“One must wait till it comes.”

We balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination.

There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.

There’s a light in a woman’s eyes that speaks louder than words.

Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.

When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

I wanted to end the world, but I’ll settle for ending yours.

It’s every man’s business to see justice done.

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.

I never can resist a touch of the dramatic.

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

We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere common places of existence.

A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.

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

For me, the pleasure of writing comes with inventing stories.

I’ve heard tell that what you imagine sometimes comes true.

I generally think if you do good things for people in the world, that comes back and you benefit from it over time.

You have to have trust in someone you’re working with; otherwise, you’re not gonna come out with something that’s really you.

Failure comes part and parcel with invention. It’s not optional.

It may feel like God has forgotten about you, but your time is coming.
