“As honest as you can expect a man to be in a world where it’s going out of style.”

Raymond Chandler (quote from The Big Sleep)

“I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings.”

Raymond Chandler (quote from The Big Sleep)

“Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains. You’re the second guy I’ve met within hours who seems to think a gat in the hand means a world by the tail.”

Raymond Chandler, quote from The Big Sleep

“Tall, aren’t you?” she said.

“I didn’t mean to be.”

Her eyes rounded. She was puzzled. She was thinking. I could see, even on that short acquaintance, that thinking was always going to be a bother to her.”

―Raymond Chandler (quote from The Big Sleep)
