Graham Greene Quotes

It Was As If She Had Spoken Slightingly Of A Woman He Loved. For He Dreamed Of Peace By Day And Night. Once In Sleep It Had Appeared To Him As The Great Glowing Shoulder Of The Moon Heaving Across His Window Like An Iceberg, Arctic And Destructive In The Moment Before The World Was Struck: By Day He Tried To Win A Few Moments Of Its Company, Crouched Under The Rusting Handcuffs In The Locked Office, Reading The Reports From The Sub-stations. Peace Seemed To Him The Most Beautiful Word In The Language: My Peace I Give To You, My Peace I Leave With You: O Lamb Of God, Who Takest Away The Sins Of The World, Grant Us Thy Peace. In The Mass He Pressed His Fingers Against His Eyes To Keep The Tears Of Longing In.
