The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene. Quotes III

 -Scobie was aware of the sense of exile. Over there, where all these people knelt, was a county to which he would never return. The sense of love stirred in him, the love one always feels for what one has lost, whether a child, a woman, or even pain. 

-Death never comes when one desires it most. 

-It's only because I have done these bad things that success comes. 

-Robinson was exhibiting the most enviable possession a man can own: a happy death.  

-Human beings couldn't be heroic all the time: those who surrendered everything for God or love, must be allowed sometimes in thought to take back their surrender.
