Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes

The Pressure Of Public Opinion Can Do In The Town What The Law Cannot Accomplish. There Is No Lane So Vile That The Scream Of A Tortured Child, Or The Thud Of A Drunkard's Blow, Does Not Beget Sympathy And Indignation Among The Neighbours, And Then The Whole Machinery Of Justice Is Ever So Close That A Word Of Complaint Can Set It Going, And There Is But A Step Between The Crime And The Dock. But Look At These Lonely Houses, Each In Its Own Fields, Filled For The Most Part With Poor Ignorant Folk Who Know Little Of The Law. Think Of The Deeds Of Hellish Cruelty, The Hidden Wickedness Which May Go On, Year In, Year Out, In Such Places, And None The Wiser.
