    Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil’s pet baits. In larger and older jewels every facet may stand for a bloody deed....
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Muhammad is the Messenger of God,
    and those who are with him are hard
    against the unbelievers, merciful
    one to another. Thou seest them
    bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty
    from God and good pleasure. Their
    mark is on their faces, the trace of
    prostration....
    God has promised
    those of them who believe and do deeds
    of righteousness forgiveness and
    a mighty wage.
    Qur’An. Victory 48:35, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
