Dr. House - House M.D.
You took a chance, you did something great. You were wrong, but it was still great. You should feel great that it was great. You should feel like crap that it was wrong.
Dr. House - House M.D.
Saying there appears to be some clotting is like saying there's a traffic jam ahead. Is it a ten-car pile up, or just a really slow bus in the center lane? And if it is a bus, is that bus thrombotic or embolic? I think I pushed the metaphor too far.
Dr. House - House M.D.
Tell a surgeon it's okay to cut a leg off and he's going to spend the night polishing his good hacksaw... they care about their patients. They just care about themselves more. Which is not an unreasonable position. Trying to maximize the tissue you save also maximizes the chances of something going wrong. Which means you've gotta be extra careful. Which is such a pain in the ass.

Look, you got me a lollipop so I'm trying to be nice, but, dude, I can't believe you were dumb enough to entrust your hard-earned cabbage to a corrupt government-backed bank. FDIC? More like, FDI-see you later, money.

Whoever said practice makes perfect was an idiot. Humans can't be perfect because we're not machines. The best thing you can say about practice is that it makes... better.
American Chemical Society
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements. Including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. This branch of chemistry was originally limited to compounds produced by living organisms but has been broadened to include human-made substances such as plastics.
International HACCP Alliance
HACCP is important because it prioritizes and controls potential hazards in food production. By controlling major food risks, such as microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants, the industry can better assure consumers that its products are as safe as good science and technology allows. By reducing foodborne hazards, public health protection is strengthened.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Critical Control Points
A critical control point is defined as a step at which control can be applied and is essential to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level. The potential hazards that are reasonably likely to cause illness or injury in the absence of their control must be addressed in determining CCPs.

When I'm stressed, I recite the four species of Antarctic penguin. Adelie, Chinstrap, Emperor, and Gentoo. It helps. Mom taught me when I was little. You should try it next time you think you're dying. Except if you really are dying, it won't help at all.

I'm mostly excited. However, in my initial research, I discovered some alarming details. The campus is on a hill and I don't like the idea of living at an angle. I couldn't find chicken fingers on the cafeteria menu. I'm hoping the online menu is incomplete or seasonal. And according to my research, a large number of artists die penniless and alone, but I'm trying to stay optimistic cause my mom and Paige told me to.
J. D. Sallinger
- The Catcher and the Rye
I think if you don't really like a girl, you shouldn't horse around with her at all, and if you do like her, then you're supposed to like her face, and if you like her face, you ought to be careful about doing crumby stuff to it, like squirting water all over it. It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes.
Jeff Bezos
When you think about the things that you will regret when you're 80, they're almost always the things that you did not do. They're acts of omission. Very rarely are you going to regret something that you did that failed. I'm not just talking about business things. It's like, "I love that person and I never told them," and you know, 50 years later you're like, "Why didn't I tell her? Why didn't I go after it?"
Admiral William McRaven
If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another. If by chance, you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that's made, that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
Now You See Me 2
- Thaddeus Bradley
People see the Horsemen as noble Robin Hoods, but I believe their first attack was just a set up for an even bigger reveal. If you think you've seen it all take another look.
Roger Kahn
You need that pride in yourself, as well as a sense, when you are sitting on page 297 of a book, that the book is going to be read, that somebody is going to care. You can't ever be sure about that, but you need the sense that it's important, that it's not typing; it's writing.
Captain Barbossa - Pirates of the Caribbean
Buried in the island of the dead that which cannot be found except by those who already know where it is. Find it, we did. And there be the chest, and inside, be the gold. We took them all! Spent 'em, traded 'em and fritted 'em away, for drink and food and pleasurable company. But the more we gave them away, the more we came to realize. The drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, nor the company in the world would harm or slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Turner.
James Norrington - Pirates of the Caribbean
No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north, and I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without a doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of.
Orson Scott Card - Ender’s Game
The story is one that you and I will construct together in your memory. If the story means anything to you at all, then when you remember it afterward, think of it, not as something I created, but rather as something that we made together.
Orson Scott Card - Ender’s Game
Human beings are free except when humanity needs them. Maybe humanity needs you. To do something. Maybe humanity needs me to find out what you're good for. We might both do despicable things, Ender, but if humankind survives, then we were good tools.
Orson Scott Card - Ender’s Game
I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself.
