Le Fond du problème est un roman de l'écrivain britannique Graham Greene, paru en 1948. Il a reçu le James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practises. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.
