Quote

In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon.

It is more than possible it is probable.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
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
Image
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing... My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System.

Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Man, or at least criminal man, has lost all enterprise and originality. As to my own little practice, it seems to be degenerating into an agency for recovering lost lead pencils and giving advice to young ladies from boarding-schools.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Critics kind never mind! Critics flatter no matter! Critics blame all the same! Do your best damn the rest!
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
We must look for consistency. Where there is a want of it we must suspect deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
It is a mistake to confound strangeness with mystery.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
The fair sex is your department.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a link of it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
There is a mystery about this which stimulates the imagination where there is no imagination there is no horror.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Now is the dramatic moment of fate, Watson, when you hear a step upon the stair which is walking into your life, and you know not whether for good or ill.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
Just as an octopus may have his den in some ocean cave, and come floating out a silent image of horror to attack a swimmer, so I picture such a spirit lurking in the dark of the house which he curses by his presence, and ready to float out upon all whom he can injure.
Arthur Conan Doyle

A change of work is the best rest.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Image
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for

“How ever did you see that?” “Because I looked for it.”
