Every Thursday we laugh, we fantasize, and oh do we cry, even without wine. For 13 seasons, Grey's Anatomy has taken us through the emotional ringer but still, keeps us coming back for more. Grab the tissues, here's a look back at some of the most soul-crushing quotes.
"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. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all." — Cristina Yang
"Cause you never think the last time's going to be the last time – you think there will be more. You think you have forever. But you don't." — Meredith Grey
"If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing. Even if you're scared that it'll cause problems. Even if you're scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you say it loud and you go from there." — Mark Sloan
"There's this person inside my head. She's brilliant, capable. She's me, only better. And I'm afraid I'll never become this person." –Meredith Grey
"You were like coming up for fresh air. It's like I was drowning and you saved me." –Derek Shepherd
"I don't know why we all hang on to something we know we're better off letting go of. It's like we're scared to lose what we don't even really have. Some of us say we'd rather have something than absolutely nothing, but the truth is, to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all." –Meredith Grey
"Please, don't chase me anymore, unless you're ready to catch me." –Callie Torres
"I will probably hurt you again. And you'll hurt me. And I'll come right back to you again when you do. I accept the risk because you're worth it. Because you matter to me. Because I love you. And I'm not going anywhere." — Meredith Grey
"You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe she was just good for your ego. Or, or maybe she just made you feel better about your miserable life., but you didn't love her. Because you don't destroy the people you love." –Callie Torres
"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 this much pain." –Miranda Bailey
"Don't let what he wants, eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun. You are." –Cristina Yang
"We lose those battles as often as we succeed. The key though, win or lose, is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So you fight until you can't anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender. Fight the good fight. You fight even when it seems inevitable. You're about to go down swinging." Amelia Shepherd
"I can't think about anything or anybody and I can't sleep…I can't breathe, I can't eat, and I love you. I just I- I love you all the time, every minute of every day." –Lexie Grey
"We're supposed to feel. We're supposed to love. And hate. And hurt. And grieve. And break and be destroyed, and we build ourselves to be destroyed again, that is human. That is humanity, that's being alive. That's the point. That's the entire point. Don't avoid it. Don't extinguish it." –Owen Hunt
"If you aren't willing to keep looking for light in the darkest of places without stopping, even when it seems impossible, you will never succeed." –Amelia Shepherd
"There's an end to every storm. Once all the trees have been uprooted, once all the houses have been ripped apart, the wind will hush, the clouds will part, the rain will stop. The sky will clear in an instant and only then, in those quiet moments after the storm, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it." –Meredith Grey
