About This Quote
This quote comes from a letter written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He was warning his friend, Sir Henry Littleton, not to change the way he had lived his life. Sir Arthur believed that life was not a story written in the past; it was now and now was now. What we do today is important now and what we do yesterday is not.
