Sometimes, you just have those days where no one knows the right thing to say… That’s when we must turn to Grey’s…
1. “Each of you comes here today a hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition.
Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure and two of your will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That’s up to you.” – Richard Webber
2. “Don’t let what he wants eclipse what you need. He’s very dreamy… But he’s not the sun. You are.” – Christina Yang
3. “People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal history. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don’t. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cuts, long gone, the pain still lingers.” – Meredith Grey
4. “Shut up. Just shut up. You don’t get to tell me that we’re not together. We are together. Because I love you and you love me, and none of the rest of it matters.” – Arizona Robins
5. “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. There’s a reason these fixes are called temporary.
They were never meant to last forever. So what happens when you’re faced with a fix that’s more permanent? Do you fight it? Do you try to resist? Or do you step back and decide that maybe acceptance is the best fix of all?” – Meredith Grey.
6. “When I was five, my mom lost me in a park. I don’t remember much except, that one minute I was riding the carousel and the next she was gone. I don’t remember how I found her. I don’t remember how I got home. All I remember is what happened next. She told me not to worry.
She told me everything would be fine. Funny isn’t it, the way memory works? The things you can’t quite remember, and the things you can never forget. The carousel never stops turning. She told me not to worry; she told me everything would be fine. Funny, the way memory works. The things you can’t quite remember, and the things you can never forget.” – Meredith Grey
7. “For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can’t get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can’t cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don’t want to. ‘Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it’s everything.” – Alex Karev
8. “I think she’s more than you bargained for, but I think when the world gives you more than you bargained for, you usually end up glad you got it.” – Richard Webber
9. “There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins…” – Christina Yang
10. “I grew up in Beverly Hills. The only Chinese I know is from Mr. Chow’s menu. Besides, I’m Korean…” – Christina Yang
