quotes[1]="\"I would not tell them too much,\" said Holmes.  \"Women are never to be entirely trusted,--not the best of them.\" -  <I>The Sign of The Four</I>";	
quotes[2]="The old couple had come round to that tragic imitation of the dawn of life when husband and wife, having lost or scattered all those who were their intimates, find themselves face to face and alone once more, their work done, and the end nearing fast.  Those who have reached that stage in sweetness and love, who can change their winter into a gentle, Indian summer, have come as victors through the ordeal of life. -  <I>The Brown Hand</I>";	
quotes[3]="There was a lady at Santarem--but my lips are sealed.  It is the part of a gallant man to say nothing, though he may indicate that he could say a great deal. -  <I>The Crime of The Brigadier</I>";	
quotes[4]="\"But love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things.  I should never marry myself, lest I bias my judgment.\" -  <I>The Sign of The Four</I>";	
quotes[5]="\"Love has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces. When the atom of hydrogen draws the atom of chlorine towards it to form the perfected molecule of hydrochloric acid, the force which it exerts may be intrinsically similar to that which draws me to you.  Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction.\" -  <I>A Physiologist's Wife</I>";	
quotes[6]="Miss Morstan and I stood together, and her hand was in mine.  A wondrous subtle thing is love, for here were we two who had never seen each other before that day, between whom no word or even look of affection had ever passed, and yet now in an hour of trouble our hands instinctively sought for each other.  I have marvelled at it since, but at the time it seemed the most natural thing that I should go out to her so, and, as she has often told me, there was in her also the instinct to turn to me for comfort and protection.  So we stood hand in hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us. -  <I>The Sign of The Four</I>";	
quotes[7]="You know how easily and suddenly these things happen, beginning in playful teasing and ending in something a little warmer than friendship.  You squeeze the slender arm which is passed through yours, you venture to take the little gloved hand, you say good night at absurd length in the shadow of the door.  It is innocent and very interesting, love trying his wings in a first little flutter.  -  <I>The Stark Munro Letters</I>";	
quotes[8]="\"You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought.\"   -  <I>The White Company</I>";	
quotes[9]="I did not know the woman soul, that crowning gift of Providence to man, which, if we do not ourselves degrade it, will set an  edge to all that is good in us.  I did not know how the love of a woman will tinge a man's whole life and every action with unselfishness.  I did not know how easy it is to be noble when some one else takes it for granted that one will be so; or how wide and interesting life becomes when viewed by four eyes instead of two. -  <I>The Stark Munro Letters</I>";	
quotes[10]="\"Hot hate is twin brother to hot love.\" -  <I>Sir Nigel</I>";	
quotes[11]="\"Exactly.  She does not shine as a wife even in her own account of what occurred.  I am not a whole-souled admirer of womankind, as you are aware, Watson, but my experience of life has taught me that there are few wives having any regard for their husbands who would let any man's spoken word stand between them and that husband's dead body.  Should I ever marry, Watson, I should hope to inspire my wife with some feeling which would prevent her from being walked off by a housekeeper when my corpse was lying within a few yards of her.\"  -  <I>The Valley of Fear</I>";	
quotes[12]="My instincts are all against a woman being too frank and at her ease with me.  It is no compliment to a man.  Where the real sex feeling begins, timidity and distrust are its companions, heritage from old wicked days when love and violence went often hand in hand.  -  <I>The Lost World</I>";	
quotes[13]="\"It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man.\" -  <I>The Adventure of the Abbey Grange</I>";	
quotes[14]="To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. -  <I>A Scandal in Bohemia</I>";	
quotes[15]="We all sat in silence for some minutes while those fateful eyes still strained to pierce the veil. -  <I>The Valley of Fear</I>";	
quotes[16]="We are, in truth, as far from any human aid as if we were in the moon.  If we are to win through, it is only our own qualities which can save us.  I have as companions three remarkable men, men of great brain-power and of unshaken courage.  There lies our one and only hope. -  <I>The Lost World</I>";	
