There's a new season of Grey's Anatomy airing right now, but I am behind the eight ball, waiting for the episodes to be released to Netflix. While I wait, I've compiled some of the most impactful quotes from the last twelve seasons of Grey's....cry with me.
"You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be the big ones, they are never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It's the regular days, the ones that start out normal. Those are the days that end up being the biggest."
Season 5, Episode 22
"Doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, Trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that’s the point: All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward, it’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up."

"I want you to promise me something. Whenever you feel bad about this, I want you to say, "It was an accident. I didn't mean to." I know that. But you have to know it, too. So you have to promise me that you will say, "I didn't mean to.""

"Pain comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain. The normal pains we live with everyday. Then there's the kind of pain you can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else... Makes the rest of your world fade away, until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anesthetize , ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, and for some of us the best way to manage pain is to just push through it."
