More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Nature is the true revelation of the Deity to man. The nearest green field is the inspired page from which you may read all that it is needful for you to know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?' To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.' The dog did nothing in the night-time.' That was the curious incident,' remarked Sherlock Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No violence, gentlemen — no violence, I beg of you! Consider the furniture!
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. We have shared this same room for some years, and it would be amusing if we ended by sharing the same cell. (...)
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
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The devil’s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Was it hardness, was it selfishness, that she should ask me to risk my life for her own glorification? Such thoughts may come to middle age but never to ardent three-and-twenty in the fever of his first love.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I wanted to end the world but,I'll settle for ending yours.
Arthur Conan Doyle
