From Arthur Conan Doyle

For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.
Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.
Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.
I have frequently gained my first real insight into the character of parents by studying their children.
