Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000008725
I hate your reasons. I don't want reasons. If you see somebody in pain, people like you reason and reason. You say - pain is a good thing, perhaps he'll be better for it one day. I want to let my heart speak ... Yes. At the end of a gun. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000009674
We are fools when we love. I was terrified of losing her. I thought I saw her changing

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000010754
In five hundred years' time, to the historian writing the Decline and Fall of the British Empire, this little episode would not exist. There will be plenty of other causes. You and me and poor Jones will not even figure in a footnote. It will be all economics, politics, battles. -- Graham Greene

dull and then a heroic flurry at the end. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000026026

anywhere
for anyone? It was worth murdering a world. -- Graham Greene

There are no coroners in Paraguay. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000043441
I have no need to write to you or talk to you, you know everything before I can speak, but when one loves, one feels the need to use the same old ways one has always used. I know I am only beginning to love, but already I want to abandon everything, everybody but you: only fear and habit prevent me. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000045736
He gave her a bright fake smile; so much of life was a putting off of unhappiness for another time. Nothing was ever lost by delay. He had a dim idea that perhaps if one delayed long enough, things were taken out of one's hands altogether by death. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000049754
The argument of danger only applies to those who live in relative safety. (The Power and the Glory) -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000061466
Her face looked ugly in the attempt to avoid tears; it was an ugliness which bound him to her more than any beauty could have done. It isn't being happy together, he thought as though it were a fresh discovery, that makes one love
it's being unhappy together. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000061790
The moment comes when a character does or says something you hadn't thought about. At that moment he's alive and you leave it to him. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000068800

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000070350
She had so much more capacity for love than I had - I couldn't bring down that curtain round the moment, I couldn't forget and I couldn't not fear. Even in the moment of love, I was like a police officer gathering evidence of a crime that hadn't yet been committed [ ... ] -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000074447
I had to touch you with my hands, I had to taste you with my tongue; one can't love and do nothing. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000079468
It's a strange thing to discover and to believe that you are loved when you know that there is nothing in you for anybody but a parent or a God to love. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000081829
It was not merely that his brother was dead. His brain, too young to realize the full paradox, wondered with an obscure self- pity why it was that the pulse of his brother's fear went on and on, when Francis was now where he had always been told there was no more terror and no more
darkness. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000089845

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000091629
He had stylized himself
life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form. -- Graham Greene

Human nature is not black and white but black and grey. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000093039
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
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000104341
His question reminded me of how easy he had been to deceive, so easy that he seemed to me almost a conniver at his wife's unfaithfulness, as the man who leaves loose banknotes in a hotel bedroom connives at theft, and I hated him for the very quality which had once helped my love. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000108784
But I'm a bad priest, you see. I know
from experience
how much beauty Satan carried down with him when he fell. Nobody ever said the fallen angels were the ugly ones. Oh, no, they were just as quick and light and ... -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000110644
Don't you believe it. I'll tell you what life is. It's gaol, it's not knowing where to get some money. Worms and cataract, cancer. You hear 'em shrieking from the upper windows- children being born. It's dying slowly. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000114413
Why do we have this desire to tease the innocent? Is it envy? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000117204
My second wife - I was still young then - she left me, and I made the mistake of winning her back. It took me years to lose her again after that. She was a good woman. It is not easy to lose a good woman. If one must marry it is better to marry a bad woman. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000123402
Perhaps to the soldier the civilian is the man who employs him to kill, who includes the guilt of murder in the pay-envelope and escapes responsibility. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000127944
There is an old legend that somewhere in the world every man has his double. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000128036
Have you seen a room from which faith has gone? ... Like a marriage from which love has gone ... And patience, patience everywhere like a fog. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000138258
The words of human love have been used by the saints to describe their vision of God, and so I suppose we might use the terms of prayer, meditation, contemplation to explain the intensity of the love we feel for a woman ... -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000139653
A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000143641
She thought for the first time, with happiness: perhaps I have a life in people's minds when I am not there to be seen or talked to. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000146695
I was afraid of burglars and Indian thugs and snakes and fires and Jack the Ripper, when I should have been afraid of thirty years in a bank and a take-over bid and a premature retirement and the Deuil du Roy Albert. -- Graham Greene

Destruction after all is a form of creation. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000151419
Love taught me that your honour did but jest. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000152965
It seemed to Scobie that life was immeasurably long. Couldn't the test of man have been carried out in fewer years? Couldn't we have committed our first major sin at seven, have ruined ourselves for love or hate at ten, have clutched at redemption on a fifteen-year-old deathbed? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000153947
The old women gossiped as they always had done, squatting on the floor outside the urinoir, carrying Fate in the lines of their faces as others on the palm. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000158481

