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.

The vigour of civilised societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth while. Vigorous societies harbour a certain extravagance of objectives, so that men wander beyond the safe provision of personal gratifications. All strong interests easily become impersonal, the love of a good job well done. There is a sense of harmony about such an accomplishment, the Peace brought by something worth while. Such personal gratification arises from aim beyond personality.

I'm an independent. I'm a centrist.
