The 2nd Bond movie starring Timothy Dalton, Licence to Kill, came out in 1989 when I was a whopping 7 years old. Is Licence spelled with a second C in the UK? The first of Dalton’s Bond movies was actually really freaking awesome, so I’m really looking forward to what this one has to offer.

J.W.’s Quotes

“All stories are true,” Skarpi said. “But this one really happened, if that’s what you mean.” He took another slow drink, then smiled again, his bright eyes dancing. “More or less. You have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way. Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
