"War is a necessary evil, and sometimes a cleansing fire."
"The scientific establishment is too conservative."

"We can't command our love, but we can our actions."
"The greatest victory is over oneself."
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)).
