Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.

More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."
"Heaven is to me as definite a world as Europe or the United States."
"I have seen things that would make your hair stand on end."
"Spiritualism is the religion of the future, the answer to the modern world's curse of materialism."
"Any truth is better than indefinite doubt."
About Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)
Scottish physician and author whose Sherlock Holmes (created 1887) became the most-portrayed literary character in film and television history. Closely associated with G.K. Chesterton (Father Brown detective creator and Edwardian contemporary) and Wilkie Collins (earlier detective-fiction predecessor (The Moonstone)). For an intellectual contrast, see Harry Houdini, American escape artist and skeptic — Houdini publicly debunked the spiritualist mediums Doyle endorsed; Doyle insisted Houdini was secretly using real psychic powers. Their 1920s friendship-then-feud is the cleanest 'magician's debunking vs Sherlock-Holmes-author's credulity' irony in cultural history — the rationalist's creator believed the impossible.
