Felix Leiter says this thought-provoking quote inNo Time to Die.He is a CIA intelligence operative who works alongside Bond in multiple films in the James Bond franchise. He is insanely smart and strategic and knows exactly what to do to get what he wants. Felix appears at the start of Bond’s latest adventure and is chock-full of memorable quotes and wisdom.
He muses on the difficulty of knowing who is doing the right thing versus who is fighting for the wrong reasons, considering that even his side could be wrong. He and Bond have witnessed many organizational wrongdoings overtheir complex life stories, having met many people claiming to be on their side but are ready to do anything, good or evil, for selfish gain.
These are Q’s first words to James in the movie. Q hadn’t seen him in years since he defected from MI6 after the events ofSpectre. The irony of the quote is that Q knows Bond enough to know that he wouldn’t die easily and was alive during his long disappearance.
Q is anxious when Bond and Money Penny appear at his home while he’s preparing for a date, unsure what wild schemes are occurring that would bring Bond “back to life” and into his private residence. Once Q is briefed on the situation, he is quick to find a solution, proving why he is such a valuable asset to the secret intelligence unit.
12"James Bond. We Both Eradicate People To Make The World A Better Place. I Just Want To Be A Little Tidier."
The main villain in the movie is Lyutsifer Safin, the one who said this quote. Safin has a very interesting view of the world he lives in. He is on a revenge rampage aimed at killing the entire Spectre organization for killing his family when he was young, and he is very successful in his goals.

His face was left disfigured from his parent’s death, which makes all of his lines even more chilling coming from his attacked, scarred visage. He calmly tries to connect with Bond and get him on his side to have one less enemy, trying to compare their life’s work with each other.
11"I Wasn’t Looking Over My Shoulder."
At the start of the film,James Bondis living a seemingly normal and comfortable life with his one true love, Madeleine Swann. They drive along the beautiful Italian coast and arrive at a small hillside town where Bond has a bit of unfinished business to attend to.
As the couple walks up to their luxurious hotel room, Bond carefully inspects his surroundings, clearly stricken with a form of PTSD or simply major trust issues. Madeleine comforts and teases him, saying he can relax and doesn’t have to always be looking over his shoulder. This scene demonstrates Bond’s struggles with living a normal life, even after so much time out of his profession.
10"We All Have Our Secrets, We Just Didn’t Get To Yours Yet."
Peace never lasts long for secret agent James Bond, with trouble and revenge brewing around every corner. After an unexpected attack from Spectre, James feels utterly betrayed by Madeleine, the only person who knew his current location. The coincidences were too overwhelming for the distrustful man to handle, leading him to pull Madeleine out of the resort in a frenzy.
He hastily ushers her into his car, fleeing the onslaught of gunfire raining down upon them. He loses all trust in his partner and makes it clear by sending her on a train so that she could never see him again.
9"I’m Not Just A Double 0. I’m 007."
When James first meets Nomi, the secret agent who took his place during his 5 years off the grid, he doesn’t know how to feel about her. She establishes her qualifications and status by letting him know that she is the new 007, and they hadn’t decommissioned his number after he disappeared. This confirms that his leaving MI6 wasn’t taken lightly and he was shamed for disappearing on them all those years ago.

Bond and Nomi’s relationship gets off to a rocky start, with quite a bit of apparent envy from both parties. Each acknowledges the strength and skills of the other, but they lack acting with respect and showing politeness towards each other. The two grow to admire each other as time goes on, but definitely not at the start of the film.
8"Shaken, Not Stirred."
In Cuba, Felix sets Bond up to meet with a new agent in the CIA named Paloma, played by Ana de Armas. The twoset out on a missionto kidnap the already kidnapped russian scientist with a dangerous bioweapon, so they infiltrate a formal party where he is located.
Before getting into any gunfights or danger, the two enjoy a quick drink at the bar. Of course, this allows Bond to say his all-time famous line that appears in every movie: “Shaken, not stirred.” Bond loves his neat martinis!
7"Bond. James Bond."
It wouldn’t bea 007 moviewithout James stating his name in the most iconic way. However, inNo Time To Die, James has to tell his name to a receptionist at his own former government agency where he spent so many years of his life, showing how he is now just a visitor, not a highly respected agent.
It’s a funny little moment, conveying Bond’s unfamiliarity with people not knowing who he is in the spy world anymore after being out of service for so long.
6"I Do Not Regret A Single Moment Of My Life That I Spent With You…Except Putting You On That Train."
The romance in this film is top-notch. After reuniting with his true love so many years later, James is finally able to confess his feelings to Madeleine in her childhood home. He feels guilty for leaving her in the past, not trusting her enough to know that it wasn’t her who turned on him.

Bond always has such a way with words, telling Madeleine exactly what she needed to hear to accept him into her life again. It is beautiful to see how James Bond, the man who is supposed to make no mistakes, admits to making a huge one in his personal love life.
5"History Isn’t Kind To Those Who Play God."
James knows all too well how villains end up when they wish to destroy the world. With too much power comes an eventual downfall, which is seen in the case of every single Bond villain.
Outside of the books and films, the real world also backs up this quote. Huge leaders and politicians across our history have always found an unfavorable end when they get too power hungry. Bond warned the antagonist Safin,played by Rami Malek, about his eventual demise, having seen it happen too many times.
