More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.
Arthur Conan Doyle
He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I suppose I shall have to compound a felony as usual.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Why should people ever take credit for charity when they must know that they cannot gain as much pleasure out of their guineas in any other fashion?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Oh how I've missed you, Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No violence, gentlemen — no violence, I beg of you! Consider the furniture!
Arthur Conan Doyle
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is horrible, yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am engaged in answering that Italian buffoon, Mazotti, whose views upon the larval development of the tropical termites have excited my derision and contempt . . .
Arthur Conan Doyle
The grand thing is to be able to reason backwards.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
Holy Men! Holy Cabbages! Holy Bean Pods! What do they do but live and suck in sustenance and grow fat?
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My dear Watson, said [Sherlock Holmes], I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers.
Arthur Conan Doyle
