-Raymond Chandler

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
-Raymond Chandler
I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room.
-Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely
I'm an occasional drinker, the kind of guy who goes out for a beer and wakes up in Singapore with a full beard.
-Raymond Chandler, Philip Marlowe's Guide to Life
The French have a phrase for it. The bastards have a phrase for everything and they are always right. To say goodbye is to die a little.
-Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
