Quote by Graham Greene

I doubt if ever one ceases to love, but one can cease to be in love as easily as one can outgrow an author one admired as a boy.

I doubt if ever one ceases to love, but one can cease to be

Summary

This quote suggests that while love itself may not fade, the feeling of being "in love" with someone can diminish over time, similar to how one can outgrow a childhood author. It implies that love can evolve and change as people mature and develop different priorities. It implies that the initial infatuation and admiration may eventually wane, but it doesn't necessarily mean that love itself disappears.

Except for the sound of the rain, on the road, on the roofs, on the umbrella, there was absolute silence: only the dying moan of the sirens continued for a moment or two to vibrate within the ear. It seemed to Scobie later that this was the ultimate border he had reached in happiness: being in darkness, alone, with the rain falling, without love or pity.
