More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined."
"My spiritual experiences are as real as my physical ones."
"It is a truism that the surest way to conceal a fact is to make it appear ridiculous."
"Several incidents in my life have convinced me of spiritual interposition – of the promptings of some beneficent force outside ourselves, which tries to help us where it can."
"The scientific establishment is too conservative."
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.
