Holmes Quotations

On 'Dawson's Creek,' those kids were supposed to be outsider kids - you know, wrong-side-of-the-track kids, weirdo kids. And I just felt like there's no universe out there where Katie Holmes isn't the prom queen, hottest girl in school.

Whenever I go to England, I'm on pilgrimage. I walk the countryside around Eastbourne because that's where Sherlock Holmes retired.

Every Sherlock Holmes story has at least one marvelous scene.

I am seeing all the guys, like Earnie Shavers, Tex Cobb, and Larry Holmes all the time.

The world domination plan goal is that I would love Veronica Mars to become a brand like Sherlock Holmes is a brand, like Nancy Drew, in a way, is a brand. When people start listing who are the great fictional detectives, I want Veronica Mars to make that list. That would be the dream scenario.

Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.

My fans know the name Larry Holmes and that he always gave it his all.

Sherlock Holmes is a massive figure in people's minds. More massive than a lot of real historical characters - these figures have real weight. They might be just made out of words and paper, but their effect in the world can be massive, if they've got the right kind of mass, the right kind of gravity and momentum.

Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantelpiece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff.

I did a tremendous amount of research, and I was in contact with one of the Sherlock Holmes museums.

They are very difficult to beat.

Larry Johnson has already carried the load. He knows he can do it. He just doesn't have a Priest Holmes backing him up like he backed up Priest Holmes.

I stumbled on this little scene. And little by little, that scene took over my life, ... You could make a living being a blues musician. There were a lot of clubs where you could play this type of music every night. And a lot of roots rock clubs, and bands like the Holmes Brothers, Chris Whitley and Blues Traveler playing opposite sides of the street corner. And a lot of camaraderie. Nobody was thinking of record deals, so there wasn't any feeling of competition.

I was happy with the free-throw shooting tonight (17-of-21). I was especially pleased with the play of our sophomores, Derek Holmes and Anthony Manuel.

Most businesses and individuals don't need to have on their staff a Digital Sherlock Holmes but they should have plans to identify and preserve important digital evidence such as email, web transactions, PCs, PDAs and cellphones - and have a broad understanding of some of the associated legal problems such as admissibility and privacy. It is very odd that organisations have in place contingency plans for low likelihood/high impact events like fire and terrorism but nothing for common place high frequency events.

You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.

Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.

Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson.

…but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.

I suppose I shall have to compound a felony, as usual. - Sherlock Holmes

Tom Morgan with the North Carolina Forest Service got me started back in 1964. He drew up my first plan. From there, he made a lot of suggestions for me to follow. Some I did, and some I did not. Then, Bill Holmes drew up my second plan. He was with Stone Container. Somewhere in this time, I joined the Weyerhaeuser Company Tree Farm Family Program, and they gave me technical advice that was good.

Tom Cruise's pre-nup lets him keep his money, the kids and Katie Holmes.

This reminds me of the famous Sherlock Holmes mystery, where the dog that didn't bark was the key. It was what Greenspan didn't say more than what he did say that got the market excited. People were ready to hear a more upbeat reading on the economy than he gave.

Corey Holmes is just as good and equally effective. It's the situation. We'll line up and play football.

We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him.

If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.

We shot way too many (3-pointers). Even though (Michael) Holmes blocked about 10 shots, probably, we should have gotten the ball and challenged him a whole lot more -- at least pulling up for that 7-footer, but we never did that.

Without the crucial information provided by Mr. Holmes and without the phone call from Mr. Donahue, we could not have caught these suspects.

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle conceived Sherlock Holmes, why didn't he give the famous consulting detective a few more quirks: a wooden leg, say, and an Oedipus complex?

no way Holmes can win this, Mercer is going to knock him out. Look at those hooks!

There's more work to be got out of one of those little beggars than out of a dozen of the force, Holmes remarked. ""The mere sight of an official-looking person seals men's lips. These youngsters, however, go everywhere and hear everything. They are as sharp as needles, too; all they want is organization.

