Graham Greene

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

When we are not sure, we are alive.
-Graham Greene

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.
-Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

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

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

Hate is a lack of imagination.
-Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory
