William Shakespeare
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Raymond Chandler

Raymond Chandler, The High Window

Emma Bull

Emma Bull, Bone Dance

William Shakespeare
“To die, - To sleep, - To sleep!

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Raymond Chandler

You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”
Raymond Chandler, Red Wind: A Collection of Short Stories
