-Frank A Clark
"Suppose you wish to cross the street. To get to the other side, you must walk halfway across the street. But first, you must walk half way to the point that is half way across the street. But before that, you must walk half way to the point that is a quarter of the way across the street. And before that, you must walk half way to the point that is 1/8 of the way across the street. And so on forever. But because there are an infinite number of steps you must take to cross the street, you cannot cross the street."

"What you cannot enforce, do not command."

"Quick rule of thumb: When someone you care about makes you sad and you feel like writing a status? Don't. All you're doing is spreading the sad. Pick up the phone. Sort your stuff. Then leave a status about how you thought your friend Chuck was a p$$$$, but you've got it all worked out now."

"They say your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the moment before you die. That might be true if you're terminally ill, or your parachute doesn't open...but if death sneaks up on you, the only thing you have time to think is: 'Aw, s$$$!'"
"Maybe death was the temp job, and life was the vacation. A vacation you were supposed to spend with the people that you loved...with the people who loved you...and if life was that kind of vacation, what then? What would your last thoughts be then?"
"There's a thin line between crazy people and the rest of us. I mean, we all have voices in our heads. Our parents are in there, our doubts, our fears, our desires. And just like crazy people, we all struggle to know which voices to listen to. Maybe one trick to sorting it all out is being careful which voices you let in in the first place."
"I'd say 'I'm sorry to disappoint you,' but I'm not. I excel at not giving a s$$$. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A, equals B, equals C, equals A, or...whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law. So, you see my dilemma."

-Roxy Harvey
"Nine pounds in a week!? Let me ask you a quick question: are you trying to make my head explode? Because you have no idea just how frustrating it is working your a$$ off trying to inflate a tiny little balloon inside someone's clogged artery. And all that a person has to do, really, is - oh, I don't know - go for a walk in the morning or choke down a fresh green salad. And you come back here looking like that!?! And I know, I know, here I'm supposed to be Dr. Give-a-C$$$, but you wanna know the God's honest truth? And this is a fact - you are what you eat, and you clearly went out and devoured a big fat guy, didn'cha!"
"Oh, gosh, Shannon, thank you so much for clarifying my point by repeating it word for word."
"If you want to be good doctors and nurses, you d$$$-sure better get ready to get in trouble - a lot. Because patients are stupid, and they are really scared. And some of them need you to hold their hands, and you should. Others need you to kick their a$$es, and you absolutely should do that, too. But, it really all just comes down to whether or not you got the guts to say just exactly what you know in your heart of hearts you really should say."
"So, what you're saying is that you have a problem that is totally your problem, but you'd like to find a way to make that problem my problem. But here's the problem, Newbie: it's not my problem."
"Jordan, be reasonable. If you're incubating some kind of man-bat in there, we should find out about it as soon as possible - there are vaccinations to consider."
"You see Dr. Wen in there? He's explaining to that family that something went wrong and that the patient died. He's gonna tell them what happened, he's gonna say he's sorry and then he's going back to work. Do you think anybody else in that room is going back to work today? That is why we distance ourselves; that is why we make jokes. We don't do it because it's fun, we do it so we can get by. And sometimes because it's fun. But mostly, it's the gettin' by thing."
"Sometimes you marry someone just like your mother. Then you remember you hate your mother."

"What, I made you guys go out tonight? Hey, I have a venture capital presentation Thursday. Ask me if I want to go out drinking Wednesday night...Sorry, sorry, I can't. I have a presentation. You see, the truth is you guys have been complaining about work since the second I got here, just dying for an excuse to blow it off. So maybe you should stop being all mad at me when really you're just p$$$ed 'cause you hate your jobs."
-Spence; Ryan Renolds
"Why don't we just skip what I think and jump straight ahead to not having s$$ for a month?"
-Dr. Christopher Turk
"The point is, if you hate your job, maybe you need to switch careers; if you can't get into a relationship, maybe you have problems with commitment, huh? And I know that I'm right, 'cause I'm the exact same way: I blame my parents for not preparing me for the real world, I blame this hospital for taking up all of my time; I'm even blaming you for jeopardizing my future! But, you know what? It's time for me to grow up and start holding myself accountable. And I'm doing it."
-Dr. Elliot Reid
"I'll tell you why I'm doing this, Perry. Because we've been dancing the same annoying dance for years now! One of us gets angry and walks away, and the other person's too stubborn to go after them. Before you know it, you're sleeping with some toothpick-size pharmaceutical rep, and I'm trying to convince my mom that the thing in my suitcase is a giant electric melon-baller! Well guess what? Things are different now - we have a kid together. I'm not going home until you promise that you're coming home with me."
"Honey I know your type. It is so easy to see other people's problems from way up there on your pedestal, but you better be careful up there because if you fall off and have to walk around down here with the rest of us, I don't know, you might catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror or the surface of a pond, your boyfriend's gigantic shiny head, and trust me, you're not gonna like what you see."
"Sweetie, I have feelings for you, too; I do. But unlike you, I have some b$$$s, so you don't hear me whining about it."

