Greene

Famous quotes containing the word greene:

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

    However great a man’s fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear-headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance—so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival. But think how a sense of survival must clamour to be heard at the last moment, what excuses it must present of a totally unscientific nature.
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    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?
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)
