“The secret of the man who is universally interesting is that he is universally interested”

William Dean Howells (1837–1920) author, critic and playwright from the United States

Literary Friends and Acquaintance : A Personal Retrospect of American Authorship (1900) http://archive.org/stream/oliverwendellhol03395gut/old/whowh10.txt <br class="br">Context: The secret of the man who is universally interesting is that he is universally interested, and this was, above all, the secret of the charm that Doctor Holmes had for every one.
