Noir is filled with these wonderful quotes. You may like the more brutish stylings of Mickey Spillane, or the more stylish Dashiell Hammett. The director of Brick was highly influenced by Hammett.
And I really liked Brick.
Fav noir descriptor: “She had a body like a cloverleaf freeway — built for speed with all the right curves.”