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000159317
When there was a choice between love of a woman and hate of a man, her mind could cherish only one emotion, for her love might be a subject for laughter, but no one ever had ever mocked her hatred. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000159342
And there, in that phrase, the bitterness leaks again out of my pen. What a dull lifeless quality this bitterness is. If I could I would write with love, but if I could write with love I would be another man; I would never have lost love. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000160108
People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000163885
Knowledge was the great thing
not abstract knowledge in which Dr. Forester had been so rich, the theories which lead one enticingly on with their appearance of nobility, of transcendent virtue, but detailed, passionate, trivial human knowledge. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000171001
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

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000171892
Can't one love or hate", I broke out at him, "as long as that? Don't make any mistake. I'm just another of your jealous clients, I don't claim to be any different fro m the rest,but there's been a time-lag in my case. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000172160
The Lord is my shepherd. But if we are sheep why in heaven's name should we trust our shepherd? He's going to guard us from the wolves all right, oh yes, but only so that he can sell us later to the butcher. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000176679
And for the first time he realized the pain inevitable in any human relationship - pain suffered and pain inflicted. How foolish we were to be afraid of loneliness. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000176887
What I've done is far worse than murder - that's an act, a blow, a stab, a shot: it's over and done, but I'm carrying my corruption around with me. It's the coating of my stomach.' He threw her wrists aside like seeds towards the stony floor. 'Never pretend I haven't shown my love. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000192202
Sometimes I would walk with a sense of pain, sometimes with pleasure. If a woman is in one's thoughts all day, one should not have to dream of her at night. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000192809
Marlowe's devils wore squibs attached to their tails: evil was like Peter Pan - it carried with it the horrifying and horrible gift of eternal youth. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000198745
What did the truth matter? All characters once dead, if they continue to exist in memory at all, tend to become fictions. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000204089
Suffering is not increased by numbers. One body can contain all the suffering the world can feel. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000205597

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000216122
I said what do you mean by his country? A flag someone invented two hundred years ago? The Bench of Bishops arguing about divorce and the House of Commons shouting Ya at each other across the floor? Or do you mean the T.U.C. and British Railways and the Co-op? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000227866
She had lost all our memories for ever, and it was as though by dying she had robbed me of part of myself. I was losing my individuality. It was the first stage of my own death, the memories dropping off like gangrened limbs. -- Graham Greene

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000231313

In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000269961

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000295719
A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible. -- Graham Greene

Nothing in life was as ugly as death. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000324168
Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things.

As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and we are still together -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000325859

"What was Shakespeare? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000335514
If I stopped loving Him, I would cease to believe in His love. If I loved God, then I would believe in His love for me. It's not enough to need it. We have to love first, and I don't know how. But I need it, how I need it. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000336859
He was feeling happy. It was one of the strange discoveries a man can make that life, however you lead it, contains moments of exhiliration; there are always comparisons which can be made with worse times: even in danger and misery the pendulum swings. (The Power and the Glory) -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000337568
You were there teaching me to squander, so that one day we might have nothing left except this love of You. But You are too good to me. When I ask You for Pain, You give me peace. Give it him too. Give him my peace-he needs it more. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000341626
A romantic is usually afraid in case reality doesn't come up to expectations. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000346316
He disapproved, he didn't believe in girls drinking, he was full of the conventions of a generation older than himself. Of course one drank oneself, one fornicated, but one didn't lie with a friend's sister, and 'decent' girls were never squiffy. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000346822
He was like a child with haemophilia: every contact drew blood. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000347519

-"If you knew how little you had to revenge...". -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000369131
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. All my life I've tried to live that illusion. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000371341
He had been frightened and so he had been vehement. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000376524

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000382761
It's a good world if you don't weaken. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000393567
When we get to the end of human beings we have to delude ourselves into a belief in God, like a gourmet who demands more complex sauces with his food. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000395513
Like Johns, I am one of the little men, not interested in ideologies, tied to a flat Cambridgeshire landscape, a chalk quarry, a line of willows across the featureless fields, a market town
his thoughts scrabbled at the curtain
where he used to dance at the Saturday hops. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000400024
Pyle could see pain when it was in front of his eyes. (I don't write that as a sneer; there are so many of us who can't) -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000404504
Fear is easily experienced, but fun is hard to come by in old age, so I already felt a sense of gratitude to General Omar Torrijos. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000407325
When you visualized a man or a woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity ... that was a quality God's image carried with it ... when you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000410981
friendship cannot stand humiliation. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000413864
Only in childhood do books have any deep influence on our lives. In later life, we admire, we are entertained, we may modify some views we already hold, but we are more likely to find in books merely a confirmation of what is in our minds already. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000425188

