Golden Age Detective

Famous quotes containing the words golden, age and/or detective:

    There are no golden geese. There are only fat geese eating the food that could nourish more athletic opportunities for women.
    Donna A. Lopiano (b. 1946)

    Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime—I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful. I agree that it’s hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It’s no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    The best part of myself, that’s what you are. Do you think I’m going to leave it to the vulgar pawing of a second-rate detective who thinks you’re a “dame”? Do you think I could bear the thought of him holding you in his arms, kissing you, loving you?
    Jay Dratler, U.S. screenwriter, Samuel Hoffenstein (1889–1947)
