Quote by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Singularity is almost invariably a clue. The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult is it to bring it home.

Singularity is almost invariably a clue. The more featureles

Summary

This quote suggests that "singularity," or uniqueness, is often a sign that can help solve a crime. When a crime lacks distinguishing features and appears common or ordinary, it becomes more challenging to identify the perpetrator. By contrast, cases that possess distinctive elements or are unusual in nature provide more clues and make it easier to establish responsibility. The quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing the exceptional aspects of a crime in order to successfully investigate and solve it.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.... I cannot tell if I would have done any creative work of importance in music, but I do know that I get most joy in life out of my violin.
