The Book & the Movie: The Third Man | Graham Greene / Carol Reed, 1949
“You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
Graham Greene, The Third Man, 1949
“I loved a man,” she said. “I told you—a man doesn’t alter because you find out more
about him. He’s still the same man.”
“We never get accustomed to being less important to other people than they are to us.”
Graham Greene, The Third Man, 1949
“For God’s sake stop making people in your image. Harry was real. He wasn’t just your hero and my lover. He was Harry. He was in a racket. He did bad things. What about it? He was the man we knew.”
