- Parents are never as bad as kids think they are.
- Matt Witten, House M.D., Cursed, 2004
- I don't know how to have casual conversation. You think you're talking about one thing, and either you are and it's incredibly boring, or you're not because it's subtext and you need a decoder ring.

- 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.
- David Shore, House M.D., Three Stories, 2004

- We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), New Hampshire Democratic Primary Speech, 01-08-08
- It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. - Barack Obama (1961 - ), New Hampshire Democratic Primary Speech, 01-08-08
- If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
