Sometimes I feel like this. I feel like I will never be fit for real work. I tried. I really don’t know what my problem is. I guess the kind of company that is worth my devotion is rare. I work hard and I relax hard. Sometimes I work so hard that I can’t do any work for weeks on end. A 9 to 5 job just doesn’t let me work in spurts like that. They need me to come in every day.

Working for myself is harder than working for someone else, but I’ve finally found that company that is worth my devotion: my own.

While this was the only quotation used in the narration, there was also a quote mentioned by Dr. Reed halfway through the episode, from Sherlock Holmes:

While the quotations in this program aren’t always accurate, this episode is a pleasant exception. Both are excerpts from the poem The Hollow Men. They also partially quoted the last lines of the poem, which may be familiar:

Here are the quotations featured in last week’s episode of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds. I was out of town last week so I just watched this episode. Another episode aired this week and will be covered on Monday.

I’m not sure if either of these is accurate, especially the first one. The Emerson quotation appears frequently online, although they phrased it a bit differently in the show.

Once again, here are the quotations featured in last week’s episode of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.

I’m not sure about the authenticity of either of these, but we did have both in our database before the show. The Gandhi quotation was worded slightly differently on the show, but they do tend to edit them for length, so this version is likely more accurate.
