"Everybody Lies" - House's Famous Quote
First mentioned in 101: Pilot
| Many times House isn't able to figure out exactly what is wrong because the patient has lied about symptoms and circumstances. House frequently says, "Everybody lies," or proclaims during the team's deliberations: "The patient is lying," or "The symptoms never lie." Even when not clearly stated, this assumption guides House's decisions and diagnoses. |
Other Quotes about Lying
"Truth begins in lies."
101: Pilot
"I've found that when you want to know the truth about someone that someone is probably the last person you should ask."
105: Damned If You Do
"I don't ask why patients lie, I just assume they all do."
107: Fidelity
"You want to know how two chemicals interact, do you ask them? No, they're going to lie through their lying little chemical teeth. Throw them in a beaker and apply heat."
113: Cursed
"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."

i agree. whenever patients or anyone lies it does complicate things and it makes matters worse. House understands this and makes sure that his team knows that everybody lies and that they cant always trust what the patient tells them. I truly love this saying because its true amongst some of the other sayings that House has said for the past 5 seasons.

I love this saying because it shows that a doctor can say something that is so true in today's world, full of cell phones, internet, computers, and people doing other things for people. All of these things can totally complicate things for the doctors who are trying to figure out what's wrong with them, and how to diaganose them.

What about the quote from the 4th season episode "It's A Wonderful Lie" with the woman whose hands suddenly paralyze and she has a daughter she doesn't want tested as a bone marrow match... Anyway the girl asks House whats the difference between white lies and comforting untruths. House responds "White lies are lies that we tell people to make them feel better, comforting untruths are lies we tell ourselves to make us feel better." - I'm not 100% that is the exact quote but you get the gist.
