I am quite
serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the
whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these

meaning of the word, without coming here.

My mind rebels
at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the
most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis,
and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then
with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of
existence. I crave for mental exaltation.
-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
1859-1930, British Author,
''Sherlock Holmes''
