Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

"Quantum of Solace" is a small degree of comfort that can exist between two people emotionally in a relationship. The Governor character in the Ian Fleming short story of the same name defines it as "... a precise figure defining the comfort, humanity and fellow feeling required between two people for love to survive. If the quantum of solace is nil, then love is dead."

The title is taken from Fleming's short story of the same name in the book "For Your Eyes Only". This was the first collection of Fleming James Bond short stories and was first published on April 11, 1960. The collection was subtitled "Five Secret Occasions in the life of James Bond" and was the 8th James Bond book. It also included the short stories "The Hildebrand Rarity", "From A View To A Kill", "Risico" and "For Your Eyes Only".
