More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"Heaven is to me as definite a world as Europe or the United States."
"The fear of ridicule is the greatest enemy of progress."
"You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles."
"The world is big enough for us all."
"Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner."
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.
