Sherlock Holmes QuotationsAnd that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honorable title of the woman. — From “A Scandal in Bohemia” <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SherlockHolmes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations“We have him, Watson, we have him, and I dare swear that before tomorrow night he will be fluttering in our net as helpless as one of his own butterflies. A pin, a cork, and a card, and we add him to the Baker Street collection!” He burst into one of his rare fits of laughter as he turned away from the picture.

Sherlock Holmes Quotations“You may place considerable confidence in Mr. Holmes, sir,” said the police agent loftily. “He has his own little methods, which are, if he won't mind my saying so, just a little too theoretical and fantastic, but he has the makings of a detective in him. It is not too much to say that once or twice, as in that business of the Sholto murder and the Agra treasure, he has been more nearly correct than the official force.” — Peter Jones, in “The Red Headed League” <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SherlockHolmes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a>

Sherlock Holmes Quotations“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact,” he answered, laughing. “Besides, we may chance to hit upon some other obvious facts which may have been by no means obvious to Mr. Lestrade. You know me too well to think that I am boasting when I say that I shall either confirm or destroy his theory by means which he is quite incapable of employing, or even of understanding.” — Sherlock Holmes, in “The Boscombe Valley Mystery” <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SherlockHolmes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a>

Sherlock Holmes QuotationsAll day the wind had screamed and the rain had beaten against the windows, so that even here in the heart of great, hand-made London we were forced to raise our minds for the instant from the routine of life and to recognize the presence of those great elemental forces which shriek at mankind through the bars of his civilization, like untamed beasts in a cage. — From “The Five Orange Pips” <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SherlockHolmes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SherlockHolmes</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mystery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a>
