There are no vital and significant forms of art; there is only art, and precious little of that.
Raymond ChandlerTelevision is just one more facet of that considerable segment of our society that never had any standard but the soft buck.
Raymond ChandlerThe most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.
