One day I'm a normal person with a normal life, ” he said. “The next I'm standing on a street corner in Madrid with a secret phone and a hole in my arm and I'm bleeding all over, hoping I don't get arrested. It was completely crazy. But it seemed like the only way at the time. Tyler Hamilton
About This Quote

When I was being tortured for being a spy, I could have easily become bitter about my past. Unfortunately, because I have access to technology that makes it possible for me to communicate with the world, I am able to keep my faith high.To me, the things that happen to us are just things that happen. I may have been tortured but because of the way I have been able to communicate with others, I have been able to move on with my life. The things that happened before will always be relevant but they are no longer part of my past.
