Izzie :I told you to tell her how you feel. I did NOT tell you to jump into bed with her.
George: You sent me in there. Was it to humiliate me? I mean, if you knew that she didn't love me, why, what kind of friend does that?
Izzie : You didn't want to hear it. You wanted to keep on being in love with her, George. You did not want to hear it.
We all go through life like bulls in a china shop---a chip here, a crack there, doing damage to ourselves and to other people. the problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done or thats 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. we're all damaged it seems, some of us more than others. we carry the damage with us from childhood, then, as grownups, we give as good as we get. ultimately, we all do damage. and then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can
- Grey's AnatomyIn life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones... gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger is 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 behaviour, it did make the top seven.

So all the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues.. who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.
Derek: This thing with us is finished. it's over.
Meredith: Finally.
Derek: Yeah, it's done.
Meredith: It is done.
I get to make my own decisions. Have my own life. Do whatever I choose. And here's the good part, so you listen close. What I choose is you . You're what I want to wake up with, and go to bed with, and do everything in between with

- Grey's AnatomyHuman beings need a lot of things to feel alive. Family . . . Love . . .Sex. But we only need one thing . . . To actually be alive. We need a beating heart. When our heart is threatened we respond in one of two ways. We either run or . . . we attack. There's a scientific term for this: Fight or flight. It's instinct . . . We can't control it. Or can we?
- Grey's AnatomyDerek: Meredith.
Meredith: Just leave me alone.
Derek: I just want to make sure you're alright.
Meredith: No! I'm not alright? Okay? Are you satisfied? I'm not alright. Because you have a wife and you call me a whore! And our dog died, and now you're looking at me again. Stop looking at me.

Derek: You think I want to look at you? That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife? I'm married. I have responsibilities. She, she doesn't drive me crazy. She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal. She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veternarian touching her with his hands. Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you.

And hating you is the most exaushting and I don't wanna do it anymore
- Grey's AnatomyMeredith: But it meant something, that you called. It meant something to me.
George: It didn't mean anything.
Meredith: Right, ok, sorry.
George: STOP SAYING THAT YOU'RE SORRY! You wanna know something? I knew. I knew you didn't feel that way about me, even during, when we were in bed I knew. I knew and I still let it happen, because, um, well, I figured that one night with you was better than never. So, will you just stop saying that you're sorry? 'Cause you didn't know any better, but I did. And . . . I'm sorry.
I was just looking for a replacement. Looking for something to make me feel better. You deserve better than that.
- Grey's AnatomyCristina: I didn't like teenage girls when I was a teenage girl.
Meredith: I wore a lot of black. Had the whole angry pink hair thing going on. Wouldn't have been caught dead at a prom.
Cristina: My mother made me go. My date barfed on my dress and then tried to feel me up
Let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn't your first pick. You know, you don't like the players. You hate the way they play the game. You even think the quarterback is full of crap. The quarterback's a pain in the ass you don't owe a damned thing to. But, it's your team. You don't quit. You don't talk to the press. You don't yell to the coach. You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you, you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.
- Grey's AnatomyLove means never having to use your girlfriend as a HUMAN SHIELD!
- Grey's AnatomyBut sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, they just can't love you back in the same way. Believe me, son. Living with a woman who can't love you back ... way lonelier than being alone.
- Grey's AnatomyDerek: I just didn't know you were dating.
Meredith: You had to know it would happen eventually
Derek: Eventually feels a lot different than actually.
Meredith: It does.
Derek: It's surprisingly painful.
Meredith: It gets better.
I know you. You don't want to move but I can't always be the one that takes a step. Any more steps and I'm walking away.
- Grey's AnatomyI'm a pretty girl. I'm not being arrogant, its just, its just kind of a fact. For a long time I made a career from my looks, so I get it, I'm a pretty girl. And not in a "from a certain angle" way, in an obvious way. It's the blonde thing and the big boobs thing, big boobs are a key to obvious pretty if you know what I'm saying. Its how men see me. I'm not a smart girl or an interesting girl, I'm a pretty girl. The blonde and the boobs it confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. And I'm used to them walking away when they realize. But then Denny goes and asks me to marry him. He doesn't make me feel like I'm a pretty girl. He makes me feel like. like me. I think he might know me
- Grey's AnatomyAll I want to do is forget her. All I want to do is escape her and, you know, I can't.
- Grey's AnatomyYou just have to know. And when you don't know? No one can fault you for it. You do what you can, when you can, while you can. When you can't, you can't.
- Grey's AnatomyGratitude. Appreciation. Giving thanks. No matter what words you use, it all means the same thing: happy. We're supposed to be happy, grateful. For friends, family. Happy to just be alive. Whether we like it or not.
- Grey's AnatomyCallie: I said I love you. I said it. I said it outloud, to your face. And ever since.. I've never said that to a guy before, never. And now I'm just this idiot that says I love you and gets avoided.
George: No, I'm not avoiding you. I promise.
Callie: You gonna say it back?
George: No.
Callie: I'm humilitated. No, George, let me go. Let me go, let me go.
George: Stop fighting me. If I say it back right now, you know I'm just saying it cause you said it to me. When I, when I say I love you, I wanna mean it, because. You just hafta give me some time to mean it.
Callie: I hate that I'm so into you.
Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed. If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay. I told Mrs. Snyder that when I was grown up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Mrs. Snyder said that I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone, and if I did, we'd be together forever. Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending...most of the time. And sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.
- Grey's AnatomyIt means you have a choice. You have a choice to make. And I don't want to rush you into making the decision before you're ready. This morning I was going to come over.. I was going to say ... What I wanted to say was... But now all I can say is that... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for, ever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I, I just, I just want you to take your time, you know. Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.
- Grey's AnatomyDont take it personally. It's the doctor thing. Four years of highschool, four years of college, four years of med school - by the time we graduate, we're in our late 20s and we've never done anything except go to school and think about science. Time stops. We're socially retarded. I mean, look at me. I'm in love with a guy who won't say he loves me back and here I am in his kitchen cooking, just hoping that he comes home and notices me. I'm a total freak - I'm that girl in the back of that class who eats her hair. And Meredith, she's 17 years old, we're all 17 years old. This is highschool with scalpels.
