Arthur Conan Doyle
For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Three quiet days. This hell fiend is like a cat with a mouse. She lets me loose only to pounce upon me again. I am never so frightened as when every thing is still.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle

I slipped through his grip, and he with a horrible scream kicked madly for a few seconds and clawed the air with both his hands.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is but one step from the grotesque to the horrible.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
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
There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The devil’s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Streams may spring from one source, and yet some be clear and some be foul.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I suppose I shall have to compound a felony as usual.
Arthur Conan Doyle
“How ever did you see that?” “Because I looked for it.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am inclined to think -' said I. `I should do so,' Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is horrible, yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame.
Arthur Conan Doyle
He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone.
Arthur Conan Doyle
