" Grey's Anatomy" is one of those shows where even if you haven't seen it, you have at least heard of it. For those of you who have seen it, many of you are probably like me and have binge-watched the entire series in a matter of weeks. For those of you who have been following the show from the beginning, I admire and applaud your patience. "Grey's Anatomy" has inspired me, left me in tears and helped me pave the way for my future career in the field of medicine. Through all of this, the characters have become like my family and left me with a few quotes that have really stuck with me.
1. "I am feeling the need to do some drinking. Actually, I’m feeling the need to do some crying, but my tear ducts seem to be too proud, so I am going to do some drinking instead." --Addison Shepard
2. "At some point you just have to let go, move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow" --Meredith Grey
3. "Sometimes it's good to be scared, it still means you have something to lose." --Meredith Grey
4. "You can be with a person and be happy with them and not love them. And you can love somebody and not want to be with them. You don’t need to love someone to want them... It’s exhausting. And, well, it’s complicated. But that’s life. And life…sucks." --George O'Malley
5. "Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying." --Meredith Grey
6. "We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it." --Meredith Grey
7. "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
8. "There are moments, moments that in a split second your life changes forever and before you know it... you're somewhere else." --Derek Shepherd
9. "You can build a house out of anything. Make it as strong as you want. But a home, a home is more fragile than that. A home is made of the people you fill it with. And people can be broken, sure, but any surgeon knows, what's broken can be mended. What's hurt can be healed. That no matter how dark it gets the sun's going to rise again." --Meredith Grey
10. "If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this: when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself in 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don't come free." --Meredith Grey
