The English may not always be the best writers in the world, but they are incomparably the best dull writers (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
A check girl in peach-bloom Chinese pajamas came over to take my hat and disapprove of my clothes. She had eyes like strange sins (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The publishers and others should quit worrying about losing customers to TV. The guy who can sit through a trio of deodorant commercials to look at Flashgun Casey or swallow a flock of beer and loan-shark spiels in order to watch a couple of fourth-rate club fighters rub noses on the ropes is not losing any time from book reading (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that, oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell. Me, I was part of the nastiness now. Far more a part of it than Rusty Regan was (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
I merely say that all reading for pleasure is escape, whether it be Greek, mathematics, astronomy, Benedetto Croce, or The Diary of the Forgotten Man. To say otherwise is to be an intellectual snob, and a juvenile at the art of living (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
Technique alone is never enough. You have to have passion. Technique alone is just an embroidered potholder (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
I don’t mind your showing me your legs. They’re very swell legs and it’s a pleasure to make their acquaintace. I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter nights (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The French have a phrase for it. The bastards have a phrase for everything and they are always right. To say goodbye is to die a little (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
It was a cool day and very clear. You could see a long way-but not as far as Velma had gone (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
The tragedy of life, Howard, is not that the beautiful die young, but that they grow old and mean. It will not happen to me (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
Writers who get written about become self-conscious. They develop a regrettable habit of looking at themselves through the eyes of other people. They are no longer alone, they have an investment in critical praise, and they think they must protect it. This leads to a diffusion of effort. The writer watches himself as he works. He grows more subtle and he pays for it by loss of organic dash (Raymond Chandler Quotes)
