From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-11-16:
"There are no vital and significant forms of art; there is only art, and precious little of that. The growth of populations has in no way increased the amount; it has merely increased the adeptness with which substitutes can be produced and packaged." -- Raymond Chandler, writer, in the essay The Simple Art Of Murder.(submitted to the mailing list by Terry Labach)
