The Poison Belt Quotes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

How wise and how merciful is that provision of nature by which his earthly anchor is usually loosened by many little imperceptible tugs, until his consciousness has drifted out of its untenable earthly harbor into the great sea beyond! ~ The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Great sorrow or great joy should bring intense hunger--not abstinence from food, as our novelists will have it." ~ The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "The true scientific mind is not to be tied down by its own conditions of time and space. It builds itself an observatory erected upon the border line of present, which separates the infinite past from the infinite future. From this sure post it makes its sallies even to the beginning and to the end of all things." ~ The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The future was with Fate. The present was our own. ~ The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
