"The lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."
"Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation."
"There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact."
"The past is never truly dead; it lives on in the present."
"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear."
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.