quotes[17]="The rough-and-tumble work in Afghanistan, coming on the top of natural Bohemianism of disposition, has made me rather more lax than befits a medical man.  But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs.  I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an armchair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it.  -  <I>The Musgrave Ritual </I>";	
quotes[18]="\"Holmes!\" I cried.  \"Is it really you?  Can it indeed be that you are alive?  Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?\"  -  <I>The Adventure of the Empty House</I>";	
quotes[19]="\"Well, I'm a bacteriologist, you know.  I live in a nine-hundred-diameter microscope.  I can hardly claim to take serious notice of anything that I can see with my naked eye.\" -  <I>The Lost World</I>";	
quotes[20]=" All else in the man, his noble proportions, his fine features, and his frank bearing, fitted in with that jovial, man-to-man manner which he affected. Here, one would say, is a bluff, honest fellow, whose heart would be sound however rude his outspoken words might seem. It was only when those dead, dark eyes, deep and remorseless, were turned upon a man that he shrank within himself, feeling that he was face to face with an infinite possibility of latent evil, with a strength and courage and cunning behind it which made it a thousand times more deadly.  -  <I>The Valley of Fear</I>";	
quotes[21]="Yet it was there, in that steam of death, in that reek of corruption, that the brighter and freer England was born.  There in that dark hour the first streak of the new dawn was seen.  For in no way save but a great upheaval and change could the nation break away from that iron feudal system which held her limbs. -  <I>Sir Nigel</I>";	
quotes[22]="\"It was not a pleasant business, Watson.  The fall roared beneath me.  I am not a fanciful person, but I give you my word that I seemed to hear Moriarty's voice screaming at me out of the abyss.\"  -  <I>The Adventure of the Empty House</I>";	
quotes[23]="\"Then, with your permission, we will leave it at that, Mr. Mac.  The temptation to form premature theories upon insufficient data is the bane of our profession.\"  -  <I>The Valley of Fear</I>";	
quotes[24]="In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life.  Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. -  <I>Sir Nigel</I>";	
quotes[25]="It was indeed like old times when, at that hour, I found myself seated beside him in a hansom, my revolver in my pocket, and the thrill of adventure in my heart.  Holmes was cold and stern and silent.  As the gleam of the street-lamps flashed upon his austere features, I saw that his brows were drawn down in thought and his thin lips compressed.  I knew not what wild beast we were about to hunt down in the dark jungle of criminal London, but I was well assured, from the bearing of this master huntsman, that the adventure was a most grave one  . . .  -  <I>The Adventure of the Empty House</I>";	
quotes[26]="\"By a man's finger-nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt cuffs -- by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent inquirer in any case is almost  inconceivable.\" -  <I>A Study in Scarlet</I>";	
quotes[27]="\"Can a husband ever carry about a secret all his life and a woman who loves him have no suspicion of it?  I knew it by his refusal to talk about some episodes in his American life.  I knew it by certain precautions he took. I knew it by certain words he let fall.  I knew it by the way he looked at unexpected strangers.\"  -  <I>The Valley of Fear</I>";	
quotes[28]="Dame Ermyntrude Loring, wife, and mother of warriors, was herself a formidable figure.  Tall and gaunt, with hard craggy features and intolerant dark eyes, even her snow-white hair and stooping back could not entirely remove the sense of fear which she inspired in those around her.  Her thoughts and memories went back to harsher times, and she looked upon the England around her as a degenerate and effeminate land which had fallen away for the old standard of knightly courtesy and valor. -  <I>Sir Nigel</I>";	
quotes[29]="\"It is a fool's plan to teach a man to be a cur in peace, and think that he will be a lion in war.\" -  <I>The White Company</I>";	
quotes[30]="Still, I have no love for the cloth.  Just as cotton, which is in itself the most harmless substance in the world, becomes dangerous on being dipped into nitric acid, so the mildest of mortals is to be feared if he is once soaked in sectarian religion. -  <I>The Stark Munro Letters</I>";	
quotes[31]="\"It is a fool's plan to teach a man to be a cur in peace, and think that he will be a lion in war.\" -  <I>The White Company</I>";
