Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare conceive the things which are mere commonplaces of existence.

We will fly over London – the vast whirlpool where eddy the conflicting forces of good and evil.

The science of deduction or analysis is one that can only be acquired by patient study.

The height of a man can be told by the lenght of his stride.

Please don't think me impertinent, but I know that revenge will only embitter your own life and in no way lessen the wrong that has been done.
