Sir Walter, with his 61 years of life, although he never wrote a novel until he was over 40, had, fortunately for the world, a longer working career than most of his brethren.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I'm not a psychopath, I'm a fully functioning sociopath. Do your research.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.
Arthur Conan Doyle

The devil’s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth.
Arthur Conan Doyle

It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It is more than possible it is probable.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact. ~ Sherlock Holmes

...while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Holy Men! Holy Cabbages! Holy Bean Pods! What do they do but live and suck in sustenance and grow fat?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
While the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will be up to, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician.

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
The Press, Watson, is a most valuable institution, if you only know how to use it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
When we think how narrow and devious this path of nature is, how dimly we can trace it, for all our lamps of science, and how from the darkness which girds it round great and terrible possibilities loom ever shadowly upwards, it is a bold and a confident man who will put a limit to the strange by-oaths into which the human spirit may wander.

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.
