Obviously, it’s a quote, since I’m not blessed with the bandwidth to actually stream video and don’t have the patience to cut the section out and upload it someplace. Besides, I’m not even sure that’s entirely legal.

Cameron: According to Freud, and I’m paraphrasing: “Instinct of love towards an object demands a mastery to obtain it. And if a person feels like they can’t control the object, or feel threatend by it, they act negatively toward it. Like… an 8th grade boy punching a girl.

House: I treat you like garbage, so… I must really like you.

H: Given your Freudian theory, what does it mean if I start being nice to you?
C: That you’re getting in touch with your feelings.
H: Hmhmm! So, there’s absolutely nothing I can do to make you think that I don’t like you.
C: Sorry, no.

C: I’ve one evening with you, one chance, and I don’t wanna waste it talking about what wines you like or what movies you hate… I wanna know how you feel… about me.

H: You live under the delusion that you can fix everything that isn’t perfect. It’s why you married a man who’s dying of Cancer. You don’t love, you need. And now that your husband is dead, you’re looking for your new charity case. That’s why you’re going out with me. I’m twice your age. I’m… not great looking. I’m not charming. I’m not even nice. What I am, is what you need. I’m damaged.

Quote from an article in The Hindu (12/10/07) titled ‘The Saga of the argumentative Briton’

[Doris Lessing] argued that it had come to a point where the “most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no-one protests.”

I saw Jaimy and Rakhi playing on the swing in front of college mid-day today and this popped up in my mind. I like this quote! Simply because of who’s saying it!

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?

You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of god that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.’
