"The greatest evil is indifference."
"I have no doubt that there are other planets inhabited by intelligent beings."
"The public is an old baby. It likes to be told a story."
"The more outré and grotesque an incident is the more carefully it deserves to be examined."
"I have always been a seeker of truth, however uncomfortable it may be."
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)).

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.
