"I have no doubt that there are other planets inhabited by intelligent beings."
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."
"The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined."
"Love is the greatest power in the universe."
"It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I feel the most profound respect for the man for whom no mystery is too abstruse, and no problem too intricate."
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.
