Every since the first episode aired on March 27, 2005, "Grey's Anatomy" has continued to touch our hearts. As we follow Meredith Grey and the rest of the residents through all their struggles from trying to maintain relationships, achieving their goals, and conquering their fears; they have left us with motivating and inspirational quotes that many fans use on a daily basis.

From season one to season twelve, we continue to be inspired and open-minded no matter what the world throws our way and try to incorporate what we have learned from this show into our lives.

1. "You were like coming up for fresh air. It’s like I was drowning and you saved me. It’s all I know.”

2. "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 drink it in. Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow"

3. "He is very dreamy but he is not the sun, you are."

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

5. "There are moments...moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it.. you're somewhere else."

6. "We screw up, we lose our way. Even the best of us have our off days. Still we move forward."

7. "The problem is, fairytales don't come true. It's the nightmares that always seem to become the reality."

8. "Oh, screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain."

9. "Too often, the thing you want is the one thing you can't have."

10. "It's not childish to hold onto hope. It's actually hard- very, very hard."

11. "There don’t have to be harps playing or birds singing or pose petals falling from the sky… And there are definitely days when the romance is dead. But if you look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second. Enjoy the beauty. Feel the magic. Drink it in. ‘Cause it won’t last forever. The romance will fade. Things will happen. People will change. Love will die. But… maybe not today."

12. "So pick me, choose me, love me"

13. "We can be extraordinary together, rather than ordinary apart."

14. "If there's an upside to free-falling, it's the chance you give your friends to catch you."

15. "I don't have to say a word. She just looks at me and sees who I am and how I feel and accepts it. She doesn't try to change it or wants to change it. That person. There's a billion people but I imagine there's only one of her."
