alireza93 's review for:
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
by Arthur Conan Doyle
* “Watson, you can see everything. You fail, however, to reason from what you see.”
* “Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.”
* “when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
* “It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
* “To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen.... And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.”
