John Le Carré's quotes
- [describing how the spies he writes about are different than the "super-hero" secret agent in the James Bond mold] A mostly aging, weary, unromantic lot, prone to distressing stomach ailments and having troubles with their wives.
- Writers are two-home men--they want a place outside and a place within.
- 15 years ago this was a great Country in which to have a heart attack in the street.
- [2017, on discovering that his father had been an arms dealer] He constantly surprises long after his death.
- Peter was overmatched and he lost. His agents were hanged. No one recovers entirely from that sort of thing. That is, I wouldn't trust a man who did
- Where I kick myself is where I think I actually contributed to the myth of the intelligence services being very good.
- [speaking in 2017 about his neighbors] The Cornish don't give a damn for celebrity. If they even know what I do they haven't read it, or if they have read it they make a point of not being impressed by it, and that is enormously soothing.
