Inspiring quotes by Graham Greene

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Graham Greene

  • There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
  • 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.
  • Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
  • We are all of us resigned to death: it’s life we aren’t resigned to.
  • 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?
  • Heresy is another word for freedom of thought.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • In human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.
  • Innocence always calls mutely for protection when we would be so much wiser to guard ourselves against it: innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.

Graham Greene, born October 2, 1904, in Berkhamsted, England, was a renowned British novelist, playwright, journalist, and screenwriter. Known for blending literary depth with thrilling narratives, Greene explored themes of politics, morality, and faith throughout his career. He converted to Catholicism in 1926, a decision that deeply influenced much of his writing.

Greene’s works are often divided into “entertainments” and more serious novels, though both display his sharp storytelling and moral complexity. Among his most acclaimed novels are Brighton Rock (1938), The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948), and The Quiet American (1955). Many of his books were adapted into successful films, including The Third Man (1949), for which he wrote the screenplay.

Celebrated for his global perspective, Greene often set his stories in politically volatile regions. Widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, he left a legacy of timeless, thought-provoking literature.
