“But there can be no grave for Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson...Shall they not always live in Baker Street? Are they not there this moment, as one writes? Outside, the hansoms rattle through the rain, and Moriarty plans his latest devilry.

― Vincent Starrett, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”
