Arthur Conan Doyle Quote
Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilization and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below.
The Works of A. Conan Doyle: The Stark-Munro letters and Round the red lamp (ed. 1902)
