Spy Quotes (page 4)

Re-reading is much underrated. I've read The Spy Who Came in from the Cold once every five years since I was 15. I only started to understand it the third time. Malcolm Gladwell
So we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh. At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues. Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too--Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out--And take upon 's the mystery of things. As if we were God's spies... William Shakespeare
I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter’s son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter — J. K. Rowling
Take your place, then. Look at what happened from every side and consider all the other ways it could have gone. Consider, even, an Africa unconquered altogether. Imagine those first Portuguese adventurers approaching the shore, spying on the jungle’s edge through their fitted brass lenses. Imagine that by some miracle of dread or reverence they lowered their spyglasses, turned, set their riggings, sailed on. Imagine all who came after doing the same. What would that Africa be now? All I can... Barbara Kingsolver
Ok now--I don't read "all the time." Remember, that these ratings are over quite a while. I'll try to put in some comments over what I've been reading lately. I like Vince Flynn's spy/thrillers. Also, check out Umberto Eco's one "On Beauty"--not the precise title, but great art/comments. Also, Sophie's World if you like a pretty unusual story with philosophy mixed in. Umberto Eco
The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties. Graham Greene
Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret. Lauren Graham
I love the idea of spies in love. How would it work between two people who were so programmed to lie and be suspicious, who have a whole life based on pretence? Tony Gilroy
They make Spy Kids, they make Scream, they make A Scary Movie. This doesn't do that, so it could be a very bad marriage. I'm trying to keep this potential nightmare quiet because we're just finishing editing. Terry Gilliam
It's about these people who are inextricably together for whatever reasons, and they happen to be in the spy world. It's about relationships, and the bottom line is, that's why you care. Victor Garber
Steve Forbes quote: "No more turning a blind eye to Chinese spies in our nuclear..."
No more turning a blind eye to Chinese spies in our nuclear labs. No more keeping silent about Chinese slave labor camps. Steve Forbes
I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life. Carrie Fisher
It's rather fun writing a female spy, because she has so much more kit. Bond never carried a hair dryer or a makeup bag. And he certainly didn't wear an uplift bra. Helen Fielding
Today's difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal. Friedrich Durrenmatt
Dana Delany quote: "I think I would make a good spy. I can sort of be a chameleon...."
I think I would make a good spy. I can sort of be a chameleon. People don't notice me very easily. I never get recognized. Dana Delany
