“Never tell a lie when you can bullshit your way through it”
Eric Ambler,Dirty Story

“Reality is always so obstructive.”
Eric Ambler,Epitaph for a Spy

“Yet, when these facts are seen side by side with other facts in the case, it is difficult not to become lost in superstitious awe. Their very absurdity seems to prohibit the use of the words 'chance' and 'coincidence.' For the sceptic there remains only one consolation: if there should be such a thing as superhuman Law, it is administered with sub-human inefficiency.”
Eric Ambler,The Mask of Dimitrios
