More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
When such men, who are beyond hope and fear, begin in their dim minds to see the source their woes, it may be an evil time for those who have wronged them. The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.
Arthur Conan Doyle
To all the world he was the man of violence, half animal and half demon but to her he always remained the little wilful boy of her own girlhood, the child who had clung to her hand. Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Now, Watson,” said Holmes, as a tall dog-cart dashed up through the gloom, throwing out two golden tunnels of yellow light from its side lanterns. “You’ll come with me, won’t you?” “If I can be of use.” “Oh, a trusty comrade is always of use and a chronicler still more so. My room at The Cedars is a double-bedded one.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I must apologize for calling so late, said he, and I must further beg you to be so unconventional as to allow me to leave your house presently by scrambling over your back garden wall.
Arthur Conan Doyle
...Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature.
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
It is a pity he did not write in pencil. As you have no doubt frequently observed, the impression usually goes through -- a fact which has dissolved many a happy marriage.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Life, it turns out, is infinitely more clever and adaptable than anyone had ever supposed.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It's a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.
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 soul is swayed by the waters.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I never guess. It is a shocking habit destructive to the logical faculty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle
He [Professor Moriarty] is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
