Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness.
Cyril ConnollyThe detective story itself is in a dilemma. It is a vein which is in danger of being worked out, the demand is constant, the powers of supply variable, and the reader, with each one he absorbs, grows a little more sophisticated and harder to please, while the novelist, after each one he writes, becomes a little more exhausted.
