“Who gets to determine when the old ends, and the new begins? It’s not a day on a calendar, not a birthday, not a new year. It’s an event. Big or small. Something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope. A new way of living and looking at the world. Letting go of old habits, old memories. What’s i…”

“Fresh starts. Thanks to the calendar, they happen every year. Just set your watch to January. Our reward for surviving the holiday season, is a new year.

“Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is in progress, whether we want it to be or not. So go ahead argue with the refs, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play hard, play fast, play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow. O…”

“We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us, more than others....We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grownups, we give as good as we get....Ultimately, we all do damage....And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.”

“I tell the truth. It's what I do. It doesn't make me a bad doctor. Everyone walks around this place lying. Look we tell the patient that's dying that there's hope when there is no hope. Maybe I'm a pig, maybe I'm an ass, and maybe I'm a varmint like everybody says. But I tell them the truth. It's th…”

“Do you think I want to look at you? That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife? I'm married, I have responsibilities! She doesn't drive me crazy! She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal! She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veterinarian touching her with his hands!…”

“In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins....We all know the big ones... gluttony, pride, lust....But the sin you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger's not that dangerous....That you can control it....My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit....…”

“You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done, so all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious daddy issues. Who cared, because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back to…”

“There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile...and then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice.

“We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people....The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us....Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise....Sometimes we think we can…”

“As doctors, patients are always telling us how they would do our jobs. Just stitch me up, slap a Band-Aid on it and send me home. It's easy to suggest a quick solution, when you don't know much about the problem or when you don't understand the underlying cause or just how deep the wound really is..…”

“One way or another our karma will leave us to face ourselves.

“A good basketball game can have us all on the edge of our seats. Games are all about the glory, pain and the play by play.

“My college campus has a magic statue. It's a longstanding tradition for students to rub its nose for good luck.

“We can’t help ourselves. We see a line, we want to cross it. Maybe it's the thrill of trading the familiar for the unfamiliar. A sort of personal dare.

“In hospitals they say you know. You know when you're going to die. Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there's a scent, a smell of death. Some say there's just some kind of sixth sense, when the great beyond is heading for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's c…”
