Let us hear the suspicions. I will look after the proofs.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
We surely know by some nameless instinct more about our futures than we think we know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The sky was of the deepest blue, with a few white, fleecy clouds drifting lazily across it, and the air was filled with the low drone of insects or with a sudden sharper note as bee or bluefly shot past with its quivering, long-drawn hum, like an insect tuning-fork.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when [Holmes] became a specialist in crime.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
You know my methods. Apply them.
Arthur Conan Doyle

The fair sex is your department.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
When people bury treasure nowadays they do it in the Post-Office bank.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca. (The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The most difficult crime to track is the one which is purposeless.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber-room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
That which is clearly known hath less terror than that which is but hinted at and guessed.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
And once again Mr. Sherlock Holmes is free to devote his life to examining those interesting little problems which the complexity of human life so pletifuly presents.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
He spoke wistfully of a sudden leaving, a breaking of old ties, a flight into a strange world, ending in this dreary valley, and Ettie listened, her dark eyes gleaming with pity and with sympathy - those two qualities which may turn so rapidly and so naturally to love.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
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
Image
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing... My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System.

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
