Cornell Woolrich Quotes

Gates Got Up, But Not Fast Or Jerkily, With The Same Slowness That Had Always Characterized Him. He Wiped The Sweat Off His Palms By Running Them Lightly Down His Sides. As Though He Were Going To Shake Hands With Somebody.
He Was. He Was Going To Shake Hands With Death.
He Wasn't Particularly Frightened. Not That He Was Particularly Brave. It Was Just That He Didn't Have Very Much Imagination. Rationalizing, He Knew That He Wasn't Going To Be Alive Anymore Ten Minutes From Now. Yet He Wasn't Used To Casting His Imagination Ten Minutes Ahead Of Him, He'd Always Kept It By Him In The Present. He Couldn't Visualize It. So He Wasn't As Unnerved By It As The Average Man Would Have Been.
("3 Kills For 1")
