More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"Work is the best antidote to sorrow."
"I never guess. It is a shocking habit—destructive to the logical faculty."
"The best way of successfully acting a part is to be it."
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
"The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined."
About Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)
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.
