“We’re all susceptible to it. The dread and anxiety of not knowing what’s coming. It’s pointless in the end. Because all the worrying, and all the making of plans for things that could, or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog. Or take a nap. Just, whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia, is to be here. Just as you are.”

— Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy, Season 6: I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me

“As doctors, we're trained to be skeptical, because our patients lie to us all the time. The rule is, every patient is a liar until proven honest....Lying is bad. Or so we're told constantly from birth—honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree, whatever....The fact is, lying is a necessity....We lie to ourselves because the truth, the truth freaking hurts.”
