“Personally I like the English style better. It is not quite so brittle, and the people as a rule, just wear clothes and drink drinks. There is more sense of background, as if Cheesecake Manor really existed all around and not just the part the camera sees; there are more long walks over the Downs and the characters don’t all try to behave as if they had just been tested by MGM. The English may not always be the best writers in the world, but they are incomparably the best dull writers.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Simple Art of Murder

“In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.”

“I learned your language and I learned your rules. I am more like you than me now.”
