Hammett Played

Famous quotes containing the words hammett and/or played:

    When a man’s partner is killed he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner, and you’re supposed to do something about it.
    —Dashiell Hammett (1894–1961)

    High on a throne of his own labors reared.
    At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
    Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
    His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
    And lambent dullness played around his face.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
