More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Violence is sometimes a duty.
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
Only that I insist upon your dining with us. It will be ready in half an hour. I have oysters and a brace of grouse, with something a little choice in white wines. Watson, you have never yet recognized my merits as a housekeeper. ~ Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A trusty comrade is always of use and a chronicler still more so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing... My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.
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
The fair sex is your department.
Arthur Conan Doyle
In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You would not call me a marrying man, Watson? No, indeed! You'll be interested to hear that I'm engaged. My dear fellow! I congrat- To Milverton's housemaid. My dear Holmes! I wanted information, Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult it is to bring it home.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is more than possible it is probable.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
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
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am inclined to think -' said I. `I should do so,' Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.
Arthur Conan Doyle
