The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler :
- "I think they go their separate and slightly divergent roads to perdition"
- "Neither of them has any more moral sense than a cat" HAHA
- "We're his blood. That's the hell of it....I don't want him to die despising his own blood. It was always wild blood, but it wasn't always rotten blood."
- "What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell. Me, I was part of the nastiness now"
