Louis House replied to Tucker B. Arnold's discussion Summer jobs for a teenager
"You don't really get to be so picky until you're older, and even then, landing the job you actually want might be harder than you think. I've had a lot of jobs for someone my age (I think). There were ones I enjoyed, like when I…"

Louis House replied to Rick Shelton's discussion What does a man need or require to be satisfied with his life?
""I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it…"

Louis House replied to Tylor's discussion co-habitation -> is it appropriate?
"The best roommate I've ever had was a girl. The worst roommate I've ever had was another girl. But how good of a roommate someone is has nothing to do with their sex, the way I see it.There's nothing wrong about cohabitation, in my…"

Louis House replied to Bodhi Culver's discussion Men With Shaved/Buzzed Heads
"Hair length has nothing to do with manliness. I know that that's not really part of your question here, but I just want to get that out of the way first. Speaking from personal experience, people will ultimately have their own opinion about…"

Louis House replied to Sam I.'s discussion Ressurecting the Duel?
"Sorry, but "almost never "to the death""? So... sometimes to the death? You're actually claiming that there are instances where two men should try to kill each other in an organized way to see who was in the right? Bringing…"

Louis House replied to Garrett Gatlin's discussion Advice on outfits (Pictures included)
"My internet connection is pretty slow so I can't see all the pictures, so all I'm going to say is that your pants seem to be too long. Ultimately, where the pant breaks (folds in on itself) is up to you, in that to a certain extent…"

Louis House replied to Garrett Gatlin's discussion General and specific questions about men's dress.
"I don't have much time to give you an in-depth reply, but I'll try and help a little. It sounds like you're already doing better than a lot of people. 1) It's hard to tell how much of what you own needs to be thrown out…"

Louis House replied to Frost's discussion Smoke
"It was longer ago than that, though the sentiment did persist through those decades (and even to today, to some degree, I imagine).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torches_of_Freedom#Smoking_as_an_inappropriate_act_for_women And I think it's safe…"

Louis House replied to Theodore Buchanan's discussion Stinky Apartments/Dorms in College
"Do some wood burning and smoke a cigar while you wait for your coffee to percolate with cinnamon buns in the oven. Just kidding.If the apartment is going to be messy, then you'll need air fresheners. There are lots of products designed to…"

Louis House replied to Ian's discussion Found that girlfriend's ex takes her out for dinner
"Perhaps I'm not the exception. No one can predict the future, admittedly. But I still don't accept as truth the notion that every single last ex friendship ever in the entire world is an illegitimate one. "

Louis House replied to Ian's discussion Found that girlfriend's ex takes her out for dinner
"No, it has become painfully and almost humorously obvious to us that we would never, ever work as romantic partners again. In fact, it shouldn't have happened in the first place - I've come to realize that she is much more of a…"

Louis House replied to Ian's discussion Found that girlfriend's ex takes her out for dinner
"I don't think it's necessarily fair to generalize all "ex friendships" as being outrageous. Obviously the majority of exes cannot work as just friends, but I can honestly say that my best female friend (other than my current…"

Louis House replied to Ian's discussion Found that girlfriend's ex takes her out for dinner
"I don't think there's anything wrong with exes going out for dinner, especially if they are "foodies" and if they've remained good friends after the breakup. However, it certainly becomes a problem if you think she…"

Quote
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in.

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult.

A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
