It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I loved his Bond films as a kid, but I know better than to rewatch them after seeing a few scenes of Moonraker recently  :lol:

Can't link it atm, but the Independent has a really good obit on him.  Didn't know he started off as a film studio apprentice cartoonist.

First Bond movie I saw was For Your Eyes Only, which imprinted into my mind Roger Moore as James Bond.  RIP :(
