More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
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
It has always seemed to me that so long as you produce your dramatic effect, accuracy of detail matters little. I have never striven for it and I have made some bad mistakes in consequence. What matter if I hold my readers?
Arthur Conan Doyle
He spoke wistfully of a sudden leaving, a breaking of old ties, a flight into a strange world, ending in this dreary valley, and Ettie listened, her dark eyes gleaming with pity and with sympathy - those two qualities which may turn so rapidly and so naturally to love.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Oh how I've missed you, Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The goose we retained until this morning, when there were signs that, in spite of the slight frost, it would be well that it should be eaten without delay. Its finder has carried it off therefore to fulfil the ultimate destiny of a goose.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when [Holmes] became a specialist in crime.
Arthur Conan Doyle
To all the world he was the man of violence, half animal and half demon but to her he always remained the little wilful boy of her own girlhood, the child who had clung to her hand. Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.
Arthur Conan Doyle
...while the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I never guess. It is a shocking habit destructive to the logical faculty.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The husband was a teetotaller, there was no other woman, and the conduct complained of was that he had drifted into the habit of winding up every meal by taking out his false teeth and hurling them at his wife.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If you want to write good copy, you must be where the things are.
Arthur Conan Doyle
