More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"The more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be."
"Every man has his own secret sorrows, which the world knows not."
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
"The game is afoot."
"Love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things."
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.
