More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Ex-Professor Moriarty of mathematical celebrity... is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If I had never touched Holmes, who has tended to obscure my higher work, my position in literature would at the present moment be a more commanding one.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There's a light in a woman's eyes that speaks louder than words.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament.

It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult it is to bring it home.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A change of work is the best rest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If in 100 years I am only known as the man who invented Sherlock Holmes then I will have considered my life a failure.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a fool's plan to teach a man to be a cur in peace, and think that he will be a lion in war.
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
The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more outre' and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined, and the very point which appears to complicate a case is, when duly considered and scientifically handled, the one which is most likely to elucidate it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
