There's a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is in the body. Suffering is in the mind and it feels infinite. So maybe the key is to feel your pain and learn from it. And someday your suffering might disappear.

Joel: It's time for me to try and be more generous with you.
Maggie: Is that code for you wanna be exclusive?
Joel: I think we should give it a shot.

You're not a jerk, Joel, but if you really want to be honest, you can give a lot more than you're admitting. You're just a chicken.

Joel: I try and give her honesty and I'm coming off like a total jerk.

Reycraft: He did have a stake going through his chest. Just noticing a connection.
Alex: My patient is really suffering, Reycraft, and not just from photosensitivity.
Jackson: The guy's a vampire.
Reycraft: Who's going to tell him?
Joel: Guys...
Alex: Vampire! Jackson, I love you.

Joel: I've been completely honest with you here, Maggie, about this. I'm not up for a relationship right now, I don't have it in me, and I don't want to lead you on.
Maggie: Okay, then I think our transaction here is done.

Joel: Ow! Did you just bite me?
Maggie: Yeah, I had an impulse.

Doctors call pain "the fifth vital sign." But unlike the other four, you want it to stop.

[to Charlie] But it won't. I won't let it. I will never forget about you, Charlie and I will never let you go.

Saving Hope Quotes

Joel: It's gonna be weird, isn't it? I mean you and me. You didn't invite me to the wedding so presumably you're still in love with me.
Alex: Right. I totally forgot. I like to remember the poems you wrote me, the breakfast in bed, the nurses you were banging.
Joel: Okay, we can stop right there.

This is how it happens. You leave it all behind. Everything you love. Everything you know. You belong to the hospital now. And all you can do is hope.
