“When I was a kid … I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn’t really my family. They weren’t bad people, they were just … insignificant. And I wanted to be different. Special. I wanted to change. A new name, a new life. The watchmaker’s son … became a watchmaker. It is so futile. And I wanted to be … important.”
You can’t go on like you’re going to start really living one day, like all this is some preamble to some great life that’s going to magically appear. I’m a firm believer that you have to create your own miracles. Don’t hold out that there’s something better waiting on the other side. It doesn’t work that way.

If in 100 years I am only known as the man who invented Sherlock Holmes then I will have considered my life a failure.
