They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.

More From Graham Greene

My childhood is streets upon streets upon streets upon streets. streets to define you and streets to confine you, with no sign of motorway, freeway or highway.
Childhood Highways Streets
"i was just like a pathological liar when i was a kid. i think i just wanted to one-up somebody. somebody would be like, 'oh, god, my legs hurt.' i'd be like, 'your legs hurt? i'm getting mine amputated next week.' and that's actually how my mother found out. she came to school and somebody was like, 'god, that's such a shame about jennifer's legs.' she made me purge. i had to spill out all of my lies. i was like, 'i said that dad drove a barge, and we were millionaires, and you were pregnant, i had to get my legs amputated, and i spayed cats and dogs on the weekends.' now i can't lie.
Life Mother Dog
If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg so that it must be amputated, god will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life.
Christian Men Drunk
The thing i always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. the shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. the goal is to get people to look at a woman's legs. it's all about the leg. no, it's not about the leg. it's about the woman.
Shoes Feet People
I have a very basic leg. but it has a silicon cover on it. i have a flat foot leg, a high heel leg and then i have a leg which, in the winter, i have to ski in and in the summer i swap it into my roller blades.
Summer Winter High Heels
If i refuse to allow my leg to be amputated, its mortification and my death may prove that i was wrong; but if i let the leg go, nobody can ever prove that it would not have mortified had i been obstinate. operation is therefore the safe side for the surgeon as well as the lucrative side.
Legs May Safe
Similar Quotes
When my legs go back you can hear them jangle, once ya pop you can't stop like a can of pringles.
Legs Bragging Pops
We seldom break our leg so long as life continues a toilsome upward climb. the danger comes when we begin to take things easily and choose the convenient paths.
Long Legs Path
Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, it's still an illness, and there should be no distinction.
Heart Brain Legs
Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.
Legs Odd Skis
