Wilkie Collins

Wilkie Collins was a British novelist and playwright, best known for his works in the mystery and detective genres, including 'The Woman in White' and 'The Moonstone'.

"But compare the hardest day's work you ever did with the idleness that splits flowers and pokes its way into spiders' stomachs, and thank your stars that your head has got something it must think of, and your hands something that they must do."
