“Cristina: [about a baggie of ashes] What are we looking at? Izzie: Meredith put her Mom in a baggie and brought her to work. Meredith: I had to get her out of my closet, she was haunting me. Alex: Now she’s haunting us all.”

“Meredith: [voice over] My Mom didn’t think she would win, she thought it was a popularity contest, and she wasn’t popular. She was a woman and a fellow, and her arrogance could rub people the wrong way. She hadn’t allowed herself to imagine the possibility of winning, because she wanted it too much. And when they called my mom’s name, she was genuinely shocked. It was validation of all her hard work and sacrifice. She came home and told me she didn’t win the Harper Avery. She earned it.”

“Derek: Addison kissed me. Meredith kissed me. My girlfriend and my wife kissed me on the same day. Bailey: McDreamy, go sit by someone who cares.”

“Bailey: Turn around and walk away. Derek: From what? Bailey: From my intern. Derek: No, I wasn’t. Bailey: Yes you were, come on, look, you can’t do this, you don’t have the right, not anymore. Derek: I just want to find out if she’s okay. Bailey: No, she’s not. She’s a human traffic accident, and everybody’s slowing down to look at the wreckage. She’s doing the best she can with what she has left, and I know you can’t see this ‘cause you’re in it, but YOU CAN’T HELP HER NOW! You’ll only make it worse. Walk away. Leave her to mend.”

“Meredith: [voiceover] As surgeons we are trained to fix what’s broken. The breaking point is our starting line… at work. But in our lives the breaking point is a sign of weakness and we’ll do everything we can to avoid it.”

“Lexie: Where’s your girlfriend? Alex: Back with her husband, I’m guessing…And I don’t have a girlfriend. Lexie: Or a conscience, apparently.”

“Meredith: [voiceover] Lightning doesn’t often strike twice. It’s a once in a lifetime thing. Even if it feels like the shock is coming over and over again. Eventually the pain will go away, the shock will wear off. And you start to heal yourself. To recover from something you never saw coming. But, sometimes the odds are in your favor. If you’re in just the right place at just the right time you can take a helluva hit. And still have a shot at surviving”

“Meredith: [voiceover] Most surgeons grew up being freaks. While other kids played outside, we hold up in our rooms, memorizing the periodic table, hovering for hour over our genuine microscopes, dissecting our first frogs. Imagine how surprised and relieved we were when we grew up and found out that others out there are just as freaky as we were. Same microscopes, same dead frogs, same inexplicable urge to take human beings apart.”

“Owen: I like the dark new scrubs on you. You look good. Are you okay? Cristina: My patient deserves a doctor. Owen: You don’t have to cut, no one’s asked you to… Cristina: I know what’s being asked of me and I’m doing it.”

“Meredith: I’m a surgeon. I do the rescuing. You are not my knight in shining whatever. Derek: So we’re gonna fight because I pulled you out of the tub. Meredith: You have a place. You could sleep at it. And then you don’t have to pull me out of the bathtub. You’re everywhere, all the time, saying things. Derek: This is the happy ever after part. And in the happily ever after, the guy is there all the time, saying things and the girls love it! Meredith: Go to work, I’ll see you there. Derek: And just for the record? I am your knight in shining whatever.”

Grey’s Anatomy: Meredith Grey - 07x02 Shock to the System

[quotegreysanatomy]

Meredith: [voiceover] The truth is painful. Deep down nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can’t help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them, because we owe them at least that much.

[quotegreysanatomy]

Meredith: [voice over] Here’s what I learned my first day at medical school. Think long and hard before choosing to become a surgeon. It takes 100% commitment. You have to be on your A game every single time you walk into that OR. When patients are lying on your table, completely at your mercy, they need to know that when you make that first cut you know what you’re doing. No other specialty requires the time, the focus, the complete dedication… Except maybe being a mom.

[quotegreysanatomy]

Cristina: [voice over] Whenever we think we know the future, even for a second, it changes. Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely, and we’re left with only the choice of what to do next. We can choose to be afraid of it. Just stand there trembling, not moving. Assuming the worst that can happen. Or we step forward into the unknown, and assume it will be brilliant.

Cristina: Text me, and don’t let Owen get all dark and twisty. Take care of him, and Alex, take care of Alex. He needs to be mocked at least once a day, or he’ll be insufferable. Don’t get on any little tiny planes that can crash, or stick your hand in a body cavity that has a bomb in it, or offer your life to a gunman. Don’t do that! Don’t be a hero… you’re my person… I need you alive. You make me brave. Okay, now we dance it out.
