More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Image
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It isn't true that the laws of nature have been capriciously disturbed that snakes have talked that women have been turned into salt that rods have brought water out of rocks.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
So tomorrow we disappear into the unknown. This account I am transmitting down the river by canoe, and it may be our last word to those who are interested in our fate.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
You cannot see the lettuce and the dressing without suspecting a salad.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Let us hear the suspicions. I will look after the proofs.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It has always seemed to me that so long as you produce your dramatic effect, accuracy of detail matters little. I have never striven for it and I have made some bad mistakes in consequence. What matter if I hold my readers?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am a better one than you have given me credit for being.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
That which is clearly known hath less terror than that which is but hinted at and guessed.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I never guess. It is a shocking habit destructive to the logical faculty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Nature is the true revelation of the Deity to man. The nearest green field is the inspired page from which you may read all that it is needful for you to know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The Press, Watson, is a most valuable institution, if you only know how to use it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It is always a joy to meet an American, Mr. Moulton, for I am one of those who believes that the folly of a monarch and the blundering of a minister in far-gone years will not prevent our children from being some day citizens of the same world-wide country under a flag which shall be a quartering of the Union Jack with the Stars and Stripes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
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
Image
Steel True, Blade Straight.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing... My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System.
