Famous quotes containing the word greene:

“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)

“Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)

“Death’s at the bottom of everything, Martins. Leave death to the professionals.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
