James Lovegrove
“An addict of any kind is always on the lookout for newer, more intense experiences. After a time he builds up an immunity to the rush of sensation he receives from his addiction. He seeks greater heights, higher stakes.”
James Lovegrove, Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows

Adrian Tchaikovsky
“And now Kevin is gone, too, and the department decays in a hundred subtle ways without his constant attention, and despite everything I saw that night, despite everything that I know, about him, about the world, I would welcome him back, if I saw him again.”
Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Private Life of Elder Things

James Lovegrove
“Cynicism is simply realism with a veneer of irony.”
James Lovegrove, Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows

Michael Reaves
“We can never know everything,” Holmes said, “but I fear that everything knows us.”
Michael Reaves, Shadows Over Baker Street

Edna St. Vincent Millay
“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
Edna St. Vincent Millay, A Few Figs from Thistles
