Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.
- Grey's AnatomyMeredith: I feel empty…
Cristina: You're lucky, I feel pissed off
It's not hard, it's painful. But it's not hard. You know what to do already. If you didn't, you wouldn't be in so much pain.
- Grey's AnatomyThere are moments... moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it...you're somewhere else.
- Grey's AnatomyTime takes pleasure in kicking our asses. For even the strongest of us it seems to play tricks. Slowing down... hovering until it freezes. Leaving us stuck in a moment- unable to more in one direction or the other.
- Grey's AnatomyThe body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was.
- Grey's AnatomyCristina (to Meredith): You had a dream about the both of them. Threesome? Nice. Just when I think you're boring you rise
- Grey's AnatomyI feel like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast... and I just want to go back to when things were normal.
- Grey's AnatomyI know you think you're scary and damaged. It makes you think you don't deserve good things, but you do. And Derek, he's bad for you. But me, I'm a good thing. And if this is a race, if there is a ring, my hat is in.
- Grey's AnatomyAt any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don't have control over most of them. When we get a chill...goose bumps. When we get excited...adrenaline. The body naturally follows it's impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had. The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was.
- Grey's AnatomyThe fantasy is simple: pleasure is good and twice is much pleasure is better, that pain is bad and no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something.
- Grey's AnatomyAlex: Does it hurt?
Izzie: Yeah
Alex: Where does it hurt?
Izzie: Everywhere...
Alex: Maybe it hurts for a reason.
I guess there really is no starting over, is there?
- Grey's AnatomyMeredith: You are a great guy. You're a wonderful guy. And you may even be the better guy. But-
Finn: He's the one.
Meredith: And I wish he wasnt.
Finn: He's gonna hurt you again and when he does, I wont be here.
Cristina: So, who's the father?
Meredith: I can't be pregnant, can I?
Cristina: Aw, a McBaby!
First, do no harm. As doctors, we pledge to live by this oath. But harm happens and then guilt happens. And there is no oath for how to deal with that. Guilt never goes anywhere on its own, it brings its friends - doubt and insecurity. We are left with a choice. Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on.
- Grey's AnatomyEveryone needs help from time to time. Someone to look out for them to make sure they're okay, to make sure they're ready.
- Grey's AnatomyGeorge: McDreamy was doing the McNasty with McHottie? That McBastard
- Grey's AnatomyYou're here, you're everywhere, and I can't not tell you. You know, I've been not telling you all day because I thought it was kind and I thought I was giving you space. But I can't not tell you because you're here and you're you
- Grey's AnatomyYou deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Somebody who doesn't complicate your life. Somebody who wont hurt you. He's the better guy.
- Grey's AnatomyYou know as well as I do it's not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It's about having people in your life that you love and who love you...that's all that matters.
- Grey's AnatomyThere comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field.
- Grey's AnatomyDenny: Dad, mom...It's me. I'm calling from Seattle Grace Hospital where the beautiful, talented and incredibly stubborn Dr. Isobel Stevens has, she's just given me a brand new heart and promised to marry me. I know we've had our differences and I'm sorry we've been out of touch. Believe it or not, I was trying to make everything better. I know you're angry and I hope you'll forgive me. It turns out, sometimes you have to do the wrong thing. Sometimes you have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they're the only way to find out who you really are. I know who I am now. I know what I want. I've got the love of my life, a new heart and I want you guys to get on the next plane out here and meet my girl. Everything's gonna be different now, I promise. From here on out, Nothing's every going to be the same. I love you, bye
- Grey's AnatomyThere are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and 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, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.
- Grey's AnatomyMeredith: Number one: No flirting. Second: No talking about Derek and C: No giving me the face.
Mark: The face?
Meredith: The McSteamy face. Doesn't work on me. I'm immune.
Mark: If I'd gone off to the woods, I would've invited you to keep me warm.
Meredith: Breaking rules 1, 2 and 3.
