“Are you conscious of the restful influence which the stars exert? To me they are the most soothing things in Nature. I am proud to say that I don't know the name of one of them. The glamour and romance would pass away from them if they were all classified and ticketed in one's brain. But when a man is hot and flurried, and full of his own little ruffled dignities and infinitesimal misfortunes, then a star bath is the finest thing in the world.” IfsKnowsMenWorldLittlesRomanceNamesStarsBrainInfluenceProudConsciousDignityHotMisfortunesFinestBathsGlamourPassing AwaySoothingRestful Book:Delphi Complete Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Illustrated)

“It is natural that a man should consider the work of his hands or his brain to be useful and important.
