Iskocya dogumlu, suc hikayelerinde bir cag acan ve Sherlock Holmes ve Profesor Challenger'i yaratan yazar Sir Arthur Conan Doyle'un dogum yildonumu (22 Mayis 1856)
"Sevgili dostum," dedi Sherlock Holmes, Baker Sokagi'ndaki evde atesin karsisinda otururken, ‘hayat, insan aklinin dusunebileceginden cok daha gariptir. Insan, gercekte siradan denen seyleri cogu zaman hayal bile edemez. Eger su pencereden el ele ucup, bu buyuk sehrin uzerinde dolasarak catilari hafifce kaldirip asagida olan garipliklere, sira disi tesaduflere, planlara, niyetlere ve nesilden nesile suren olaylar zincirine bakabilseydik, aslında dogasi geregi siradan ve onceden tahmin edilebilir olan insan urunu eserlerinin hepsi, yararsiz ve donuk bir hal alirdi.’ "
"My dear fellow,' said Sherlock Holmes as we sat by the fire in his house at Baker Street, 'real life is infinitely stranger than anything we could invent. We would not dare invent things, which are commonplace things of life. If we could go out of that window, fly over this great city, gently remove the roofs of houses and look at the peculiar things that are happening, the strange coincidences, the plans, and the wonderful chains of events, we would discover things much more interesting than in books."
"Ask ne hos bir sey, ikimiz o gunden once birbirimizi hic gormemistik, aramizda birbirimizi cekecek bir kelime ya da bir bakis olmamisti, ama simdi bu heyecan aninda, ellerimiz icgudusel olarak birbirini bulmustu. Buna o gunden beri hayret ediyorum, ama o gun bana dunyanin en dogal seyi gibi gelmisti."
"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."
