    “Nick: "You look rather done in. Anything wrong?"
    Drew shrugged. "Not really. The world's not a fit place to live in, but unfortunately there just aren't any other viable options."
    "Cheery as always." Nick grinned. "I understand you've been up to London again. Presumably it wasn't to see the queen."
    "No, I believe Tuesdays she does the ironing and isn't at home to visitors."

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    Alex Grecian
    “Dr Kingsley was an exception, as he was not officially a member of the Metropolitan Police Force of Scotland Yard. He worked from a lab in the University College Hospital basement and had created his own position as forensic examiner simply because he felt it was necessary. Before he had taken over the police morgue, forensics work had been nearly nonexistent. Bodies had been shipped to poorly run storage facilities where they were lost or forgotten. He was a strange little man and the police gave him wide berth, but his help was invaluable and he was widely respected within the ranks of the detectives.”
    Alex Grecian, The Yard

    Alex Grecian
    “The morale of the Metropolitan Police Force had reached its lowest point during the Ripper murders of the previous year and had not yet recovered. The files of the Whitechapel murders had not been closed as the case was still ongoing, but nobody in London trusted the police to do their job.”
    Alex Grecian, The Yard

    Zaman Ali, GOVERNMENT Servant, Not Master

    Belle Blackburn
    “Never marry a man unless you can sit with him reading a book and feel perfectly comfortable. If it makes you nervous to sit quietly with him while you read, feeling like you need to entertain him or provide conversation, then this would not be the person you should spend your life with. You should feel free to just be when you are with him.”
    Belle Blackburn
