More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
He seems to have declared war on the King’s English as well as on the English king.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You wish to put me in the dark. I tell you that I will never be put in the dark. You wish to beat me. I tell you that you will never beat me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is not that I think or believe, but that I know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
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
It is quite a three-pipe problem.
Arthur Conan Doyle
…but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
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
Ex-Professor Moriarty of mathematical celebrity... is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is horrible, yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame.
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
Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.
Arthur Conan Doyle
All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
