Actually there is more coming up. This is, I'd guess the first half to two-thirds. For me, in my writing process, sometimes I need to get some feedback going just so my brain can begin to process the concepts into solid words. My plan is further develop so that we can not only why he doesn't trust everyone else, but perhaps why he can show some trust toward Wilson (and Cuddy to an extent.) Sometimes its not even necessarily hearing what others say about it, but just the effort of explaining what I'm attempting to do provides a lot of the focus I need. (The whole image of the battered fortress I used in "A Towered Citadel" came about during email conversations with Auditrix in which I trying to verbalize what I was attempting to do with the story.

Of course the quote thing is a whole different issue. I like the quotes I found, but yet have fallen in love with the idea of using House's own cynical comments to launch a vignette about the reasoning behind those comments -- using his own words against him. I haven't settled on either approach at this point.
