William Shakespeare
“Something wicked this way comes”
Shakespeare, Macbeth

Arthur Conan Doyle
“Dr. Watson's summary list of Sherlock Holmes's strengths and weaknesses:

"1. Knowledge of Literature: Nil.
2. Knowledge of Philosophy: Nil.
3. Knowledge of Astronomy: Nil.
4. Knowledge of Politics: Feeble.
5. Knowledge of Botany: Variable. Well up in belladonna, opium, and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening.
6. Knowledge of Geology: Practical but limited. Tells at a glance different soils from each other. After walks has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their colour and consistence in what part of London he had received them.
7. Knowledge of Chemistry: Profound.
8. Knowledge of Anatomy: Accurate but unsystematic.
9. Knowledge of Sensational Literature: Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century.
10. Plays the violin well.
11. Is an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman.
12. Has a good practical knowledge of British law.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

James Ellroy
“Tell me anything.
Tell me everything.
Revoke our time apart.
Love me fierce in danger.”
James Ellroy, White Jazz

Dan    Brown
“Nothing is hidden that will not be made known; nothing is secret that will not come to light.”
Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol

Agatha Christie
“Best of an island is once you get there - you can't go any farther...you've come to the end of things...”
Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None
