More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"A man always finds it hard to realize that he may have finally lost a woman's love, however badly he may have treated her."
"Spiritualism is the religion of the future, the answer to the modern world's curse of materialism."
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."
"The working classes need guidance, not revolution."
"Heaven is to me as definite a world as Europe or the United States."
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.
