By George!' cried the inspector. 'How did you ever see that?' Because I looked for it.

The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.

You have been in Afghanistan I perceive.

Three quiet days. This hell fiend is like a cat with a mouse. She lets me loose only to pounce upon me again. I am never so frightened as when every thing is still.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

In shape they were like horrib...

In shape they were like horrible toads, and moved in a succession of springs, but in size they were of an incredible bulk, larger than the largest elephant. We had never before seen them save at night, and indeed they are nocturnal animals save when disturbed in their lairs, as these had been. We now stood amazed at the sight, for their blotched and warty skins were of a curious fish-like iridescence, and the sunlight struck them with an ever-varying rainbow bloom as they moved.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

To all the world he was the ma...

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.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

A hound it was, an enormous co...

A hound it was, an enormous coal-black hound, but not such a hound as mortal eyes have ever seen. Fire burst from its open mouth, its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare, its muzzle and hackles and dewlap were outlined in flickering flame. Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog.

There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

So swift, silent and furtive were his movements like those of a trained bloodhound picking out a scent, that I could not but think what a terrible criminal he would have made had he turned his energy and sagacity against the law instead of exerting them in its defense. -Dr. Watson, The Sign of the Four

I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.

I am a brain, Watson. The rest of me is a mere appendix.

The highest morality may prove also to be the highest wisdom when the half-told story comes to be finished.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

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 469 quotes

It has always seemed to me that so long as you produce your dramatic effect, accuracy of detail matters little. I have never striven for it and I have made some bad mistakes in consequence. What matter if I hold my readers?

How sweet the morning air is! ...How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!

Steel True, Blade Straight *In 1955, Doyle's family sold Windlesham, which was turned into a hotel. The bodies of Conan Doyle and his wife, Jean, were moved to a grave at Minstead Churchyard, Hampshire.

...it was a huge creature, luminous, ghastly, and spectral. I have cross-examined these men, one of them a hard-headed countryman, one a farrier, and one a moorland farmer, who all tell the same story of this dreadful apparition, exactly corresponding to the hell-hound of the legend. I assure you that there is a reign of terror in the district, and that it is a hardy man who will cross the moor at night.

Arthur Conan Doyle 469 quotes

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.

You see, but you do not observe.

Every man finds his limitations, Mr. Holmes, but at least it cures us of the weakness of self-satisfaction.
