Gregory House

Everybody lies.

There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it. I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. It's always ugly - always! We can live with dignity - we can't die with it.

Reality is almost always wrong.

I said I was an addict, I didn't say I had a problem. I pay my bills, I make my meals. I function.

I take risks; sometimes patients die. But not taking risks causes more patients to die, so I guess my biggest problem is I've been cursed with the ability to do the math.

Treating illnesses is why we became doctors. Treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable.

Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything.

Like I always say, there's no 'I' in 'team.' There is a 'me,' though, if you jumble it up.

Solving puzzles. Saving lives is just collateral damage.

If the wonder's gone when the truth is known, there never was any wonder.
