More quotes by Ian Fleming
Men want a woman whom they can turn on and off like a light switch.
Ian Fleming
You can get far in North America with laconic grunts. Huh, hun, and hi! in their various modulations, together with sure, guess so, that so? and nuts! will meet almost any contingency.
Ian Fleming
Most marriages don't add two people together. They subtract one from the other.
Ian Fleming

Ian Fleming
Our prisons are full of people who think they're Napoleon..or God.
Ian Fleming

Ian Fleming
He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.
Ian Fleming
Bond reflected that good Americans were fine people and that most of them seemed to come from Texas.
Ian Fleming

Ian Fleming
Everything I write has a precedent in truth.
Ian Fleming
It’s just that I’d rather die of drink than of thirst.
Ian Fleming
Loneliness becomes a lover, solitude a darling sin.
Ian Fleming
A dry martini,' he said. 'One. In a deep champagne goblet.' ... Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?
Ian Fleming
A woman can put up with almost anything anything but indifference.
Ian Fleming
Before a man's forty, girls cost nothing. After that you have to pay money, or tell a story. Of the two, it's the story that hurts most. Anyway I'm not forty yet.
Ian Fleming
The World Is Not Enough
Ian Fleming
The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning.
