Raymond Chandler
I hung up. It was a good start, but it didn’t go far enough. I ought to have locked the door and hidden under the desk.
Raymond Chandler
Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. They just don't know.
Raymond Chandler
The kind of lawyer you hope the other fellow has.
Raymond Chandler
She was kind of girl who'd eat all your cashews and leave you with nothing but peanuts and filberts.
Raymond Chandler
