Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes

"Tut! tut!" cried Sherlock Holmes. "You must act, man, or you are lost. Nothing but energy can save you. This is no time for despair." ~ The Five Orange Pips by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle All day the wind had screamed and the rain had beaten against the windows, so that even here in the heart of great, hand-made London we were forced to raise our minds for the instant from the routine of life and to recognise the presence of those great elemental forces which shriek at mankind through the bars of his civilisation, like untamed beasts in a cage. ~ The Five Orange Pips by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "There is nothing more to be said or to be done to-night, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellow men." ~ The Five Orange Pips by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. ~ A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. ~ A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. ~ A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so. ~ A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle His knowledge was greater than his wisdom, and his powers were far superior to his character. ~ The Leather Funnel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "The charlatan is always the pioneer. From the astrologer came the astronomer, from the alchemist the chemist, from the mesmerist the experimental psychologist. The quack of yesterday is the professor of tomorrow." ~ The Leather Funnel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem. ~ The Captain of the Polestar by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
