Things People Said: Isn't Simply A Test

House (talking about himself and visions he had): The patient was technically dead for over a minute....
Wilson (from the back of the classroom): Do you think he was dead? Do you think those experiences were real?
House: Define real. They were real experiences. What they meant, personally, I choose to believe that the white light people sometimes see, visions, this patient saw: they're all just chemical reactions that take place when the brain shuts down.
Foreman: You choose to believe that?
House: There's no conclusive science. My choice has no practical relevance to my life, I choose the outcome I find more comforting.
Cameron: You find it more comforting to believe that this is it?
House: I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test.
