Famous quotes containing the words economic, espionage and/or act:

    “Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
    —Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)

    “I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
