Quotes by John Dorian - J.D.

You're lucky you're still breathing, let alone able to walk. I suggest you take full advantage of that fact.

Sometimes in life when you get what you want, you end up missing what you left behind.

Turk: "Well?"
J.D.: "It's beautiful. But my parents are killing me, if I marry a black guy."

You just have to remember, that even if things are changing all around you, deep down you're still the same person.

I grew up on the street. No, not the hood. The Sesame Street.

Because often when you do it, it makes you happy. Things have a way of working out.

I've been reading up on this whole Iraq war situation. You know what's so messed up? I just got to the power President Bush gave his 'mission accomplished'-speech on a battleship, and I still got 400 more pages to go.

Sometimes you just have to do what's right for your friend. Even if it means sacrificing your own happiness. When it comes down to it, you just have to be proud of the decision you make.

It's hard to face a harsh truth about yourself. The only thing you can do, is try to take positive steps.

It's about the day I realised, that admitting we're not heroic, is when we're the most heroic of all.

There comes a time when every man needs to make a choice, whether it's a professional choice or whether it's a personal choice. In the end, it's about integrity, and it's about chasing after what you really want, even if that means showing you both care a little. And sometimes... well, sometimes you just have to do what's right for your friend, even if it means sacrificing your own happiness. When it comes down to it, you just have to be proud of the decision you make.

The truth is, it's all of your memories, the joyful ones and the heartbreaking ones, that make up who you are as a person.

Either way, when you hit that low point, you have a choice. You can either wallow in self-pity, or you can suck it up. It's your call.

Because even if it breaks your heart to be 'just friends'... if you really care about someone, you'll take the hit.

Sometimes all it takes is a slammin' hottie to make you dig down deep and discover who you really are.

Because nothing sucks more than feeling all alone, no matter how many people are around.
