“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)

“Here is the mistake of the cut-and-dried man of culture. He goes about with the secret of having learned to appreciate the "grandstyle." He has lived in Homer till he can recall the roll of that many-sounding sea. He has pored over the lofty and pictorial thought of Plato till he begins to pique himself upon its grandeur. His fancy has been fed on the quaint old-world genius of Herodotus, his judgment on the melancholy wisdom of Tacitus and the complacent cynicism of Gibbon--and of all this he is conscious and proud.” MenWorldHas BeensCultureSecretMistakeCuttingSeaProudGeniusJudgmentConsciousAppreciateFancyFedsMelancholyCynicismRecallsPlatoGrandeurLoftyComplacentOld WorldQuaintPictorialPique Author:Richard Holt Hutton
