I'm real bent on dialogue. I'm just a little bit crazy and when you put that along with 20 years as a criminal lawyer, it's pretty easy to come up with some interesting plots.
If our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.
Spy plots are hard, really hard.
There are those who maintain that in this world women have no right to interfere in the affairs of state, in politics, in plots and counter-plots. Others that are who, more chivalrous, are willing to admit that women have as much right to act, think, and speak as men.

I believe that the formation of the Chekas was one of the gravest and most impermissible errors that the Bolshevik leaders committed in 1918 when plots, blockades, and interventions made them lose their heads.

Was it necessary to revert to the procedures of the Inquisition?
I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil.
