Raymond Chandler Quotes
Down These Mean Streets A Man Must Go Who Is Not Himself Mean, Who Is Neither Tarnished Nor Afraid. He Is The Hero; He Is Everything. He Must Be A Complete Man And A Common Man And Yet An Unusual Man. He Must Be, To Use A Rather Weathered Phrase, A Man Of Honor - By Instinct, By Inevitability, Without Thought Of It, And Certainly Without Saying It. He Must Be The Best Man In His World And A Good Enough Man For Any World.
"He Will Take No Man's Money Dishonestly And No Man's Insolence Without A Due And Dispassionate Revenge. He Is A Lonely Man And His Pride Is That You Will Treat Him As A Proud Man Or Be Very Sorry You Ever Saw Him.
"The Story Is This Man's Adventure In Search Of A Hidden Truth, And It Would Be No Adventure If It Did Not Happen To A Man Fit For Adventure. If There Were Enough Like Him, The World Would Be A Very Safe Place To Live In, Without Becoming Too Dull To Be Worth Living In.
