“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.”

“The problem in my life and other people's lives is not the absence of knowing what to do but the absence of doing it.”

“You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?"
"For me," said Sherlock Holmes, "there still remains the cocaine bottle.”

“Most people don’t know my name and my face. There are only a few people that know my name and very few people know my face. and my parents don’t even realize who I am. They think I’m working in construction, as a ""Tiler"”

“The problem is that most people spend their lives looking but not truly seeing, or, as Sherlock Holmes, the meticulous English detective, declared to his partner, Dr. Watson, “You see, but you do not observe.”

“My business is to paint what I see, not what I know is there.”

“What other people think of me is not my business.”

“How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!”

“What is that? What is that supposed to be? It's never really casual, you always have to turn up. It's never casual unless you're both wearing Sherlock Holmes hats or something. You're covered in crisps, one of you's eating an omelette, the other one's doing a crossword, then it's kind of casual.”

“What other people think of me is none of my business. ”
