3 quotes from The Long Goodbye

  • It was a nice day. I had a brutish little dog on a chain, and I was watching him. He kept barking at the stranger. That made me feel that I was safe from him.
  • The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
  • I suppose it is a sign of a bad heart that I can’t help enjoying the sight of someone else’s calamity.
