Quote of the Day: Elementary
From "The Leviathan" (1.10):
Holmes: I suppose being proven right is the best gift of all. There was no genius who independently cracked the code of The Leviathan. It was a question of copying the original team.
Watson: So that means you still might be the smartest person in the world.
Holmes: I would never suggest that.
Watson: Really? I think that's the first time I've ever heard you say anything remotely modest.
Holmes: That's not modesty. There's just no reliable way to test the hypothesis.