There's not another Priest Holmes in the National Football League. When a guy like that goes down it forces all of us to pick our level of play up.

After the Holmes game, we kind of went back to the drawing board. We really reiterated our defensive philosophy about stopping people from getting to the basket.

I loved Sherlock Holmes when I was younger. So you can imagine how excited I was to discover that Conan Doyle had helped found Portsmouth football club. When I was playing there I did some research into it. Very interesting. Did you know Dickens was born in Portsmouth?

If you have an extreme character, you need normal characters to contrast them. Sherlock Holmes certainly needed a Dr. Watson. And Pippi Longstocking, who supposedly inspired Lisbeth Salander, needed Tommy and Annika, the normal middle-class neighbors.

The beauty of it is any time someone does something within their (defensive) package, then that's going to open up other things. Maybe if they change what they do on Teddy's side, then (receiver) Anthony Gonzalez has a chance, (receiver) Santonio Holmes or whoever.

As a 15-year-old, you think a 46-year-old is too old to win. It kind of was like watching an old boxer like Muhammad Ali fighting Larry Holmes and you hope he's going to beat the guy, but you think he's going to get the (stuffing) beat out of him. You're thinking, 'I hope he wins, but I don't think he's going to do it.' And then he came out with the goods. It was unbelievable.

Every tournament we go to is a tough one. West Holmes is another. We set up our schedule a few years ago when we had stronger, more experienced teams, and we've just kept most of it. We figure we might as well let our young guys see what's out there.

In 'A Boy's Own Story' and 'Jack Holmes and His Friend,' my idea was to take someone totally different from my real self and, at the same time, to assign to him my own life trajectory.

The guy comes up and he apologized to us. We all looked at each other and said, 'Who is that?' We still don't know who it was. ... This rookie class, with Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes and others, hits it a mile.

These four golfers add quality depth to an already outstanding field. Our wonderful fans should be excited to see Holmes play in our tournament for the first time.

These guys will come in and will play hard. They can shoot the ball. They'll make us make plays which will be good for us. Hopefully, we'll be excited to play. I'm sure the Holmes boys will let their teammates know how much it means to them and how much fun they'll have playing in Allen. We'll do the same.

Holmes, I'm a 24 year old prude.

The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

There's no police like Holmes.

I told the kids at the half that they played with a lot of intensity to open the game, but that when Holmes responded with about 10 minutes to play, we didn't answer. In the second half, our intensity rose. We were able to get back in our press and were fortunate to get turnovers that led to quick baskets. And I think that took the intensity out of them.

That kind of motivation brings tears to my eyes, ... as do thoughts of Priest Holmes playing in week thirteen.

It's a revised proposal that takes into account the matters directors raised at our last meeting (with Holmes a Court).

This was the best game we've played all year. The guys understood this was a good Holmes team. Now, this team is looking forward to going to play at Northwest. They know it's a challenge, and they look forward to it. But we know we have to take it one game at a time.

There were a couple of thousand people who saw the film at Sundance without the Katie Holmes sex scene. I implore all of them to now go back and see the movie with the Katie Holmes sex scene.

They're obviously a good team and they have the two 6-7 kids with Bernard and Holmes and they have a quick backcourt. They'll probably try to pound it inside to the big guys and defensively they might press a little bit like they've done before, but hopefully, we can open it up, get up and down the court and make the big guys run a little bit.

I don't want you guys to write, "Larry Holmes fought one too many.

I don't want to put so much pressure on him right now as a young player. He will become one of the great running backs in the National Football League just like Priest Holmes did. You become that. But each time he steps on the field he adds credibility to those kinds of credentials.

If I wanted to be successful, I'd rather go against Ginn. Because Holmes is more of a receiver and Ginn is more of an athlete.

He plays the game the way it should be played and he respects the game. He's tough and he's dependable. You can count on Travis Holmes every game. Whether it be defense or effort or whatever, those kind of kids are hard to come by. When you get a few of them, you are really appreciative.

Jerry Jones and Chris Christie are probably the most important latent homosexual relationship since Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
