1- “At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that’s how we’re made. So you can waster your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here’s what I know. If you’re willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view form the other side… is spectacular.” - Meredith Grey - Season 1
2-“ I think you can’t wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself.” – Meredith Grey- Season 2
3-“It turns out sometimes you have to do the wrong thing. Sometimes you have to make a big mistake to figure our how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they’re the only way to find out who we really are.”- Denny Duquette-Season 3
4-“Sometimes it’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose.” - Richard Webber- Season 4
5-“Chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don’t lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You’re in a lion fight, Stevens. Just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t know how to roar.” - Richard Webber - Season 4
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 - Season 5
7-“Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone” - Lexie Grey - Season 6
8-“Oh, screw beautiful. I’m brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain.” - Cristina Yang - Season 7
9-“Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don't realize they're a freak until it's way to late to change it. No matter how much of a freak you end up being, chances are there's still someone out there for you. Unless of course, they've already moved on. Because when it comes to love, even freaks can't wait forever.” - Meredith Grey - Season 7
10-“ You have to go back to the beginning to understand the end.” – Teddy - Season 8
11-“Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely, and we’re left with only the choice of what to do next. We can choose to be afraid of it, to stand there trembling not moving, assuming the worst that can happen or we step forward into the unknown and assume it will be “brilliant.” –Cristina Yang - Season 10
12-“We're all going to die. We don't get much say over how or when, but we do get to decide how we're gonna live. So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More Compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.” - Richard Webber - Season 11
13-“Nobody's memory is perfect or complete. We jumble things up. We lose track of time. We are in one place... then another and it all feels like one long, inescapable moment. So, what does it mean? What do we take away? Which pieces will haunt us? Hurt us? End us? Inspire us? It's just like my mother used to say, the carousel never stops turning. You can't get off.” – Meredith Grey- Season 11
14-“ 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 - Season 11
15-“ It’s harder to love somebody than to walk away from them.” – Amelia Sheppard - Season 12
