Raymond Chandler Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: July 23, 1888 - March 26, 1959
Birthday: July 23
Death: March 26
I merely say that all reading for pleasure is escape, whether it be Greek, mathematics, astronomy, Benedetto Croce, or The Diary of the Forgotten Man. To say otherwise is to be an intellectual snob, and a juvenile at the art of living.
