Additional quotes by John le Carré

If you see the world as gloomily as I see it, the only thing to do is laugh or shoot yourself.

He caught the midnight plane to Zurich. It was a beautiful night, and through the small window beside him he watched the grey wing, motionless against the starlit sky, a glimpse of eternity between two worlds.

It all seemed to matter so little—the pathetic quest for love, or the return to solitude.
