More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"I am not a connoisseur of crime; I am a student of it."
"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose."
"The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance."
"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important."
"Man is an ape, and woman is a cat."
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.
