I haven't ever confirmed the law works this way or anything but one I've heard many times:
"Steal from one person, it's plagiarism. Steal from many, it's research."

and is not controlled by life.

“Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right.”

Here are some favorite Raymond Chandler quotes (from his novels)...
“Dead men are heavier than broken hearts.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
“I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and left the room.”
― Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely
“It seemed like a nice neighborhood to have bad habits in.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
“I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
“I belonged in Idle Valley like a pearl onion on a banana split.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
“I like smooth shiny girls, hardboiled and loaded with sin.”
― Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely
Tall, aren't you?" she said.
"I didn't mean to be."
Her eyes rounded. She was puzzled. She was thinking. I could see, even on that short acquaintance, that thinking was always going to be a bother to her.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
“Mostly I just kill time," he said, "and it dies hard.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
“I was neat, clean, shaved and sober and I didn't care who knew it.”
― Raymond Chandler