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000455395
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
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000473449
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
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000473668
The old man in the beard he felt convinced was wrong. He was too busy saving his own soul. Wasn't it better to take part even in the crimes of people you loved, if it was necessary hate as they did, and if that were the end of everything suffer damnation with them rather than be saved alone? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000475534
You cannot control what you love
you watch it driving recklessly towards the broken bridge, the torn-up track, the horror of seventy years ahead. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000481219
She couldn't avoid being serious about things she cared for, and happiness made her grave at the thought of all the things which might destroy it. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000488880
Perhaps the comparison is closer to the Chinese cook who leaves hardly any part of a duck unserved. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000493496
All, Pyle? Wait until you're afraid of living ten years alone with no companion and a nursing home at the end of it. THen you'll start running in any direction, even away from that girl in the red dressing-gown, to find someone, anyone, who last until you are through. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000495818
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock! -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000512993
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000527060
Perhaps we are all fictions, father, in the mind of God. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000531584
For a moment I had felt elation as on the instant of waking before one remembers. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000532635
When I replied that I loved her too in that way, I was the liar, not she, for I never lose the consciousness of time: to me the present is never here: it is always last year or next week. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000537046
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
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000544121
Of two hearts one is always warm and one is always cold: the cold heart is more precious than diamonds: the warm heart has no value and is thrown away. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000550986
I had been afraid of the primitive, had wanted it broken gently, but here it came on us in a breath, as we stumbled up through the dung and the cramped and stinking huts to our lampless sleeping place among the rats. It was the worst one need fear, and it was bearable because it was inescapable. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000551909
A police photograph is like a passport photograph: the intelligence which casts a veil over the crude common shape is never recorded by the cheap lens. No one can deny the contours of the flesh, the shape of nose and mouth, and yet we protest, This isn't me. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000556244
I wish sometimes you had a few bad motives, you might understand a little more about human beings. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000561278
Do you like dogs?'
'No.'
'I thought the British were great dog-lovers.'
'We think Americans love dollars, but there must be exceptions. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000563659

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000563802
Was the secret of lasting youth known only to the criminal mind? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000565268
You think it more difficult to turn air into wine than to turn wine into blood?. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000574394
We forget very easily what gives us pain. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000577780
I wished I had been able to make her look that way, but it is the destiny of a lover to watch unhappiness hardening like a cast around his mistress. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000577791
She was not too young to be wise, but she was too young to know that wisdom
shouldn't be spoken aloud when you are happy. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000581371
We mustn't complain too much of being comedians - it's an honorable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed - that's all. We are bad comedians, we aren't bad men. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000583820
St. Augustine asked where time came from. He said it came out of the future which didn't exist yet, into the present that had no duration, and went into the past which had ceased to exist. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000587467
Switzerland is only bearable covered with snow," Aunt Augusta said, "like some people are only bearable under a sheet. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000590843
The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000592061
I recognized my work for what it was
as unimportant a drug as cigarettes to get one through the weeks and years. If we are extinguished by death, as I still try to believe, what point is there in leaving some books behind any more than bottles, clothes, or cheap jewellry? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000599077
Hatred seems to work on the same glands as love: it even produces the same actions. If we had not been taught how to interpret the story of the Passion, would we have been able to say from their actions alone whether it was the jealous Judas or the cowardly Peter who loved Christ? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000613342
Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000614190
I could never have been a pacifist. To kill a man was surely to grant him an immeasurable benefit. Oh yes, people always, everywhere, loved their enemies. It was their friends they preserved for pain and vacuity. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000614482
There is not so much virginity in the world that one can afford not to love it when on finds it. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000617925
He had heard men talk of the unfairness of a death-bed repentance - as if it was an easy thing to break the habit of a life whether to do good or evil. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000620333
If I'm a bitch and a fake, is there nobody who will love a bitch and a fake? -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000620341
A writer's knowledge of himself, realistic and unromantic, is like a store of energy on which he must draw for a lifetime: one volt of it properly directed will bring a character to life. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000635598
Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm. -- Graham Greene

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000703341

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 000938206

Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline. -- Graham Greene
Graham Greene Quotes : pic 001210059
You try to draw everything into the net of your faith, father, but you can't steal all the virtues. Gentleness isn't Christian, self-sacrifice isn't Christian, charity isn't, remorse isn't. I expect the cavemen wept to see another's tears. -- Graham Greene

They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people.

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 001284919

Graham Greene Quotes : pic 001289344
