You pretend to buck the system, pretend to be a rebel. You claim to hate the rules. But all you do is substitute your own rules for society's. And it's a nice simple rule, tell the blunt, honest truth in the starkest, darkest way, And what will be, will be. What will be, should be. And everyone else is a coward. But you are wrong. It's not cowardly to not call someone an idiot. People aren't tactful or polite just because it is nice. They do it because they got an ounce of humility. Because they know that they will make mistakes, and they know that their actions have consequences, and they know that those consequences are their fault. Why do you want so bad not to be human, House?
