Ian Fleming
At gambling, the deadly sin is to mistake bad play for bad luck.
Ian Fleming
Most marriages don't add two people together. They subtract one from the other.
Ian Fleming
You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.
Ian Fleming
As for sex, well, I mean sex is a perfectly respectable subject as far as Shakespeare is concerned. I mean, all history is love and violence.
Ian Fleming
A gentleman's choice of timepiece says as much about him as does his Saville Row suit.
Ian Fleming
I am a poet in deeds--not often in words.
Ian Fleming
Against the background of this luminous and sparkling stage Bond stood in the sunshine and felt his mission to be incongruous and remote and his dark profession an affront to his fellow actors.
Ian Fleming
Hope makes a good breakfast. Eat plenty of it.
Ian Fleming
