Even a paranoid can have enemies.

I will never again command an army in America if we must carry along paid spies. I will banish myself to some foreign country first.

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

A regime which combines perpetual surveillance with total indulgence is hardly conducive to healthy development.

It was funny how I could feel all alone and under surveillance at the same time.

The life of spies is to know, not be known.

Spies are of no use nowadays. Their profession is over. The newspapers do their work instead.

Secrets define us, they mark us, they set us apart from all the others. The secrets which we preserve provide a key to who we are, deep down.

Once suspicion is aroused, everything feeds it.
