Death Quote by Graham Greene — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I suppose in all lives a moment comes when we wonder--suppose after all there is a God, suppose the theologians are right.”

“How often the priest had heard the same confession--Man was so limited: he hadn't even the ingenuity to invent a new vice: the animals knew as much. It was for this world that Christ had died: the more evil you saw and heard about you, the greater the glory lay around the death; it was too easy to die for what was good or beautiful, for home or children or civilization--it needed a God to die for the half-hearted and the corrupt.”

“Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practices. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.”

“One forgets the dead quite quickly; one doesn't wonder about the dead-what is he doing now, who is he with?”

“Ο θάνατος είναι πάντα από μόνος του μια απόδειξη ειλικρίνειας.”

“What are you doing to me?” he asked the crow, tearful. Teaching you how to fly. “I can’t fly!” You’re flying right now. “I’m falling!” Every flight begins with a fall, the crow said.”

“Superman comics are a fable, not of strength, but of disintegration. They appeal to the preadolescent, (sic) mind not because they reiterate grandiose delusions, but because they reiterate a very deep cry for help.”

“Even in the grave, all is not lost.”

“Life is both sad and solemn. We are led into a wonderful world, we meet one another here, greet each other - and wander together for a brief moment. Then we lose each other and disappear as suddenly and unreasonably as we arrived.”

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”

“No man kills himself unless there is something wrong with his life.”
