could believe in a God and I distrusted them. I felt they were keeping their courage up with a fable of the changeless and the permanent. Death was far more certain than God, and with death there would be no longer the possibility of love dying.
Graham Greene
A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.
Graham Greene
I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.
Graham Greene
From childhood I had never believed in permanence, and yet I had longed for it. Always I was afraid of losing happiness. This month, next year...death was the only absolute value in my world. Lose life and one would lose nothing again forever.
Graham Greene

It is always of interest to know what strikes another human being as remarkable.
Graham Greene
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible.
Graham Greene
There's a virtue in slowness, which we have lost
Graham Greene
If you have abandoned one faith, do not abandon all faith. There is always an alternative to the faith we lose. Or is it the same faith under another mask?
Graham Greene
Men can become twins with age. The past was their common womb the six months of rain and the six months of sun was the period of their common gestation. They needed only a few words and a few gestures to convey their meaning. They had graduated through the same fevers, they were moved by the same love and contempt.
Graham Greene
Most things disappoint till you look deeper.
Graham Greene
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
The next best thing to talking to her is talking about her.
Graham Greene
