Graham Greene

Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.

Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.

Heresy is another word for freedom of thought.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
