Arthur Conan Doyle
My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle

The whole force of the State is at your back if you should need it. I'm afraid that all the queen's horses and all the queen's men cannot avail in this matter.
Arthur Conan Doyle
