S.S. Van Dine

“We all do things in a certain individual way, according to our temperaments.
Every human act — no matter how large or how small— is a direct expression of
a man's personality, and bears the inevitable impress of his nature.”
― S.S. van Dine

“Your mind is so typical, Markham. It works on the principle that what you don’t know isn’t knowledge, and that, since you don’t understand a thing, there is no explanation.”
― S.S. Van Dine, The Benson Murder Case
