Dashiell Hammett
“The face she made at me was probably meant for a smile. Whatever it was, it beat me. I was afraid she'd do it again, so I surrendered”
Dashiell Hammett, The Continental Op
tags: noir, wry

Dashiell Hammett
“...I guess I can put two and two together."
"Sometimes the answer's four," I said, "and sometimes it's twenty-two...”
Dashiell Hammett, The Thin Man

Dashiell Hammett
“If you have a story that seems worth telling, and you think you can tell it worthily, then the thing for you to do is to tell it, regardless of whether it has to do with sex, sailors or mounted policemen.”
Dashiell Hammett

James M. Cain
“I had killed a man, for money and a woman. I didn't have the money and I didn't have the woman.”
James M. Cain, Double Indemnity

Dashiell Hammett
“When a man's partner is killed he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. Then it happens we were in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed it's bad business to let the killer get away with it. It's bad all around-bad for that one organization, bad for every detective everywhere.
Sam Spade”
Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon
