More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Perhaps, when a man has special knowledge and special powers like my own, it rather encourages him to seek a complex explanation when a simpler one is at hand.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The approach to the offices of Girdlestone and Co. was not a very dignified one, nor would the uninitiated who traversed it form any conception of the commercial prosperity of the firm in question.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again.
Arthur Conan Doyle
He foresaw that she would be very much more useful to him in the character of a free woman.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We surely know by some nameless instinct more about our futures than we think we know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is more than possible it is probable.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a pity he did not write in pencil. As you have no doubt frequently observed, the impression usually goes through -- a fact which has dissolved many a happy marriage.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If in 100 years I am only known as the man who invented Sherlock Holmes then I will have considered my life a failure.
Arthur Conan Doyle
While the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will be up to, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Ex-Professor Moriarty of mathematical celebrity... is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is horrible, yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It seems very strange ... that in the course of the world's history so obvious an improvement should never have been adopted. ... The next generation of Britishers would be the better for having had this extra hour of daylight in their childhood.
Arthur Conan Doyle
