Graham Greene Quote
But you do believe, don’t you, Rose implored him, you think it’s true? Of course it’s true, the Boy said. What else could there be? he went scornfully on. Why, he said, it’s the only thing that fits. These atheists, they don’t know nothing. Of course there’s Hell. Flames and damnation, he said with his eyes on the dark shifting water and the lightning and the lamps going out above the black struts of the Palace Pier, torments. And Heaven too, Rose said with anxiety, while the rain fell interminably on. Oh, maybe, the Boy said, maybe.

About Graham Greene
Henry Graham Greene (2 October 1904 – 3 April 1991) was an English writer and journalist regarded by many as one of the leading novelists of the 20th century.
Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels, and of thrillers (or "entertainments" as he termed them). He was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times. Through 67 years of writing, which included over 25 novels, he explored the conflicting moral and political issues of the modern world. He was awarded the 1968 Shakespeare Prize and the 1981 Jerusalem Prize.
He converted to Catholicism in 1926 after meeting his future wife, Vivien Dayrell-Browning. Later in life he took to calling himself a "Catholic agnostic".
He died in 1991, aged 86, of leukemia, and was buried in Corseaux cemetery in Switzerland.
