Quotes · Graham Greene

“It was for this world that Christ had died; the more evil you saw and heard about you, the greater glory lay around the death. It was too easy to die for what was good and beautiful, for home or children or civilization—it needed a God to die for the half-hearted and the corrupt.”

– Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory, Penguin Classics, 1940, pg. 97.
