I grew up on the Roger Moore and Sean Connery Bond movies, so the DNA of my spies is extremely ridiculous and goofy.

And don't tell me the end justifies the means because it doesn't. We never reach the end. All we ever get is means. That's what we live with.

I have known heaven, and now I am in hell, and there are mimes.

The tree of nonsense is watered with error, and from its branches swing the pumpkins of disaster.

Children, bored and opinionated, are scholars of the most dogmatic stripe.

Short of nuclear war itself, population growth is the gravest issue the world faces. If we do not act, the problem will be solved by famine, riots, insurrection and war.

To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
