More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What a creature he was! Never have I felt such a horse between my knees. His great haunches gathered under him with every stride, and he shot forward ever faster and faster, stretched like a greyhound, while the windbeat in my face and whistled past my ears.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It seems very strange ... that in the course of the world's history so obvious an improvement should never have been adopted. ... The next generation of Britishers would be the better for having had this extra hour of daylight in their childhood.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Oh how I've missed you, Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The whole force of the State is at your back if you should need it. I'm afraid that all the queen's horses and all the queen's men cannot avail in this matter.
Arthur Conan Doyle
That which is clearly known hath less terror than that which is but hinted at and guessed.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If you want to write good copy, you must be where the things are.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
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
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
Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is with nations as it is with individuals. A book of history is a book of sermons.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
Arthur Conan Doyle
