House Quotes

House: I am selling my soul.
Dr. Wilson: Just a little piece. And you are getting something in return.
House: I said I was selling it. I didn't say I was giving it away. That would be immoral and stupid.

Dr. Cameron: I thank you because it means something to me, to be grateful for what I receive.
House: You are the most naive atheist I've ever met.

Dr. Cameron: You don’t need to worry about firing anyone. I’m leaving.
House: Why? Is this another noble, self-sacrificing gesture? You trying to protect Foreman?
Dr. Cameron: No.
House: So this is just, "Don’t fire me, I quit."
Dr. Cameron: I’m protecting myself. You asked me why I like you. You’re abrasive and rude, but I figured everything you do, you do it to help people. But I was wrong. You do it because it’s right.
