An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence. – Raymond Chandler
They dont want you until you have made a name, and by the time you have made a name, you have developed some kind of talent they cant use. All they will do is spoil it, if you let them. – Raymond Chandler
The reading public is intellectually adolescent at best, and it is obvious that what is called significant literature will only be sold to this public by exactly the same methods as are used to sell it toothpaste, cathartics and automobiles. – Raymond Chandler
Ability is what youre capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. – Raymond Chandler
