More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you.
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
I love and am loved by a better man than he.
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
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for
Arthur Conan Doyle
Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca. (The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)
Arthur Conan Doyle
The grand thing is to be able to reason backwards.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle

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
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
Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are heroisms all round us waiting to be done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Man, or at least criminal man, has lost all enterprise and originality. As to my own little practice, it seems to be degenerating into an agency for recovering lost lead pencils and giving advice to young ladies from boarding-schools.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The best way of successfully acting a part is to be it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is the small men and not the great who hold their noses in the air.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When the impossible has been eliminated, all that remains no matter how improbable is possible.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Dogs don't make mistakes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
