Good Doctor – Series Quotes

I don't blindly turn over my well-being, or anything else, to those in authority.

Things that matter are scary.

Getting away from things every now and again, having balance in our lives can be just as important to our performance as practice.

Very few things that are worthwhile in life come without a cost.

It's wonderful, this love thing. Why should it make any sense? When I think about the reasons I'm in love with Debbie, okay, she's kind, she's funny, she's loving. But that's not it. Not really. There are other people in the world that are kinder, that are funnier, that are more loving than she is, but she makes me happy just being around her. It makes absolutely no sense, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Nobody likes dating. It's awkward and uncomfortable. It's expensive.

Dating is stressful. But being alone is worse.

Every date is a disaster. Every relationship is out of control. But if you stick with it, you wind up with someone in your life who will help you when you need to be helped, love you when you do not feel lovable, be with you no matter what.

When memory goes, all that's left is emotion. What we've learned doesn't matter. What we had for lunch, where we went for vacation... None of it matters. But how we feel who we're close to... It is important.

When people think they're going to die, they assess their life, reevaluate what's important.

Whenever people want you to do something they think is wrong, they say it is «reality».

Sure, we could go out on another date and another date after that and more dates after that, but life is short and getting shorter, and I want to spend whatever time I have left with you. When we are together, it feels like we are speeding down the PCH in a Duesenberg, 12 cylinders with 400 cc's and turbo boosts and picnic basket in the back with baguettes and Gruyere and prosciutto and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and you are sitting next to me, wind in your hair, and you are laughing that laugh, and the sun, and the ocean. And it just feels like we can go forever.

We all get smacked around. We got to learn to take the hits, lick our wounds, and move on.

When something bad happens, we have to remember we're not defined by any one thing.

— My dad is a Taekwondo grandmaster. Coached me growing up. He always used to say: "Only you can beat you".
