There was no other possible way to look at it. There are things that are facts, in a statistical sense, on paper, on a tape recorder, in evidence. And there are things that are facts because they have to be facts, because nothing makes any sense otherwise.
- Raymond Chandler, Playback, p.847-48 in Later Novels & Other Writings
