{{examples}}

== "He who fights monsters..." ==

* Quoted word-for-word in ''[[The Dark Tower]]''.

* [[Terry Pratchett]]'s [[Discworld]]:

* ''[[Watchmen]].''

 

* The second part of the quote is used at the end of the pilot episode of ''[[Criminal Minds]]'', "Extreme Aggressor." Five seasons later, the quote is ([[Continuity Nod|deliberately]]) reused in its entirety at the beginning of the aptly named 100th episode "100."

* Referenced in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' finale, "The Parting of the Ways".

=== [[Literature]] ===

* Discussed in ''The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul''.

{{quote|"It wasn't by eliminating the impossible that you got at the truth, however improbable..."}}

 

* Data referenced this line in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Lonely Among Us". Somewhat lampshaded in that Data had just absorbed all of Doyle's [[Sherlock Holmes]] novels and was essentially channeling the famed detective.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': The kid from the Silurian two-parter of the 2010 season.

 

=== Literature ===

* Quoted in [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[IT]]'', when a character says she heard this quote from her sink during the 1957 incident.

** In fact, many of Stephen King's baddies ends up quoting that or just simply call themself Legion. Examples include [[The Stand|Randall Flagg]], [[Needful Things|Leland Gaut]], [[IT|Pennywise the Clown]], and many more. When [[The Dark Tower]] started to bind all the universes together many speculated that all these creature were in fact different aspects of one being. They were sadly [[Jossed]].
