"There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you."
"The compound of the two, the artistic and the practical, is the most powerful weapon in the world."
"The public is an old baby. It likes to be told a story."
"The little things are infinitely the most important."
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.
