Don Chandler Kick

Famous quotes containing the words chandler and/or kick:

    There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
