More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
"The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods."
"I think the average woman is rather foolish."
"I am not the law, but I represent justice so far as my feeble powers go."
"Every man has his own secret sorrows, which the world knows not."
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.
