quotes from grey's anatomy.
this is why it's such a kickass show!
"the heart is an amazing organ, preston taught me that. the heart makes sure that the body receives what it needs. but the most important thing about the heart is that it is an involuntary muscle. you can't control who you love, meredith. you can't control when you lose your heart. the only thing you can do is trust; trust that the person who has your heart realizes its value." -christina
"we're friends, real friends. &that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, i'll still be here." -Merideth (to George)
"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 that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. the castle, well, it may not be a castle. &it's not so important happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. see once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, &once in a while people may even take your breath away." -Merideth
mcdreamy was doing the mcnasty with mchottie? that mcbastard. - george
meredith: i may not be cut out for "bright and shiny".
derek: i'm not either. we can be dull &lifeless together.
"there are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, &we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. commitments are complicated. we may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make, true commitment, takes effort, &sacrifice. which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully."
"i miss him all the time. i miss him. it's not waves, it's constant. all the time." -Izzie
"&sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway." -Merideth
"i don't give a crap what other people think about me. because i am a happily, independent, sucessful woman &i like it that way. only when you say stuff like this, it just, it makes things too hard. so please, don't chase me anymore, unless you're ready to catch me." -Callie
"now that's frustrating, when what your brain tells you, you want &what you actually want don't match up. it's exhausting. &well, it's complicated. but that's life. &life sucks."
"here's the truth about the truth: it hurts. so we lie." -Merideth
"i know im not a lot of things you've gone for in the past, i know, but i would never leave you, i would never hurt you, &i would never stop loving you."
"sometimes you have to make a really big mistake to figure out how to make things right."
"i get to make my own decisions, have my own life, do whatever i choose. &here's the good part, what i choose is you. you're what i want to wake up to, &go to bed with, &do everything else in between."
"you're letting her think you're emotionally available. you're letting her think she has a chance. &there is nothing worse in the world then thinking you have a chance, when you really don't."
"some things you don't want to hear, some things are said cause you can't stay silent, some things are more than what you say they are what you do, some things you keep to yourself, ¬ too often but every now &then some things simply speak for themselves."
"you never think that the last time is the last time. you never think there won't be more. you think you have forever but you don't."
"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. &when you've lost hope, ask yourself if ten 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."
"whoever said, "what you don't know can't hurt you" was a complete &total moron. cause for most people i know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world."
"knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, &even the biggest failure, beats the hell out of never trying."
“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. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross.” -Merideth
“Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.” -Merideth
“Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking, the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.” -Merideth
“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.” -Merideth
“Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?” -Meredith
