“to keep believing in life, until you're sure of death, it's the way a detective should be." - Kogoro Mouri, Detective Conan”

“Of course it's very hampering being a detective, when you don't know anything about detecting, and when nobody knows that you're doing detection, and you can't have people up to cross-examine them, and you have neither the energy nor the means to make proper inquiries; and, in short, when you're doing the whole thing in a thoroughly amateur, haphazard way.”

“We could certainly use a detective. And I've got to hand it to you, Nancy - you sure can keep your head.”

“No private detective looks like a private detective. That's one of the first rules of private detection.""But if no private detective looks like a private detective, how does a private detective know what it is he's supposed not to look like? Seems to me there's a problem there.”

“You're right on the money with that. We're all like detectives in life. There's something at the end of the trail that we're all looking for. ”

“Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone's life forever.”
