Out of pure boredom John was surfing the internet when he came across a website of literary quotes. The first one caught his attention and made him think of Sherlock.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. - Albert Einstein

He chuckled, knowing what Sherlock thought of most people this fit him quite well. John continued to read, trying to see if he could find other quotes that described Sherlock. Soon he came to another.

It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not. - André Gide

John thought that suited Sherlock quite well, most who met the detective took a dislike to him, not that Sherlock cared. John kept scrolling down.

The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein

John agreed with that but decided not to share that particular quote with Sherlock, he had a strong feeling he wouldn’t agree. The final quote that John read had him grinning, it described Sherlock perfectly.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased that line. - Oscar Levant

John was still smiling when Sherlock stormed through the door.

“The stupidity of people never fails to amaze me.” he fumed, throwing himself down on the sofa with a huff.

John refrained from saying anything. Sherlock looked up at him, a frown creasing his forehead.

“Why are you smiling like that? Have you been watching porn again?” Sherlock demanded. “No, not porn, your breathing is not ragged and your heart rate is normal.”

He studied John for several moments, then jumped up.

“Whatever it is, I do not want to know, it is most likely something stupid and I cannot stand anymore stupidity today.” he said as he went into the kitchen.

John heard him open the refrigerator, then settle at his microscope to peer at whatever experiment he was conducting at the moment. Insane genius with zero tolerance for stupidity, that described Sherlock quite well John thought and he wouldn’t have him any other way.
