Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“We lay there without moving. But under us all moved, and moved us, gently, up and down, and from side to side.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
