More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
I think that I had better go, Holmes. Not a bit, doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The devil’s agents may be of flesh and blood, may they not?
Arthur Conan Doyle
His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It is with nations as it is with individuals. A book of history is a book of sermons.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
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
There seems to me to be absolutely no limit to the inanity and credulity of the human race. Homo Sapiens! Homo idioticus!
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
It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am inclined to think -' said I. `I should do so,' Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Let us hear the suspicions. I will look after the proofs.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more outre' and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined, and the very point which appears to complicate a case is, when duly considered and scientifically handled, the one which is most likely to elucidate it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
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
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Arthur Conan Doyle
His love of danger, his intense appreciation of the drama of an adventure--all the more intense for being held tightly in--his consistent view that every peril in life is a form of sport, a fierce game betwixt you and Fate, with Death as a forfeit, made him a wonderful companion at such hours.
Arthur Conan Doyle
