- In the blog, no one can hear you scream.
- I usually keep my sadness inside where it can quietly fester as a mental illness. - Leela, in Futurama
- “It’s just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?” – Fry, in Futurama
- It takes one woman twenty years to make a man of her son — and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him. – Helen Rowland (1875-1950)
- It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. The weird thing about telling someone they’re dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they’re willing to die for. What they’re willing to lie for. – House
- We are selfish, base animals crawling across the earth, but ’cause we’ve got brains, if we try really hard, we can usually aspire to something that is less than pure evil. – House
- If we are the only intelligent life in the universe, at least there’s a finite number of idiots. – Steven Coallier
- If you want to stop car accidents, take out the air bags and attach machetes pointing at their throats. Everyone will drive three miles an hour. – House
- Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock. - Ben Hecht (1893 – 1964)
- “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” – Ronald Reagan
- “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 butt. It’s always ugly. Always. You can live with dignity, we can’t die with it.” – House, Pilot Episode
- “Well, like the philosopher Jagger once said, ‘You can’t always get what you want.’” – House, Pilot Episode
- Words to live by: Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus, et Fidelis! (Always Alert, Brave, Ready, and Faithful)
- In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards. – Mark Twain
- House: “When you think about it, the more I mock you, the more it proves my respect for you. “
- “And humility is an important quality. Especially if you’re wrong a lot…. Of course, when you’re right, self-doubt doesn’t help anybody, does it?” – House
- Welcome aboard the good ship Asskisser. Nice day for a sail! Pucker up, me ‘earties! – House
- The notion of picking one time of year to be decent to other people is obscene because it’s actually validating the notion of being miserable wretches the rest of the year. – House
- “There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it’s only a hundred billion. It’s less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.” –American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988)
- Arrogance has to be earned. Tell me what you did to earn yours. – House M.D.
- Dr. Wilson: You don’t like yourself. But you do admire yourself. Its all you’ve got so you cling to it. You’re so afraid if you change, you’ll lose what makes you special. [pause] Being miserable doesn’t make you better than anybody else, House. It just makes you miserable.
