Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes

I’m not a psychopath, I’m a fully functioning sociopath. Do your research Picture Quote #1

There is a mystery about this which stimulates the imagination; where there is no imagination there is no horror Picture Quote #1

He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone Picture Quote #1

A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament Picture Quote #1

As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be Picture Quote #1

For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain Picture Quote #1

It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull Picture Quote #1

He burst into one of his rare fits of laughter as he turned away from the picture. I have not heard him laugh often, and it has always boded ill to somebody Picture Quote #1

When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking Picture Quote #1

No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so Picture Quote #1

The chief proof of man’s real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness Picture Quote #1

To underestimate oneself is as much an exaggeration of one’s powers than the other Picture Quote #1

That which is clearly known hath less terror than that which is but hinted at and guessed Picture Quote #1

There is no satisfaction in vengeance unless the offender has time to realize who it is that strikes him, and why retribution has come upon him Picture Quote #1

A man always finds it hard to realize that he may have finally lost a woman’s love, however badly he may have treated her Picture Quote #1

To let the brain work without sufficient material is like racing an engine. It racks itself to pieces Picture Quote #1

It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

There was a brisk northern wind, heavy and wet with the salt of the sea, and he felt, as he turned his face to it, fresh life and strength surging in his blood and bracing his limbs Picture Quote #1

It is the sweetest spring within the memory of man. So green, so mild, so beautiful! Ah, what a contrast between nature without and my own soul so torn with doubt and terror! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Skill is fine, and genius is splendid, but the right contacts are more valuable than either Picture Quote #1

The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair Picture Quote #1

Still, it is an error to argue in front of your data. You can find yourself insensibly twisting them round to suit your theories Picture Quote #1

The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult it is to bring it home Picture Quote #1

Problems may be solved in the study which have baffled all those who have sought a solution by the aid of their senses. To carry the art, however, to its highest pitch, it is necessary that the reasoner should be able to use all the facts which have come to his knowledge; and this in itself implies, as you will readily see, a possession of all knowledge, which, even in these days of free education and encyclopaedias, is a somewhat rare accomplishment Picture Quote #1

Living, as I do, in an educated and scientific atmosphere, I could not have conceived that the first principles of zoology were so little known. Is it possible that you do not know the elementary fact in comparative anatomy, that the wing of a bird is really the forearm, while the wing of a bat consists of three elongated fingers with membranes between? Picture Quote #1

Love has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces. When the atom of hydrogen draws the atom of chlorine towards it to form the perfected molecule of hydrochloric acid, the force which it exerts may be intrinsically similar to that which draws me to you. Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction Picture Quote #1

He had never seen a woman doctor before, and his whole conservative soul rose up in revolt at the idea. He could not recall any biblical injunction that the man should remain ever the doctor and the woman the nurse, and yet he felt as if a blasphemy had been committed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
