Grey’s Anatomy Tv Show Quotes
Meredith Grey : “Letting go is the easy part. It’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. AT some point you just have to let go, move one. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.”

Owen Hunt: “I don’t have to say a word. She just looks at me and sees who I am and how I feel and accepts it. She doesn’t try to change it or wants to change it. That person. There are a billion people but I imagine there’s only one of her”

Meredith Grey : “At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.”
Meredith Grey : “The harder the hit, the more it’ll sting. That’s usually the case. So we prescribe meds, ice, compression, elevation. Things you do to stop the immediate pain. But you can only dull the pain for so long, and when the drugs start to wear off, it really hurts.”

At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”
Meredith Grey : “In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins….We all know the big ones… gluttony, pride, lust….But the sin you don’t hear much about is anger. Maybe it’s because we think anger’s not that dangerous….That you can control it….My point is, maybe we don’t give anger enough credit….Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all, when it comes to destructive behavior, it did make the top seven.”

But we forget that sometimes that’s how the good things come too.”
Meredith Grey : “We’re friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be here.”
Meredith Grey : “Why does it feel so good to get rid of things? To unload? To let go? Maybe because when we see how little we actually need to survive, it makes us realize how powerful we actually are. To strip down to only what we need. To hang on to only what we can’t do without. Not just to survive, but to thrive.”
Meredith Grey : “The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we’re tired, we deny that we’re scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we’re in denial.”
Meredith Grey : “They say death is hardest on the living. It’s tough to actually say goodbye. Sometimes it’s impossible. You never really stop feeling the loss. It’s what makes things so bitter sweet. We leave little bits of ourselves behind, little reminders. A lifetime of memories, photos, trinkets. Things to remember us by even when were gone.”

Cristina Yang : “There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s the the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all.”
Meredith Grey : “We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people….The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we’ve done, or that’s been done to us….Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise….Sometimes we think we can fix the damage….And sometimes the damage is something we can’t even see.”
Miranda Bailey : “Bad things happen, but you have to move past it. Leave it behind. The sooner, the better. Or it’ll eat away at you and stop you from moving forward.”

Meredith Grey : “We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain, when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.”
Meredith Grey : “Maybe I do believe it, all this ‘meant to be’ stuff. Why not believe it, really? Who doesn’t want more romance in their life? Maybe it’s just up to us to make it happen. To show up and be meant for each other.“
Meredith Grey : “Nobody wakes up thinking: ‘My world will explode today. My world will change.’ Nobody thinks that. But, sometimes, it happens. Sometimes, we walk up, we face our fears. We taken them by the hand. And we stand there waiting, hoping, ready for anything.”
Addison Montgomery : “We don’t get unlimited chances to have the things that we want, and this I know. Nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could have changed your life.”
Elis Grey : “The carousel never stop turning. You can never get off.”
Joan Rater: “As doctors, we’re trained to be skeptical, because our patients lie to us all the time. The rule is, every patient is a liar until proven honest….Lying is bad. Or so we’re told constantly from birth—honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree, whatever….The fact is, lying is a necessity….We lie to ourselves because the truth, the truth freaking hurts.”
Meredith Grey : “If there’s just one piece of advice I can give you. It’s this; when there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope, ask yourself, 10 years from now, you’re gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don’t come free.”

At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate”

Alex Karev : “Doesn’t matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. If follows us home, it changes out lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.”

The sky will clear in an instant and only then, in those quiet moments after the story, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it.”
Meredith Grey : “At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed of. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important that it’s happy ever after just that it’s happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon people will surprise you. And once and a while people may even take your breath away.”
Meredith Grey : “Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here’s the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same and sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.”
