“Look my friend, I've got to commit a murder tonight. Not you. Me. So be a good chap and stuff it, would you?”

“I'm getting very sorry for the Devil and his disciples such as the good Le Chiffre. The devil has a rotten time and I always like to be on the side of the underdog. We don't give the poor chap a chance...the Devil had no prophets to write his Ten Commandments and no team of authors to write his biography.”

“Hm,' said Bond. 'Bogeyman stuff.”

“But I am greedy for life. I do too much of everything all the time. Suddenly one day my heart will fail. The Iron Crab will get me as it got my father. But I am not afraid of The Crab.

In love and hate, and everything in between, those are the only tests that matter. But people are unsure of their own instincts. They want reassurance. So they ask someone else whether they should like a particular person or not. And as the world loves bad news, they nearly always get a bad answer--or at least a qualified one.”

“Bond looked at the beautiful day and smiled. And no man, not even Mr. Big, would have liked the expression on his face.”
