From the show BBC Sherlock:

I'm a fan of, "Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent." from "A Case of Identity"

and in BBC's Sherlock...
"Ha. Look at you lot. You're all so vacant. Is it nice not being me? It must be so relaxing." and...

"Sherlock Holmes: Shut up.
Lestrade: I didn't say anyth —
Sherlock Holmes: You were thinking. It's annoying."

"That's clever. Is it clever? Why is it clever?"

That's one of my favourite quotes from BBC Sherlock. LOVE that show!

[[deleted user]]

lol yeah. What's your favourite episode?

[[deleted user]]

Um A Study in Pink :) yours?

[[deleted user]]

Same. :P

[Sammy, Not a psycopath, just a high functioning sociopath.]

I like the Great Game... but A Study in Pink is really the best :)

[[deleted user]]

I don't like the Great Game at all. I hated the ending @ the pool

[Sammy, Not a psycopath, just a high functioning sociopath.]

I loved it because Moriarty was soooooo creepy and awesome. A lot of people say that he's too crazy to be convincing, but I think that just makes him even more evil-ish! I hated the cliff hanger though. And now I'm hearing Season 2 won't air in the US till May 6th 2012! Unbelievable.

I hate Moriarty. The way he talks, how he used Molly to meet Sherlock, how hes gay, everything!

[[deleted user]]

"Don't talk out loud Anderson, you lower the IQ of the whole street."

"Afghanistan or Iraq?"

"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a highly functioning sociopath. Do your research."

I liked the third one a lot, but I hated the cliff hanger. And I didn't like Moriarty his voice is....strange... :D But I still liked it all!

[[deleted user]]

:P

"Get out. I need to go to my Mind Palace"
~Sherlock BBC

Have any of you heard that quote? I like that quote :)

[Monica]

"It's a memory technique..."
"He said his is a palace!"
"Yeah he would wouldn't he"
:P

One of my favourite parts of that episode.
As well as U.M.Q.R.A ;P

I didn't like much about the third one. I hated Moriarty, I hated the cliff hanger, I hated the whole hostage thing, I guess I didn't mind it, but yeah...

[Krystal]

"Punch me in the face."
"what"
"Punch me in the face, didn't you hear me?"
"I always hear punch me in the face when you are talking but it is usually subtext."

[Alisha~Seek and ye shall find~]

Game of Shadows,

Dr. John Watson: I know you can hear me, you selfish bastard. [performs CPR on Holmes] I know you can hear me you bastard! [Watson is dragged from body by Sim, and thinks of something] His wedding gift.
Sherlock Holmes: [injected with fluid from the adrenal glands of sheep, runs into the wall of the box car] Watson, I just had the most peculiar dream. You and Mary and Gladstone and I were at a restaurant. There was a satanic pony. It had a fork in its hoove and it was laughing at me! What have you administered?
Dr. John Watson: Your wedding present.
Sherlock Holmes: Elizabeth dancing on my chest!
Dr. John Watson: Me.

[Alisha~Seek and ye shall find~]

Sherlock Holmes: Lie down with me, Watson.
Dr. John Watson: Why?
Sherlock Holmes: I insist.
Dr. John Watson: What are we doing down here?

Dr. John Watson: For what?!
Sherlock Holmes: Your window of opportunity. Make it count!

Moriarty: You're ordinary. Your're on the side of the angels.
Sherlock: Oh, I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think of one second that i am one of them.

ummmmmm let's see "He's not part of the British government, he IS the British government."

*paraphrased*

[J.]

In The Norwood Builder, Holmes remarks, when the culprit, Oldacre, plants a bit too much false evidence, that he (Oldacre) lacked "...the supreme gift of the artist, the knowledge of when to stop."

'I'm not a psychopath, I'm a highly functioning sociopath. Do your research.'

Can someone tell me in which adventure/story of Arthur Conan Doyle does this quote appear?

[Bruce]

Im pretty sure it doesn’t appear in any story. It was just written for the show Sherlock. Sherlock in the stories wasn’t a psychopath or highly functioning sociopath.

“The game is on” doesn’t appear either. Instead he says “the game is afoot.”

It does not appear in the Canon. While the word "psychopath" may date from the 1880s, the word "sociopath" was not coined until some years after Conan Doyle's death.

Det. Gregory: Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?
Holmes: To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.
Set Gregory: The dog did nothing in the night-time.
Holmes: That was the curious incident.

I could probably come up with a batch of quotes from the canon but this one from Silver Blaze is one of the most famous.
