From House

One of my favorite quotes from House M.D. was said by one of the characters whom, although interesting and intriguing to many, I didn’t care much about.  It was Amber, the now dead Dr. Volakis, once called "cutthroat bitch."  Even if I didn’t like her ways much (specifically while aspiring to House’s fellowship program), I must recognize power and dignity in her words: "Haven’t you met me? I can take care of me."  For me, it doesn’t even matter the setting (she was arguing with her boyfriend about his decision making attitude, and how could his behavior affect their relationship).  I just think these words should be true for everyone -even if there’s no need to use them. 

In the end, think I’ll actually miss the character.

YOU HAVE GOT THE TRAINING, PERIOD

Thus, fEaR is mere IRRATIONALITY (nonsense, bs!) and an absolutely RIDICULOUS loss of time & energy.

THERE IS NO SPACE FOR THAT.
