Parasite

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on May 22, 1859, died in Crowborough on July 7, 1930. He was a British writer and doctor, creator of the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. He was a prolific author whose work includes stories of science fiction, historical novel, theater and poetry."I believe that, originally, a person's brain is like a small empty attic in which you have to put the furniture you prefer. Foolish people pile up all the wood they find at hand in that attic, and so it turns out that there is no room in it for the knowledge that could be useful to them, or, in the best case, that knowledge is so scrambled with another montonera of things, they find it difficult to find them. Well, the skilled craftsman is very careful with what he puts in the attic of the brain. It only admits the tools that can help you do your job; but of these it does have a large assortment and keeps it in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to believe that the small room has elastic walls and that it can widen indefinitely. " Arthur Conan Doyle
