More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The future was with Fate. The present was our own.
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
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
The Times is a paper which is seldom found in any hands but those of the highly educated.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Picnics are very dear to those who are in the first stage of the tender passion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Am dining at Goldini's Restaurant, Gloucester Road, Kensington. Please come at once and join me there. Bring with you a jemmy, a dark lantern, a chisel, and a revolver. S. H. It was a nice equipment for a respectable citizen to carry through the dim, fog-draped streets.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done.
Arthur Conan Doyle
When the impossible has been eliminated, all that remains no matter how improbable is possible.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It isn't true that the laws of nature have been capriciously disturbed that snakes have talked that women have been turned into salt that rods have brought water out of rocks.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilization and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below.
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
So tomorrow we disappear into the unknown. This account I am transmitting down the river by canoe, and it may be our last word to those who are interested in our fate.
Arthur Conan Doyle
All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be 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
