Quote of the Day (Raymond Chandler, on a Private Eye’s Unnoticed Entrance)

“Neither of the two people in the room paid any attention to the way I came in, although only one of them was dead.”―American mystery writer Raymond Chandler (1888-1959), The Big Sleep (1939)

(The image accompanying this post is from the 1946 adaptation of The Big Sleep, with Humphrey Bogart in a definitive performance as Chandler’s wisecracking private eye, Philip Marlowe.)
