Graham Greene

Graham Greene
A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.
Graham Greene
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood.
Graham Greene
I can't talk you in terms of time --your time and my time are different
Graham Greene
In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise.
Graham Greene

Graham Greene
He's satisfied with himself. If you have a soul you can't be satisfied.
Graham Greene
