Image
And people with obsessions, reflected Bond, were blind to danger.
Ian Fleming
Image
I was just on the edge of getting married, and I was frenzied at the prospect of this great step in my life after having been a bachelor for so long. And I really wanted to take my mind off of the agony, and so I decided to sit down and write a book.

Loneliness becomes a lover, solitude a darling sin.

It reads better than it lives
Ian Fleming
Image
If I wait for the genius to come, it just doesn't arrive.
Ian Fleming
Image
One of the bibles of my youth was 'Birds of the West Indies,' by James Bond, a well-known ornithologist, and when I was casting about for a name for my protagonist I thought, 'My God, that's the dullest name I've ever heard,' so I appropriated it. Now the dullest name in the world has become an exciting one.

Never job backwards. What might have been was a waste of time.

Englishmen are so odd. They are like a nest of Chinese boxes. It takes a very long time to get to the centre of them. When one gets there the result is unrewarding, but the process is instructive and entertaining.

It’s just that I’d rather die of drink than of thirst.
Ian Fleming
Image
Bond always mistrusted short men. They grew up from childhood with an inferiority complex. All their lives they would strive to be big - bigger than the others who had teased them as a child. Napoleon had been short, and Hitler. It was the short men that caused all the trouble in the world.

At gambling, the deadly sin is to mistake bad play for bad luck.
Ian Fleming
Image
If you interrupt the writing of fast narrative with too much introspection and self-criticism, you will be lucky if you write 500 words a day and you will be disgusted with them into the bargain. By following my formula, you write 2,000 words a day and you aren’t disgusted with them until the book is finished, which will be in about six weeks.

I am a poet in deeds--not often in words.
Ian Fleming
Image
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
Image
Bond didn't defend the practice. He simply maintained that the more effort and ingenuity you put into gambling, the more you took out.
Ian Fleming
Image
A woman can put up with almost anything anything but indifference.
Ian Fleming
Image
My mental hands were empty, and I felt I must do something as a counterirritant or antibody to my hysterical alarm at getting married at the age of 43.

The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning.

Everything I write has a precedent in truth.

Hope makes a good breakfast. Eat plenty of it.
