Quotes from Graham Greene

Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.

—Graham Greene

Those who marry God can become domesticated too—it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others.… It was God's taste to be worshiped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours, like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.

—Graham Greene

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough.

—Graham Greene