"This is about you not being able to commit, because committing means saying goodbye to whatever unfulfilled fantasy of love you've concocted after seeing too many Meg Ryan movies. But men don't come and make everything all better - they're only human. And you shouldn't punish him because you were forced to grow up so fast you never learned how to let someone else take care of you. He's not your father, okay, he's not necessarily gonna disappear at the first sign of trouble. And, as scary as it is to consider letting yourself be truly vulnerable with another human being, what's even scarier is that deep down inside you know you picked this man...and if you run away from him now, you'll be running away from being the kind of person you always wanted to be."

"The only thing we can do is educate our kids on what substance abuse really is. And that means letting them know, honestly, that there's a huge difference between recreational use and chemical dependence. No, smoking a bowl with some friends isn't going to turn you into a drooling social outcast. But keeping yourself in a perpetual buzz day-in and day-out will not only cost you a f$$$load of money, but if you get caught doing it, your a$$ will go to jail. And no, despite what the stoners tell you, that s$$$ isn't as harmless as candy. Drinking a few beers with friends isn't going to make you beat your wife and kids. But drinking in the wrong situations is a good way to wind up becoming a parent yourself, and drinking and driving is a good way to wind up f$$$ing dead. If the ensuing wreck doesn't kill you, I f$$$ing will."
"Observing our married friends, and misinterpreting the husband's reactions to questions that used to require no thought: when we ask him if he wants to go out and grab a beer with us, and he replies with, ‘Sure, just let me run it by the wife real quick,’ we see him as imprisoned. As if everything he does requires permission from a secondary mother. We don't see it for what it really is: a simple act of courtesy. Making sure that you both don't have prior plans. Or you're not hurting for money this week. Or that the kids don't have something that requires your attention."
"In a perfect world, our kids' first introduction to alcohol would be in a controlled environment, chaperoned by responsible adults who could provide transportation home and a safe atmosphere. But the truth is, most of them will find out exactly like we did. In a friend's basement, yelling over loud music, through a thick layer of smoke."
"Almost nobody has a plan for how they're going to raise their kids. What they have, instead, is a series of promises about how they won't raise them."
"Every kid has a time where it seems like Mom and Dad just threw out a punishment for the hell of it. Well, here's why they do it: Fear. Fear, that we're not doing enough to teach our kids, fear that they're going to stop listening to us, and mess up their lives in some unfixable way. Remember, parents are trainers. Our job isn't to just keep you alive until you're legally allowed to get the fuck out of our house. It's to pass along as much knowledge as possible to ensure that you have every fighting chance of being successful when you're on your own. And this is all done under an extremely tight deadline. We're cramming 30-plus years of our own experiences and lessons into a tiny decade-long window between the age when you're actually old enough to listen, and when you're old enough to shut us out."
"So an out-of-the-blue punishment that seems way out of proportion to the crime is often due to that fear, that we're not getting through. If it gets to where the kid just factors in the punishments as part of the price of having fun, then we've failed."
"The lesson isn't so much, 'You'll pay for your insolence,' as it is, 'We don't have time for this. You have to learn that there are consequences for disobeying me because all of the other lessons you'll learn from me require that you listen.'
"If a kid, from birth on, has always had a roof and electricity and internet access, he or she is automatically going to start treating them like constants, like the air they breathe. They can't know the fear; the constant anxiety a grown-up feels knowing that, in fact, we are all one back injury away from being homeless."
"Kids need a break. Being a kid is hard. For a kid, going to school is as demanding as a full time job - those were some of the hardest years of my life. Yes, I work twice as many hours as them now, but I'm a 37 year old man and I worked my way up to that."
-John Cheese

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places.

And everyone else seems to know exactly what to yell, ("Woo"), and exactly when to yell it, (when the moment is right). All of these tricks are lost on you, because you're only really good at listening to music quietly in your headphones as a way of avoiding conversations with people. Some people can scream "Woo!" with total conviction, but not you; when you shout "Woo," it's clear to everyone that your subtext is "Did I do that right?"

You're the guy who's afraid that if people hear you pee, they'll know you're doing it wrong, (somehow)."
