Unhappiness is an unfinished state; happy people don't need our help.

As a real person, he wouldn't last a minute, would he? But drama is about imperfection. And we've moved away from the aspirational hero. We got tired of it, it was dull. If I was House's friend, I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don't always like morally good people, do we?

It's fun to play happy people.

Money doesn't make people happy. People make people happy.

To be happy is only to have freed one's soul from the unrest of unhappiness.
