More quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply.

Arthur Conan Doyle
A study of family portraits is enough to convert a man to the theory of reincarnation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I get in the dumps at times, and don't open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I'll soon be right.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you? For me, said Sherlock Holmes, there still remains the cocaine bottle.
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
It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.
Arthur Conan Doyle
