"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." ― Arthur Conan Doyle Topic(s): Wisdom More 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." "Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones." "My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation."

It usually overtakes common sense."― Julian Casablancas
