More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of daily life.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is the small men and not the great who hold their noses in the air.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I could not rest, Watson, I could not sit quiet in my chair, if I thought that such a man as Professor Moriarty were walking the streets of London unchallenged.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand. If there is not some compensation hereafter, then the world is a cruel jest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done?
Arthur Conan Doyle
The sky was of the deepest blue, with a few white, fleecy clouds drifting lazily across it, and the air was filled with the low drone of insects or with a sudden sharper note as bee or bluefly shot past with its quivering, long-drawn hum, like an insect tuning-fork.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
Perhaps, when a man has special knowledge and special powers like my own, it rather encourages him to seek a complex explanation when a simpler one is at hand.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you? For me, said Sherlock Holmes, there still remains the cocaine bottle.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I get in the dumps at times, and don't open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I'll soon be right.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Times is a paper which is seldom found in any hands but those of the highly educated.
Arthur Conan Doyle
And once again Mr. Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complexity of human life so pletifuly presents.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
