Quotes by I.S. Berry (?)

“At the end of the road, I've learned, espionage turns into a profession of ghosts. The culmination of actions taken or not taken, ends swallowed by means. A place where, even after you disappear, you can't escape”
― I.S. Berry, The Peacock and the Sparrow

“I was free from the tangle of mistakes, promises, and defeats that grips a man's heels, taunts him with flashes of its sinewy strength.”
― I.S. Berry, The Peacock and the Sparrow

tags: mistakes, regret

“Jimmy dealt in one of two limitless departments within the CIA - money and suspicion - so he never lacked work or the appearance of importance.”
