“The man might have died in a fit; but then the jewels are missing," mused the Inspector, "Ha! I have a theory. These flashes come upon me at times... What do you think of this, Holmes? Sholto was, on his own confession, with his brother last night. The brother died in a fit, on which Sholto walked off the treasure! How's that?""On which the dead man very considerately got up and locked the door on the inside," said Holmes.”

“Desultory readers are seldom remarkable for the exactness of their learning.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet“It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Naval Treaty“One likes to think that there is some fantastic limbo for the children of imagination, some strange, impossible place where the beaux of Fielding may still make love to the belles of Richardson, where Scott’s heroes still may strut, Dickens’s delightful Cockneys still raise a laugh, and Thackeray’s worldlings continue to carry on their reprehensible careers. Perhaps in some humble corner of such a Valhalla, Sherlock and his Watson may for a time find a place, while some more astute sleuth with some even less astute comrade may fill the stage which they have vacated.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
Arthur Conan Doyle“Where there is no imagination there is no horror.”
Arthur Conan Doyle“It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Arthur Conan Doyle“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?”
Arthur Conan Doyle“Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.”
Arthur Conan Doyle“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
Arthur Conan Doyle“His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge.”
