14 Best Quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch worth Celebrating over on His birthday

With every bit of intelligence a person possesses, comes a fair amount of sass and superiority. And Sherlock had a lot of that to account for, so it’s natural for him to call the brains of plebians, ordinary and boring.

Great minds analyze situations deeply, and understand that no detail is minuscule enough to be ignored.

Sherlock had his ways of achieving his goals, and not all of them were conventionally moral. He may have been on the ‘good’, or rather, the better side of the system, but that didn’t make him a good person.

You do live your life, but your experiences are events that are shared by those around you. And once you die, it’s the living that bear the loss of a presence. It is selfish to end your life, because that death is an event that everyone around you would be going through.

The disrespect and embarrassment in this one single sentence is enough to shut anyone up. It is also something that Sherlock would say.

To fear the uncertainties and dangers that lie before you is nothing abnormal. Without fear, one’s unhinged tendencies are ultimately going to lead to their demise.

Mr Cumberbatch has always treated the audience with his incredible performance, whatever the role may be. Even as a villain in Star Trek Into Darkness, he brilliantly brings out his ideals as a villain, emphasizing on the fact that despite his actions, he was doing all of it for his family.

People have evolved with their values overtime, which have transformed into subtly hinting at others about their wants, and expecting them to magically understand them. They never do say what they mean.

It’s always wrong to deceive others, unless the deception is saving their lives (or so they say). But deceiving someone when they’re expecting your lies is like a sucker punch to the gut with a metal hand. It’s also extremely difficult, courtesy of the metal.

The iconic animated Christmas hater was also voiced by Mr Cumberbatch, and while not a lot of us hate Christmas, most of us are not the fastest birds early in the morning.

Doctor Strange had almost been pushed into a new world when he had come into contact with the Ancient One. He believed in the indifference of matter in the vast universe, and no amount of the so-called ‘miracles’ convinced him otherwise.

Google has probably saved more lives (while probably keeping a count too, of course). When Mordo asks him how good his sanskrit was, his immediate response is that he could always refer to google translate if needed (despite the fact that google translate does not translate sanskrit. Poor Strange).

Simply put, every time you dream, whatever you experience is something a different version of you is going through in an alternate universe, which can be anything from terrifying to embarrassing (just imagine that a Doctor Strange out there wears a mullet).

Steven Strange comes to terms with the fact that every version of him in every alternate universe is in love with Christine Palmer. Benedict portrays all of the characters’ acceptance amazingly, and having him play as Doctor Strange for the MCU is a total blessing.
