More From Graham Greene

If you become so frightened of realities that are not your own, if you take upon yourselves tragedies that do not exist in your reality, in your moment, then you weaken your position and weaken the position, of those you think you are helping. you look about you and you see only hopelessness and helplessness. you organize your reality according to the tragedies of the newspapers!
Reality Thinking Tragedy
America, we weaken our ties when we allow our political dialogue to become so corrosive that people of good character aren't even willing to enter into public service; so coarse with rancor that americans with whom we disagree are seen not just as misguided but as malevolent. we weaken those ties when we define some of us as more american than others, when we write off the whole system as inevitably corrupt, and when we sit back and blame the leaders we elect without examining our own role in electing them.
Writing Character People
You can get what you want. never sell out. don't break. don't weaken. don't let the kindness of strangers be your salvation, for it is no salvation at all. unless you sleep alone, you sleep with the enemy. never come out of the storm. on the other hand, maybe you should. you don't have what it takes to go the hard way. come out of the cold and sit by the fire. let them warm you with the smiles and promise of friendship's fortune. lose your edge. a soft body and chained mind suit you. chances are you don't have what it takes to walk the frozen trail. stay home and relax.
Kindness Sleep Home
Well, it's a good life and a good world, all said and done, if you don't weaken.
Good Life Reflection Done
The reward of renunciation is some good greater than the thing renounced. to renounce with no vision of such a good, from fear or in automatic obedience to a formula, is to weaken the springs of life, and to diminish the soul's resistance to this world.
Spring Soul Vision
Oh, why does compassion weaken us?' it doesn't, really...somewhere where it all balances out-don't the philosophers have a name for it, the perfect place, the place where the answers live?-if we could go there, you could see it doesn't.it only looks, a little bit, like it does, from here, like an ant at the foot of an oak tree. he doesn't have a clue that it's a tree; it's the beginning of the wall round the world, to him.

Perhaps my favourite story is 'le passe-muraille' by marcel ayme. it's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. he's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration.
Wall Revenge Mean
When i pointed to him his palms slipped slightly, leaving greasy sweat streaks on the wall, and he hooked his thumbs in his belt. a strange spasm shook him, as if he heard fingernails scrape slate, but as i gazed at him in wonder the tension slowly drained from his face. his lips parted into a timid smile, and our neighbor’s image blurred with my sudden tears. “hey, boo,” i said. “mr. arthur, honey,” said atticus, gently correcting me. “jean louise, this is mr. arthur radley. i believe he already knows you.

It is the same: a chosen one is a man whom god's finger crushes against the wall.
Crush Wall Men
Whatever your business - i don't care if it's radio, if it's wall street, if it's mainstream retail, whatever you do - do not hang around people who failed at it. whatever you do, do not take guidance from people who failed at it - unless they, at some point, succeeded. everybody who fails is bitter, and failures often blame everybody else.
