Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The most difficult crime to track is the one which is purposeless.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The great bell of Beaulieu was ringing. Far away through the forest might be heard its musical clangor and swell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I wanted to end the world but,I'll settle for ending yours.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
