“Love, when you get fear in it, it's not love any more. It's hate.”
James M. Cain, The Postman Always Rings Twice

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

James M. Cain
“As I say, they don’t teach it at the academy, but you learn it on the job: not every man’s death is a crime.”
James M. Cain, The Cocktail Waitress

Ross Macdonald
“My free hand reached for something to hold on to, and closed on liquid nothing.”
Ross Macdonald, The Drowning Pool
