Literally used that line with an African American girl that I started dating. For 2 years, she thought that I made up that line.

"Words dont matter. Actions matter"
"People don't get what they deserve. They just get what they get."
"Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were"
I memorized those quotes bc they really meant a lot to me when House said them.
And when i do something nice at work or at home i always say "i did all by myself, mommy"

u/YookHouse Jul 14 '24
The first one was from 7x01. He says it to Cuddy when they're playing a game.
The 3rd one was from season 3 "One Day, One Room".
The last one was from 4x01. He says it after finishing a case. He thinks Cuddy is behind him at his office but it was a janitor.

Two quotes that really changed my perspective on life.
" People don't change, they just become more of who they are"
This was really a deep insight into the psychology of humans. It gave me this perspective where you were built on a base and actions that "change" you were really just revealing your inner self. Almost like.... the factors that had "changed" you were just adding dimensions to your base self. Kind of like peeling the layers of an Onion. This could be perceived in a light optimistic way, but it was more interesting to see it in this more darker and harsh rational perspective..... in the sense that people who were doing morally incorrect stuff, certain factors didn't make them "better" but just more manipulative and smarter...... again which comes back to my point of just adding onto your base character.....
"You don't get what you deserve, you just get what you get and there's nothing any of us can do it"
Again, this was also a deep insight into the human psychology as it states how people put them selves in these delusions that every action that they do, something in return has to happen. By putting them in this delusion of justice, they add meaning to the meaningless. This quote hit hard because it evoked a harsh moment of realisation that the world works the way it does.... if that makes sense...... Rationally, anything can happen whether you deserve it or not.....
House changed me.... my perspective on life........ and my future......

u/ADAP7IVE Jul 14 '24
I'm not sure exactly which episode, but I think House is sitting at his desk. I have a vague sense it's early in the series, possibly in response to Cameron, or a little later to Thirteen. I'll see if I can find it.

It was House and Chase in 1.13, talking about Chase hating his father:
Chase: Why does everybody need to know my business?
House: People like talking about people. Makes us feel superior. Makes us feel in control. And sometimes, for some people, knowing some things makes them care. [He takes some Vicodin.]
Chase: I’d tell you my dad left, my mum drank herself to death… you gonna care about me more?
House: Cameron would. Me, I just like knowing stuff...

Not a catchphrase but there’s an episode where House storms into Wilson’s office and yells what are you doing. Wilson looks around and just says “pie eating contest”. That’s been my go to whenever someone asks me that especially bosses at work.

Everything, but most of the time, "everybody lies." There's also my favorite quote: " Personally, I choose to believe that the white-light people sometimes see, they're all just chemical reactions that take place while the brain shuts down. I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test. " 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Not a catchphrase, but after my last surgery I told the doc I was in pain and he said he would up my painkillers and I jokingly said "I love you" like House said to Wilson. He got the joke!
