Famous quotes containing the word chandler:

    The challenge of screenwriting is to say much in little and then take half of that little out and still preserve an effect of leisure and natural movement.
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    The private detective of fiction is a fantastic creation who acts and speaks like a real man. He can be completely realistic in every sense but one, that one sense being that in life as we know it such a man would not be a private detective.
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    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.
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
