Graham Greene Quotes

He looked with horror round the room: nobody could say he hadn't done right to get away from this, to commit any crime...

He turned to Rose, 'I'm off,' and felt the faintest tinge of pity for goodness which couldn't murder to escape.

Graham Greene

But disregard means that now there needs to be no straining of the eyes, no stretching forth of the hands, no pressing of the lips, because theirs is such a union that they are no longer aware of the division of their flesh. Rebecca West
