Quotes by Jefferson Morley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Home is where one starts from. As we grow older The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated Of dead and living. Not the intense moment Isolated, with no before and after, But a lifetime burning in every moment And not the lifetime of one man only But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.”
Jefferson Morley, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton

“Hoover was able to expand the list of COINTELPRO targets in the years to come to include such enemies of the people as civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,”
Jefferson Morley, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton

“Like Angleton, Dulles preferred collaborating with fascists to enabling Communists.”
Jefferson Morley, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton
