Espionage Ring

Famous quotes containing the words espionage and/or ring:

“I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”

“But whatever happens, wherever the scene is laid, somebody, somewhere, will quietly set out—somebody has already set out, somebody still rather far away is buying a ticket, is boarding a bus, a ship, a plane, has landed, is walking toward a million photographers, and presently he will ring at my door—a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
