007’s 25 movies are so littered with witty dialogue and wry one-liners that the best James Bond quotes rank among the most globally recognized in cinema history. James Bond first appeared in Ian Fleming’s novel Casino Royale in 1953 and went on to appear in 14 books, but the iconic and highly quotable 007 movies are why Britain’s most famous fictional spy is a decades-spanning franchise. Sean Connery first played 007 on the big screen, but over the years, actors George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig have all played the spy for Eon Productions’ films, with each delivering their own slant on 007.
