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
It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.
Arthur Conan Doyle
To all the world he was the man of violence, half animal and half demon but to her he always remained the little wilful boy of her own girlhood, the child who had clung to her hand. Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I should be very much obliged if you would slip your revolver into your pocket. An Eley's No. 2 is an excellent argument with gentlemen who can twist steel pokers into knots. That and a tooth-brush are, I think, all that we need.
Arthur Conan Doyle
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
Perhaps, when a man has special knowledge and special powers like my own, it rather encourages him to seek a complex explanation when a simpler one is at hand.
Arthur Conan Doyle
My mind rebels at stagnation, give me problems, give me work!
Arthur Conan Doyle
I am engaged in answering that Italian buffoon, Mazotti, whose views upon the larval development of the tropical termites have excited my derision and contempt . . .
Arthur Conan Doyle
So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Steel True, Blade Straight.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We surely know by some nameless instinct more about our futures than we think we know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
You know my methods. Apply them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A change of work is the best rest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
No violence, gentlemen — no violence, I beg of you! Consider the furniture!
Arthur Conan Doyle
The grand thing is to be able to reason backwards.
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
Picnics are very dear to those who are in the first stage of the tender passion.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. We have shared this same room for some years, and it would be amusing if we ended by sharing the same cell. (...)
Arthur Conan Doyle
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.
Arthur Conan Doyle
