Best 10 quotes of Graham Moore on MyQuotes

Amazing, really, to think of what a man could achieve with the simple ability to put pen to paper and spin a decent yarn.

I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she doesn't fit in anywhere. You do. Stay weird. Stay different, and then when it's your turn and you are standing on this stage please pass the same message along.

I think I love the idea that problems have solutions. I think that‘s the appeal of mystery stories, whether they‘re Holmes or someone else. In those stories we live in an understandable world.

If you told stories from Holmes's perspective, everyone would know what the bleeding genius was thinking the whole time. They'd have the culprit fingered on page one.
