More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"It is a truism that the surest way to conceal a fact is to make it appear ridiculous."
"We are all pilgrims on a journey."
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
"The Irish are a difficult people, but they have their charm."
"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose."
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.
