->I swear I’m not just saying this over bitterness over [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial my own botched attempt to get an academic PhD]], honest: I find it really pretentious when people who have non-medical doctorates go around calling themselves 'doctor.'

->''"There's no scientific consensus that ''life'' is important!"''

->''"He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty. At the age of twenty-one he wrote a treatise upon the binomial theorem which has had a European vogue. On the strength of it, he won the mathematical chair at one of our smaller universities, and had, to all appearances, [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood a most brilliant career before him]]. But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which, instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers. Dark rumours gathered round him in the University town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his chair and come down to London... He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organiser of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city."''
