[ Will knew that he had given up there at the end. He could try to spin it any number of ways but when it was boiled down to it's bare essence, he had given up trying to fight Hannibal, trying to fight for the ability to live without him.
It was why he saw himself as a failure, where someone like House still had his purpose and his place. ]
Hope is a dangerous emotion. You have to guard it fiercely and be prepared to face the vulnerability it brings to your life.
Of course you are. [ Will fired back, standing firm in the face of that defensive expression. ]
Not for yourself, exactly but you're hopeful for solving the puzzle.
Hope isn't sunshine and koombahyah. Like what that kid Al keeps spouting. Hope is tenacity, like what Ginger lives. It is looking at the impossible and saying 'no, you won't defeat me'.

Spite and tenacity aren't synonyms for hope. I double-checked my thesaurus the other day.

Meanie. [ It was a childish term, but he was grinning. ] Tell me to lay off, but then give me such good material.
[ But he was laying off. ]
