"I am a writer Mr. Marlowe, and that is my job -- to be a lightning rod for ideas. To try them on the way people try on winter coats. If I didn't, I would be terrible at what I did. And a coward."
As said by a fictional version of Bertolt Brecht to Phillip Marlowe from "In The Jungle of Cities."
"In The Jungle..." is a short story by Roger L. Simon from the anthology "Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe."

Gifted,
I agree, though many are sticklers for credit and I understand that.
