I've only recently discovered Grey's Anatomy, but in the short time that I've been watching, it has completely changed my life. I think we all need to sit back, appreciate, and say a little "amen" to the one and only: Meredith Grey.

1. "Deep down, everyone wants to believe they can be hardcore. But being hardcore isn't just about being tough, it's about acceptance. Sometimes you have to give yourself permission to not be hardcore for once." (Season 4, Episode 6)
   
   
2. " With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal." (Season 2, Episode 20)
3. "We want success. We want to be the best that we can be. So we fight like hell to get those things. Anything else feels like death." (Season 7, Episode 21)
4. "It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away." (Season 4, Episode 2)
5. "You have to understand you might lose it all. But if you take that chance, if you invest wisely, the payoff might just surprise you." (Season 6, Episode 8)
   
   
6. "The second we stop pushing ourselves, something terrible happens. Something we never see coming." (Season 8, Episode 7)
   
   
7. "Because the snap judgements, the ones that come to us quickly and easily, without hesitation, they're the ones that haunt us forever." (Season 5, Episode 12)
8. "That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying." (Season 1, Episode 6)
9. "Most of our fantasies dissolve when we wake, banished to the back of our mind, but sometimes we're sure if we try hard enough — we can live the dream." (Season 3, Episode 3)

A toast to the wisest woman on television! May she forever illuminate our drama-filled lives and usher her quirky wisdom upon us in real-life-people terms.

Happy Grey's Watching :)
