More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."
"It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you."
"I am not a connoisseur of crime; I am a student of it."
"The very atmosphere of the room seemed to be impregnated with the spirit of crime."
"The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance."
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.
