    The Governor paused and look reflectively over at Bond. He said, "You're not married, but I think it's the same with all relationships between a man and a woman. They can survive anything so long as some kind of basic humanity exists between two people. When all kindness is gone, when one person obviously and sincerely doesn't care if the other is alive or dead, then it's just no good. That particular insult to the ego - worse, to the instinct of self-preservation - can never be forgiven. I've noticed this in hundreds of marriages. I've seen flagrant infidelities patched up, I've seen crimes and even murder forgiven by the other party, let alone bankruptcy and every other form of social crime. Incurable disease, blindness, disaster - all these can be overcome. But never the death of common humanity in one of the partners. I've thought about this and invented a rather high-sounding title for this basic factor in human relations. I have called it the Law of the Quantum of Solace".

    Bond said, "That's a splendid name for it. It's certainly impressive enough. And of course I see what you mean. I should say you're absolutley right. Quantum of Solace - the amount of comfort. Yes, I suppose you could say that. Human beings are very insecure. When the other person not only makes you feel insecure but actullly wants to destroy you, it's obviously the end. The Quantum of Solace stands at zero. You've got to get away to save yourself."

    -- Ian Fleming

    If the next Bond film even gets half of this, I'll be a happy.
