More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell."
"The more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is only the commonplace that truly puzzles."
"Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner."
"Women are emotional creatures, and therefore not fitted for politics."
"It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you."
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.
