My most favourite quite too.

And Jeremy Brett was so pleased to be able to end the very last series with it. It took on special importance to him.

@ispofdoom Jeremy is such a wonderful, tragic character in himself.

It was not meant to be Brett's last scene as Holmes, but it turned out to be a magnificent coda for his entire run in the character, this last philosophical rumination at the end of "The Cardboard Box". Fate was kind to give Brett such a subtle yet powerful exit. Capping a portrayal of Holmes that will not be surpassed for decades to come.

and that is truly the Final Problem. THAT is sherlocks and moriartys meaning. to show that no matter how detached you are, the end of reason still catches up to you in the end. the double sided coin

[Chuichupachichi]

The purpose of misery, fear and violence? The problem to which reason, so far, has no answer?

The perpetrator of all misery, fear and violence intentionally purposes to be absolutely unreasonable...for the purpose of utter destruction to all

It defies all proper reasoning. Albeit, reason provides an answer

sorry what was the quote, its tough to get thru british ascent!!

[WeaslysWizardWeezes]

that is the exact line i thought of when we where watching the liberation of the Krakau (forgive me if i spelled that wrong) ghetto in Schindler's List in my lit as film class

[Lingonpay]

Wonderful, and to think, those where his last words as Sherlock Holmes, and what great words they are. Beautiful, thank you.

A truely fantastic scene and my favourite quote from Conan Doyle. Thank you. Jeremy Brett portrays Holmes with such depth and humanity its simply mesmerising. A true inspiration and a fine actor. R.I.P.

"I remember the last time we danced together...She was wearing silver, and looking absolutely supreme - delicate, fragile - But we danced for the last time there, and I lost her...Her light will not come again, believe you me."

-Jeremy Brett reflecting on his wife, Joan Wilsons, death.
