They had been corrupted by money, and he had been corrupted by sentiment. sentiment was the more dangerous, because you couldn’t name its price. a man open to bribes was to be relied upon below a certain figure, but sentiment might uncoil in the heart at a name, a photograph, even a smell remembered.

More From Graham Greene

When you smell our candles burning, what does it make you think of, my child?" winterfell, she might have said. i smell snow and smoke and pine needles. i smell the stables. i smell hodor laughing, and jon and robb battling in the yard, and sansa singing about some stupid lady fair. i smell the crypts where the stone kings sit. i smell hot bread baking. i smell the godswood. i smell my wolf. i smell her fur, almost as if she were still beside me. "i don't smell anything," she said.
Kings Children Stupid
To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. i had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. it is a melancholy truth that i will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. i am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

Most readers look at the photograph first. if you put it in the middle of the page, the reader will start by looking in the middle. then her eye must go up to read the headline; this doesn't work, because people have a habit of scanning downwards. however, suppose a few readers do read the headline after seeing the photograph below it. after that, you require them to jump down past the photograph which they have already seen. not bloody likely.
