The only point in the case which deserved mention was the curious analytical reasoning from effects to causes, by which I succeeded in unravelling it.'' —Sherlock Holmes on John Watson's "pamphlet", "A Study in Scarlet".”

I gawped at the mutilated corpse of a naked young girl lying on a blood-soaked double bed. Her hands were bound to the brass headboard with duct tape. Blood covered her upper body, and her long blonde hair was streaked a murderous shade of red. One eye stared at the ceiling as if searching for salvation, the other, a bloody unrecognisable pulp, bore no relation to its sightless counterpart.

He may ordinarily have met his sigh with the question of why the newly appointed Superintendent Dickinson was turning up to this late hour crime scene, he may also ordinarily question why his superior officer was dressed as Julius Caesar, in full tunic and green leafy wreath, yet ever since the new and youngest-ever-appointed superintendent had arrived at the Met it had been all too clear he was an officer who didn’t quite do things by the eBook.”

“Deter mulig at andre er helt klar over dette og har forsonet seg med det, men for meg ble det plutselig så tydelig at det alltid er natt og alltid dag og alltid morgen og kveld og alltid blir noen født mens andre dør og noen ligger med hverandre og noen ler og andre gråter og noen venter på ting eller arbeider. Alltid. Og i dag akkurat som i går og akkurat som en hvilken som helst annen dag i et hvilket som helst annet år. Og hvis jeg bryter det ned til mindre deler og tenker små øyeblikk, blir det svimlende, for da tenker jeg at akkurat nå, mens jeg ligger her og ser gjennom rommet og mot verandadøren som står på gløtt og solen som kommer inn i rommet, så opplever andre sine livs verste øyeblikk, noen er livredde og kommer til å bli drept på fryktelig vis i neste sekund, det vil si nå, eller nå, mens andre opplever fine ting og tar imot et lite barn eller blir strøket nedover ryggen av en de i går ikke trodde ville gjengjelde de sterke følelsene, og atter andre, sikkert de fleste, gjør ting som de i morgen på denne tiden vil ha problemer med å huske fordi det de gjorde ikke utgjør noen forskjell, men bare føyer seg inn i rekken av ting som vi hele tiden gjør og må gjøre.
Idag er alle dager. Og alle øyeblikk er nå.”

Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.”
