More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am engaged in answering that Italian buffoon, Mazotti, whose views upon the larval development of the tropical termites have excited my derision and contempt . . .
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
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you.
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
The Times is a paper which is seldom found in any hands but those of the highly educated.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The setting is a worthy one, if the devil did desire to have a hand in the affairs of men.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Picnics are very dear to those who are in the first stage of the tender passion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.
Arthur Conan Doyle
...Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I love and am loved by a better man than he.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.
Arthur Conan Doyle
