"To a great mind nothing is little"
I like that quote! It's a good approach to life Doyle must have been wise, in some regards. And I like how he uses "great"... I'm not sure how the distinction is in english language, but it means more than just clever, right?

I like this game! always good to know your quotes!
New one? very easy one?

I dislike being outnumbered. It.......................

Ok, another simple one, then:

Mrs. Hudson: "I don't have any morphine."
Sherlock: "THEN WHAT..............................."

The correct quote is "Then what exactly is the point of you". Have no idea how picky we should be in this thread, so I'll just accept it.

**Posted by Lilythiell** August 2, 2015 12:06 pm

Oooh, what an interesting new game !

**Posted by Whisky** August 2, 2015 12:20 pm

Well i suppose guessing is the game, so we might get things wrong. I suggest looking up in books and watching the Films is Ok, but no internet search...? :-) or what do you think?
I think it should be up to the one starting a Quote to decide if he\she accepts the ans wer :-) :-)

I just continue for now, Ok ? :-)

My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me..............

**Posted by Yitzock** August 2, 2015 3:00 pm

Give me...work.

I'm not sure that's right, but it seemed to make sense.

Yes, that's in there
It's a rather long one:
“My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.

I guess "work" still sums it up pretty nice, so please go on - your turn!

bump? :-D

**Posted by Yitzock** February 3, 2016 3:23 pm

Oh, sorry for not doing the next one. Clearly lost track of time in a major way.

I'll go now..

"It's rare for..."

(You know.) It's rare for us to sit together like this.
