Sherlock Holmes - Sayings

“It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one’s audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect.”
“Every problem becomes very childish when once it is explained to you.”

“It is impossible at the moment of action to enter into long and complex explanations.”

“What one man can invent another can discover,”

“I fear it is too deep a case for such simple remedies.”
