“My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.” - Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four

I’ll love you for a thousand more.

I know Sherlock Holmes isn’t a thousand years old, but it just seemed fitting for the Holmes-Watson relationship. Especially after I read this.

”The story of Sherlock Holmes, on the surface, is about deduction, but in reality, it’s about the best of two men who save each other - a lost, washed-up war hero and a man who could end up committing murders instead of solving them. They come together. They become this perfect unit. They become the best friendship ever, and they become heroes.”
— Steven Moffat

It’s a friendship that, no matter in what form or interpretation, is about two people who love each other.
