"Then, for no reason I could tell you, I tossed the spool again, even though Elaine had asked me not to. Maybe only because, in a way, him chasing a spool was like old people having their slow and careful version of sex - you might not want to watch it , you who are young and convinced that, when it comes to old age, an exception will be made in your case, but they still want to do it."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"Sixty-nine was an interesting age--an age of infinite possibilities--an age when at last the experience of a lifetime was beginning to tell. But to feel old--that was different, a tired, discouraged state of mind when one was inclined to ask oneself depressing questions. What was he after all? A little dried-up elderly man, with neither chick nor child, with no human belongings, only a valuable Art collection which seemed at the moment strangely unsatisfying. No one to care whether he lived or died..."

"Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline."

Success

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction."

Truth

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"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."

Truth

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered."

Wisdom

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"The moment comes when a character does or says something you hadn't thought about. At that moment he's alive and you leave it to him."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are."

Life

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery."

"Failure too is a form of death."

Death

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat; I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing."

People

Quote_1.png
Graham Greene
"It's a strange thing to discover and to believe that you are loved when you know that there is nothing in you for anybody but a parent or a God to love."
