More From John le Carre
- "Most people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader’s daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage."
- "Until we have a better relationship between private performance and the public truth, as was demonstrated with Watergate, we as the public are absolutely right to remain suspicious, contemptuous even, of the secrecy and the misinformation which is the digest of our news."
- "During the Cold War, we lived in coded times when it wasn’t easy and there were shades of grey and ambiguity."
More In War
- "No matter how vast, how total, the failure of man here on earth, the work of man will be resumed elsewhere. War leaders talk of resuming operations on this front and that, but man’s front embraces the whole universe."― Henry Miller
- "The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one."― Albert Einstein
- "We have long honored those who gave their lives during the unfortunate reality of war."― Michael N. Castle
