Quotes:
“Spies go undercover. They take on different personas.” – David Leitch
“I’m almost incapable of lying. I’d be a terrible spy.” – Gary Oldman
“Waiting. Like it or not, it’s a skill all spies have to master eventually.”― Ally Carter

“The life of spies is to know, not be known.” – George Herbert
“For an old spy and codebreaker like myself, nothing in the world happens by coincidence.” – Malcolm Nance
“Spies have the same kinds of needs and desires that everybody does, which is funny. The best kind of comedy derives from that kind of truth.” – Matt Nix
“From the outside, the CIA seems pretty exotic, but from the inside, it’s a big bureaucratic place. Think ‘post office with spies.” – Barry Eisler
“Spies go to bars for the same reason people go to libraries: full of information if you know where to ask.” – Michael Weston
“A spy, like a writer, lives outside the mainstream population. He steals his experience through bribes and reconstructs it.” – John le Carre
