"Grey's Anatomy" isn't just a TV show. It's a lifeline. Every "Grey's Anatomy" episode I watch, I walk away having learned a life lesson. The majority of these lessons revolve around heartbreak because nobody knows pain like the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. After 13 seasons, Shonda Rhimes knows exactly what to say to mend a broken heart. Here are 20 best quotes from "Grey's Anatomy" that can heal a broken heart:
1. "He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are." -Cristina Yang
2. "Pain: You just have to ride it out. Hope it goes away on its own. Hope the wound heals on its own. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside." -Meredith Grey
3. "We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning 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 whole 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." -Meredith Grey
4. "You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Somebody who doesn't complicate your life. Somebody who won't hurt you." -Derek Shepherd
5. "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." -Meredith Grey
6. "When it hurts so much you can't breathe, that's how you survive. By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly, you won't feel this way. It won't hurt this much." -Derek Shepherd
7. "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
8. "You can have the worst crap in the world happen to you and you can get over it. All you gotta do is survive." -Alex Karev
9. "When we follow our hearts when we choose not to settle. It's funny, isn't, it? A weight lift, the sun shines a little brighter, and for a brief moment, we find a little peace." -Meredith Grey
10. "Cause when the bad things come, they come out of nowhere. The bad things come suddenly, with no warning. But we forget that sometimes that's how the good things come too." -Meredith Grey
11. "Walk tall. All you can do is be brave enough to get out there. You fought. You loved. You lost. Walk tall." -Mark Sloan
12. "It's one of those things people say, 'You can't move on until you let go of the past.' Letting go is the easy part, it's the moving on that's painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can't stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let it go. Move on. Becuase no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow." -Meredith Grey
13. "I'm sure it must feel as though everything is coming apart, but you can get through this." -Cristina Yang
14. "Oh, screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, then compliment my brain." -Cristina Yang
15. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more." -Cristina Yang
16. "I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke." -Meredith Grey
17. "You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe she was good for your ego. Or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her because you don't destroy the person that you love." -Callie Torres
18. "It just doesn't make any sense. Why would he bring these two people together, make them fall in love, open up to one another, make them feel like they were meant to be together and then just pull them apart?" -April Kepner
19. "I have to walk away from you, for me." -Jackson Avery
20. "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
So thank you "Grey's Anatomy" for giving me the hope and strength to get through what seems impossible, for I know that he is not the sun, I am.
