They are always saying God lo...

They are always saying God loves us. If that's love I'd rather have a bit of kindness.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

There is always one moment in...

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Champagne, if you are seeking...

Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

The truth has never been of a...

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 277 quotes

Time has its revenges, but re...

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 – a being capable of understanding.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

No human being can really und...

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

The great advantage of being ...

The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Nobody thinks in terms of hum...

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 277 quotes

My two fingers on a typewrite...

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 277 quotes

If you have abandoned one fai...

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 277 quotes

In Italy, for 30 years under ...

In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Innocence is like a dumb lepe...

Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

We are all of us resigned to ...

We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

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 277 quotes

I have often noticed that a b...

I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect - it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance; the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior, like a man who has paid for a woman.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

A petty reason perhaps why no...

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 277 quotes

A solitary laugh is often a laugh of superiority.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.

Graham Greene 277 quotes

A movie is not a book. If the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. All you owe to the book is the spirit.
