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
"How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!"
"I never remember feeling tired by work, though idleness exhausts me completely."
"I have a lot of sympathy for criminals, but none for fools."
"I have seen things that would make your hair stand on end."
"I have no doubt that there are other planets inhabited by intelligent beings."
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.
