The Mole/Quotes
"An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men."
" A mole is a deep-penetration agent so called because they burrow deep into the fabric of Western Imperialism. Moles are very precious to the centre because of the years to place them, often fifteen or twenty."—Irinia, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
