She is dark and twisty, and sometimes I want to be like her.

Meredith Grey, I believe is one of those characters on TV that could actually be the characteristics of a real person. She isn't a princess-type who believe in rainbows and unicorns. She is actually a realistic-type of character. She gives good advice and an even better friend. Her quotes make people stronger, wiser, inspired, older... the list goes on. So, here is a few quotes from Meredith Grey to remind you life will still go on through anything.

1."I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself."

2."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."

3."Just because we can live without something, it doesn't mean we have to."

4. "I think it is important to take the time to tell the people you love how much you love them while they can still hear you."

5. "You gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations. Because the expected is just what keeps us steady… standing… still. The expected is just the beginning. The unexpected… is what changes our lives."

6. "Maybe I do believe it, all this "meant to be" stuff. Why not believe it, really? Who doesn't want more romance in their life? Maybe it's just up to us to make it happen. To show up and be meant for each other. At least that way you'll find out for sure – if you're meant to be or not."

7. "We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future. As if figuring it out will somehow cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and our wildest hopes. But one thing is certain: When it finally reveals itself, the future is never the way we imagined it."

8. "When we follow our hearts, when we choose not to settle, it’s funny isn’t it? A weight lifts. The sun shines a little brighter and for a brief moment at least, we find a little peace."

9. "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."

10 " We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?"

11. " Who gets to determine when the old ends, and the new begins? It's not a day on the calendar, not a birthday, not a new year. It's an event. Big or small. Something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope."

12. " When you're little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding under the bed. When you get older the monsters are different. Self doubt, loneliness, regret. And though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark."

13. " Sometimes it's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose..."

14. " If you can think of a reason; any reason at all why the universe is so screwed up and random and mean; now would be an amazingly good time to tell me because I really need some answers."

15. " Did you say it? "I love you." " I don't ever want to live without you." "You changed my life." "Did you say it?" Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it, but every now and then look around; Drink it in 'cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow."

16. "Cause you never think that the last time is the last time. You think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don't."

17. " There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it ? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever. "

18. " 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."

19. " 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."

Maybe some Meredith Grey will get you through the day.
