The Raymond Chandler Papers

Raymond Chandler with a tongue-in-cheek look at the rules for marriage from a 1955 letter:

1. Ride her on a short rein and never let her think she is riding you.
2. If the coffee is lousy, don't say so. Just throw it on floor.
3. Don't let her change the arrangement of the furniture more than once a year.
4. Don't have any joint bank account unless she puts in the money.
5. In case of quarrel, remember that it is always your fault.
6. Keep her away from antique stores.
7. Never praise her girlfriends too much.
8. Above all never forget that a marriage is in one way much like a newspaper. It has to be made fresh every damn day of every damn year.

For evidence he was joking keep in mind he was married, "for thirty years, then months, and two days, she [his wife] was the light of my life my whole ambition. Anything else I did was just the fire for her to warm her hands on." He married once and was faithful till the day she died and never married again.

The Raymond Chandler Papers

On the differences between between English in Britain and English in America:

"For instance: 'I simply adore her' means 'I'd stick a knife in her back if she had a back.' 'They are absolutely and utterly precious' means 'What rubbish, but that woman never did have any taste.' 'I rather care for that' means 'Means give it to me quick.' And 'I'm impossibly in love with him' means 'He has enough money to pay for the drinks.'" - Raymond Chandler (from a 1955 letter)

The Raymond Chandler Papers

"The whole point is that the detective exists complete and entire and unchanged by anything that happens; he is, as detective, outside the story and above it, and always will be. That's why he never gets the girl, never marries, never really has any private life except insofar as he must eat and sleep and have a place to keep his clothes. His moral and intellectual force is that he gets nothing but his fee, for which if he can protect the innocent, guard the helpless, and destroy the wicked, and the fact he must do this while earning a meager living in a corrupt world is what makes him stand out." - Raymond Chandler (from a 1949 letter)
