More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The most difficult crime to track is the one which is purposeless.
Arthur Conan Doyle
While the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will be up to, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I'm not a psychopath, I'm a fully functioning sociopath. Do your research.
Arthur Conan Doyle
If my future were black, it was better surely to face it like a man than to attempt to brighten it by mere will-o’-the-wisps of the imagination.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You cannot see the lettuce and the dressing without suspecting a salad.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Arthur Conan Doyle
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the duncoloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material?
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am inclined to think -' said I. `I should do so,' Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult it is to bring it home.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand. If there is not some compensation hereafter, then the world is a cruel jest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined.
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
You know my methods. Apply them.
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
No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically.
Arthur Conan Doyle
