Every little girl should want to grow up to be Cristina Yang. She was by far one of the best characters on Grey's Anatomy and needs to make a re-appearance.
Some of her best quotes include some of the best life lessons anyone could learn from the show:
1. "Oh screw beautiful, I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain."
2. "Being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two different things."
3. "Pretty good isn't good enough. I want to be great."
4. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, stop accepting crap and start demanding more."
5. "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy but he's not the sun, you are."
6. "Have some fire. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You’re on your own. Be on your own.”
7. "Over time it will hurt less and less. And eventually you’ll remember… and it’ll only hurt a little.”
8. "There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we can get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins.”
9. "I can do hot in my sleep, I look hot in scrubs. I'm a hot person."
10. "If there's no food, I'm going home."
11. "I'm not a spoon, I'm a knife. And I'm going to stab you in the eyeball"
12. "Well we went through the scariest thing a person can go through and we survived. So now everyday's just a gift. And now we're all blessed. Blessed to be here, blessed to be doing what we do best, which is saving lives. Every day. One life at a time. We're healed so that we can continue healing others."
13. "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.”
14. "If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the floor. She's my person."
