American-British novelist and screenwriter Raymond Chandler was a master of snappy patter. Many, many years ago a friend who shared my Chandler-love silkscreened a t-shirt for me that I wore until it was threadbare. It had an image of Chandler's hard-boiled private detective, Philip Marlowe, on it with the caption "Not peculiar, just uninhibited" from Farewell My Lovely.
Literary Hub has gathered together some of the most Raymond Chandler-y lines.
