House-isms

Some of my favorite House MD quotes.

You're nuts. You're going to be miserable, at home, at work, somewhere. The goal in life is not to eliminate misery, it's to keep misery to the minimum.

You're good. Don't screw it up just because you're miserable.

Because I'm interested. When I'm interested, I describe the things that make me interested as interesting.

He's a happy idiot. That screws with your world view. There's something freeing about being a loser, isn't there? Why are you afraid to...?

You're a bureaucratic nightmare. You're a chronic pain in the ass. And you're a second-rate doctor at best.

You have three choices in this life. Be good, get good or give up. You've gone for column "D". Why?

You were doing better before you had a good idea.

You don't want to face it any more than my patient does! Dying's easy. Living's hard!
