"Get out while you can. While you still believe. While you still have a soul."

"My feet, they're cutting off pieces of them. It's not dignified for a man to have to die from the feet up."

"You are going to have to learn, and as quickly and thoroughly as possible, the English system of intelligence, the black arts, particularly counterintelligence... the uses of information, disinformation, and how their use is ultimately... power. They have agreed to open up their operations to us, they can't win the war without us, but they don't really want us here... Intelligence is their mother's milk, and they don't like sharing the royal tit with people that don't have titles."

Edward Wilson: "If we continue down this road, there will be a third world war. I dont think either of us wants a real war."
Ulysses: "What would you do for a living then?"

Sam Murach: "You're asking me to give you FBI files of an American citizen? You know I can't do that, it's against the law to spy on citizens."

Edward Wilson: "And, yet, a certain word, a glance, a guise, will mirror, never show, reflecting not my gaze, but my uncertain question caught inside a shadow of our shifting eyes."

"Friends can be enemies, and enemies friends."

"It isn't about dedication and loyalty, it's about belief in what we do."
