And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.

Emma Goldman

Gee, I suppose you must do a lot of drugs. Neil Gaiman

Hammett was the ace performer... He is said to have lacked heart; yet the story he himself thought the most of [The Glass Key] is the record of a man's devotion to a friend.
