“Nun, es gibt noch etwas anderes, an das ich glaube, William. Ich glaube, was ich sehe. Aus dem Grund bin ich ein relativ reicher Mann. Vor allem aber bin ich deshalb auch ein lebendiger Mann. Die meisten Menschen glauben einfach nicht, was sie sehen.”

“The critical scene of the mystery is when the detective enters. The action shifts to Sherlock’s sitting room. The little Belgian man with the waxed moustache appears in the lobby of the grand hotel. The gentle old woman with a bag of knitting comes to visit her niece when the poison pen letters start going around the village. The private detective comes back to the office after a night of drinking and finds the woman with the cigarette and the veiled hat this is when things will change.”

“with parenting there’s a long game and a short game. The aim of the short game is to make your children bearable to live with. Easy to transport. Well behaved in public places. In other words, to make your own life easier. And, yes, you can achieve that with punishments, with discipline, with a clip here and there. But the aim of the long game is to produce a good human being. And personally, I don’t believe that you need to play the short game in order to win the long game. I genuinely believe you can skip it. That it’s optional.”
