Arthur Conan Doyle
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the duncoloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material?
Arthur Conan Doyle
Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.

Arthur Conan Doyle
Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You find yourself insensibly twisting them round to fit your theories.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If you want to write good copy, you must be where the things are.
Arthur Conan Doyle
