Favorite Graham Moore Quotes

1. "A mystifying sensation of loneliness shook him. Arthur had been alone before, to be sure, but to be alone while surrounded by people, the one sane man in a mad place - that was loneliness." ~ Graham Moore
2. "The human mind thrills at few things so much as making connections. Discovering. Solving." ~ Graham Moore
3. "A vice is a thing which may be applauded in moderation but becomes horrific in overuse." ~ Graham Moore
4. "Paranoid theorizing was too easy, too emotionally satisfying." ~ Graham Moore
5. "Art is a social object, books and films and records and television shows, they're social objects that bring people together in conversation. I love the notion that I could write something that two people could share. That's the goal." ~ Graham Moore
6. "Let's be honest— I think one of you people did this. I think one of your giddy, delusional pals killed Cale and stole my diary. Probably for some obsessive, arcane, and pointless reason. The twisted tosser is most likely building a shrine to the thing right now, praying to it like a dusty Ganesha. I'm going to need someone who is—how shall I put this?–similarly disposed in order to get the diary back." ~ Graham Moore
7. "Pressant le pas, il atteignit l'ascenseur pratiquement au galop. Une curieuse sensation remonta de ses mollets à ses genoux. Non qu'il en eût fait l'expérience récemment mais en y réfléchissant, il se dit que cela devait s'appeler "courir"." ~ Graham Moore
8. "- "L'homme n'est rien, l'oeuvre tout". C'est là que vous voulez en venir ?- Oui. C'est de Flaubert, n'est-ce pas ?- Oui.- Et nous nous le rappelons encore.Bram rit de nouveau amèrement.- Mes histoires, dit Arthur. La science de la déduction. Le détective qui raisonne. La solution livrée fort à propos dans un dénouement satisfaisant. Tout ça, c'est des conneries.Bram sourit.- Je sais, dit-il. C'est pour cela que nous en avons besoin." ~ Graham Moore
9. "Murder was so trivial in the stories Harold loved. Dead bodies were plot points, puzzles to be reasoned out. They weren't brothers. Plot points didn't leave behind grieving sisters who couldn't find their shoes." ~ Graham Moore
10. "Amazing, really, to think of what a man could achieve with the simple ability to put pen to paper and spin a decent yarn." ~ Graham Moore
11. "Watson is a cheap, efficient little sod of a literary device. Holmes doesn't need him to solve crimes any more than he needs a ten-stone ankle weight. The audience, Arthur. The audience needs Watson as an intermediary, so that Holmes's thoughts might be forever kept just out of reach. If you told stories from Holmes's perspective, everyone would know what the bleeding genius was thinking the whole time. They'd have the culprit fingered on page one." ~ Graham Moore
12. "Gray fall light came through the nine square glass panes. On days like this, the strips of white wood that separated the glass seemed brighter to the eye than did the window light." ~ Graham Moore
13. "There is an undeniable exhilaration in moment of even the smallest discovery" ~ Graham Moore
14. "[On writing more Sherlock Holmes stories.] ‘I don't care whether you do or not,' said Bram. ‘But you will, eventually. He's yours, till death do you part. Did you really think he was dead and gone when you wrote "The Final Problem"? I don't think you did. I think you always knew he'd be back. But whenever you take up your pen and continue, heed my advice. Don't bring him here. Don't bring Sherlock Holmes into the electric light. Leave him in the mysterious and romantic flicker of the gas lamp. He won't stand next to this, do you see? The glare would melt him away. He was more the man of our time than Oscar was. Or than we were. Leave him where he belongs, in the last days of our bygone century. Because in a hundred years, no one will care about me. Or you. Or Oscar. We stopped caring about Oscar years ago, and we were his bloody *friends.* No, what they'll remember are the stories. They'll remember Holmes. And Watson. And Dorian Gray." ~ Graham Moore
15. "In the darkest corner of a darkened room, all Sherlock Homes stories begin. In the pregnant dim of gaslight and smoke, Holmes would sit, digesting the day's papers, puffing on his long pipe, injecting himself with cocaine. He would pop smoke rings into the gloom, waiting for something, anything, to pierce into the belly of his study and release the promise of adventure; of clues to interpret; of, at last he would plead, a puzzle he could not solve. And after each story he would return here, into the dark room, and die day by day of boredom. The darkness of his study was his cage, but also the womb of his genius." ~ Graham Moore
16. "Look, I get it. I'm a white, heterosexual man. It's really easy for me to say, ‘Oh, wow, wasn't the nineteenth century terrific?' But try this. Imagine the scene: It's pouring rain against a thick window. Outside, on Baker Street, the light from the gas lamps is so weak that it barely reaches the pavement. A fog swirls in the air, and the gas gives it a pale yellow glow. Mystery brews in every darkened corner, in every darkened room. And a man steps out into that dim, foggy world, and he can tell you the story of your life by the cut of your shirtsleeves. He can shine a light into the dimness, with only his intellect and his tobacco smoke to help him. Now. Tell me that's not awfully romantic?" ~ Graham Moore
17. "Arthur had never challenged a man to a duel, but in this moment he understood the magnificent reasonableness of the tradition. It was either that or slugging him outright this very second, which didn't seem nearly so gentlemanly." ~ Graham Moore
18. "Love grew commendably dependable - love was eggs, love was ham, love was the morning paper." ~ Graham Moore
19. "Arthur looked deeply into the boy's clear blue eyes and scanned the contours of his handsome face. Arthur could hear something, faintly, in the distance. A rushing sound. A crash of water against rock. He wasn't sure if it was real or not, but he heard it all the same. Torrents of water rushing over a cliff. He tuned his ears to the noise and recognized the tone. He steadied his hand and listened to the sound, from the back of his mind, of the Reichenbach Falls." ~ Graham Moore
20. "It takes a shock to the system, doesn't it, to make a man realize what good things he has." ~ Graham Moore
21. "Arthur narrowly avoided tripping over his own skirt as he hurried out of the ladies' powder room in full pursuit." ~ Graham Moore
22. "The bar was crowded with theorizing Sherlockians, who in the absence of any actual evidence had created grand machinations to explain the crime. Minor points of canonical disagreement became reasons for brutal murder. Some tried to piece together their theories in small groups, hoping that with enough brainpower and expertise they might arrive at a solution. Others jumped straight over the "investigation" phase and landed square at the end of the story they were creating, instantly accusing the man across the table of some vile treachery. And, moreover, actually employing phrases like "vile treachery" in doing so. Everyone was a suspect. But at the world's largest Sherlockian gathering, everyone was a detective as well." ~ Graham Moore
23. "Harold had become, over the past week, a connoisseur of silences. He was an expert at differentiating the particulars; was this a Tranquil Silence, marked by slow sighs and peaceful smiles? Or was it a Tired Silence, marked by ornery chair shifting? Or a Tense Silence, full of tight breaths and cautious glances?" ~ Graham Moore
