More quotes by 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
When such men, who are beyond hope and fear, begin in their dim minds to see the source their woes, it may be an evil time for those who have wronged them. The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The great bell of Beaulieu was ringing. Far away through the forest might be heard its musical clangor and swell.
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
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
There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Times is a paper which is seldom found in any hands but those of the highly educated.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The approach to the offices of Girdlestone and Co. was not a very dignified one, nor would the uninitiated who traversed it form any conception of the commercial prosperity of the firm in question.
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 more than possible it is probable.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A trusty comrade is always of use and a chronicler still more so.
Arthur Conan Doyle
It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across from west to east. The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man's energy.
Arthur Conan Doyle
I should have more faith, he said I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The mighty voice of Canada will ever call to me.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Accounts are not quite settled between us, said she, with a passion that equaled my own. I can love, and I can hate. You had your choice. You chose to spurn the first now you must test the other.
Arthur Conan Doyle
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Nature is the true revelation of the Deity to man. The nearest green field is the inspired page from which you may read all that it is needful for you to know.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Several incidents in my life have convinced me of spiritual interposition - of the promptings of some beneficent force outside ourselves, which tries to help us where it can.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The soul is swayed by the waters.
Arthur Conan Doyle
