Text Quotes
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 Quotes) Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac, Albert Camus, Graham Greene - they influenced my life to a profound extent.  (Graham Greene Quotes) From Graham Greene, I learnt how to be an accessible writer who grapples with our doubts as sentient individuals.  (Graham Greene Quotes) Certainly, my exposure in high school to writers like Flannery O’Connor, Shusaku Endo, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Graham Greene was formative.  (Graham Greene Quotes) I am a Graham Greene fan - I’m just a ferocious reader. I read an awful lot when I get the time.  (Graham Greene Quotes) My parents were interested in history and the world. My father read Graham Greene and Georges Simenon and was a strong trade unionist and Labour supporter.  (Graham Greene Quotes) Writing about Africa by Africans has been part of my literary apprenticeship, standing alongside works by authors such as Joseph Conrad, Joyce Cary and Graham Greene as influences.  (Graham Greene Quotes) In researching ‘The Luminaries,’ I did read quite a lot of 20th-century crime. My favourites out of that were James M. Cain, Dassiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Graham Greene and Patricia Highsmith.  (Graham Greene Quotes) When I get asked about novelists I like, they tend to be white, male, and British, like Graham Greene. They write the kind of declarative sentences I like. I don’t like to be deflected by acrobatics.  (Graham Greene Quotes) I work every day until I do not have more to say. I learned from Graham Greene that a very good way is to stop work in the middle of a sentence. Then you know exactly how to continue the day after.  (Graham Greene Quotes) Graham Greene’s work must be included in any survey of top-rank spy novels, and ‘Our Man in Havana’ may be his best.  (Graham Greene Quotes) Graham Greene at 82 years old was still writing, and I don’t think anyone can deny the force, the expertise, and the unique quality of his writing, if you take his complete oeuvre.  (Graham Greene Quotes) You have the older generation like Iris Murdoch and Angus Wilson who are not as old as Graham Greene, but still are coming on. I dare say anyone who knew the scene better than I know it could fill it in with a very satisfactory supply of novels.  (Graham Greene Quotes) 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 Quotes) Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.  (Graham Greene Quotes) Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered  (Graham Greene Quotes) In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths  (Graham Greene Quotes) No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness  (Graham Greene Quotes) Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline  (Graham Greene Quotes) We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to  (Graham Greene Quotes) A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible  (Graham Greene Quotes) I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused  (Graham Greene Quotes) I couldn’t have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her  (Graham Greene Quotes) Indifference and pride look very much alike, and he probably thought I was proud  (Graham Greene Quotes) That instinct for human character that is perhaps inherent in an imaginative writer  (Graham Greene Quotes) Of course, before we know he is a saint, there will have to be miracles  (Graham Greene Quotes) 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 Quotes) Against the beautiful and the clever and the successful, one can wage a pitiless war, but not against the unattractive: then the millstone weighs on the breast  (Graham Greene Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes)
