One forgets so quickly one's own youth

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Time has its revenges, but rev...

Time has its revenges, but revenge seems so often sour. Wouldn't we all do better not trying to understand, accepting the fact that no human being will ever understand another, not a wife with a husband, nor a parent a child? Perhaps that's why men have invented God Ђ' a being capable of understanding.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

I wish sometimes you had a few...

I wish sometimes you had a few bad motives, you might understand a little more about human beings.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

So it always is: when you esca...

So it always is: when you escape to a desert the silence shouts in your ear.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Oh well, perhaps when you're my age you'll know the heart is an untrustworthy beast.The mind too,but it doesn't talk about love.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

I wrote at the start that this...

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 277 quotes

Most things disappoint till you look deeper.

Never presume yours is a better morality.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Christmas it seems to me is a ...

Christmas it seems to me is a necessary festival; we require a season when we can regret all the flaws in our human relationships: it is the feast of failure, sad but consoling.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

They haven't left us much to believe in, have they?--even disbelief. I can't believe in anything bigger than a home or vaguer than a human being.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

From childhood I had never bel...

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 277 quotes

I envied those who could belie...

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 277 quotes

I could never have been a paci...

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 277 quotes

So much in writing depends on ...

So much in writing depends on the superficiality of one's days.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

She had lost all our memories ...

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 277 quotes

I thought I am kissing pain and pain belongs to You as happiness never does. I love You in Your pain. I could almost taste metal and salt in the skin, and I thought, How good you are. You might have killed us with happiness, but You let us be with You in pain.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

If I stopped loving Him, I wou...

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 277 quotes

I have never understood why pe...

I have never understood why people who can swallow the enormous improbability of a personal God boggle at a personal Devil.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Eternity is said not to be an ...

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.
