Sherlock Holmes

Anyone know this famous dectective written by Sir Arthor Coyan Doyle?

"It is a question of cubic capacity. A man with so large a brain must have something in it."
# How slow-witted I have been, and how nearly I have committed the blunder of my lifetime! (ABBE)

# My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know. (BLUE)

# The air of London is sweeter for my presence. (FINA)

# That hurts my pride, Watson. It is a petty feeling, no doubt, but it hurts my pride. (FIVE)

# I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman. (FIVE)

# I take a short cut when I can get it. (GOLD)

# What has become of any brains that God has given me? (LADY)

# My well of English seems to be permanently defiled. (LAST)

# I have taken to living by my wits. (MUSG)

# I read nothing except the criminal news and the agony column. The latter is always instructive. (NOBL)

# I am a poor man. (PRIO)

# My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. (REDH)

# Don't be hurt, my dear fellow. You know that I am quite impersonal. (RETI)

# I have a curious constitution. I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely. (SIGN)

# My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. (SIGN)

# I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? (SIGN)

# Because I made a blunder, my dear Watson - which is, I am afraid, a more common occurrence than anyone would think who only knew me through your memoirs. (SILV)

# I have a turn both for observation and for deduction. (STUD)

# I am the most incurably lazy devil that ever stood in shoe leather - that is, when the fit is on me, for I can be spry enough at times. (STUD)
