"The truth is often stranger than fiction."
"The press, Watson, is a most valuable institution, if you only know how to use it."
"I never guess. It is a shocking habit—destructive to the logical faculty."
"I have no doubt that there are other planets inhabited by intelligent beings."
"War is a necessary evil, and sometimes a cleansing fire."
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.
