More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
I have mastered the principles of several religions. They have all shocked me by the violence which I should have to do to my reason to accept the dogmas of any one of them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When once your point of view is changed, the very thing which was so damning becomes a clue to the truth.
Arthur Conan Doyle
What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instinct of beasts.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The whole force of the State is at your back if you should need it. I'm afraid that all the queen's horses and all the queen's men cannot avail in this matter.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You know my methods. Apply them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is a mystery about this which stimulates the imagination where there is no imagination there is no horror.
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

Arthur Conan Doyle
The chief proof of man's real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
You cannot see the lettuce and the dressing without suspecting a salad.
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
I had ... come to an entirely erroneous conclusion, which shows, my dear Watson, how dangerous it always is to reason from insufficient data.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My dear Watson, said [Sherlock Holmes], I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A trusty comrade is always of use and a chronicler still more so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of daily life.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony.
