We all love Meredith Grey from "Grey's Anatomy" as well as her wise words she leaves us with at the beginning and ending of every episode. Well here are a few favorites from last season (Season 11).
The carousel never stops turning. -- Episode 21
Why do bad things happen to good people? We ask that question so often it’s become a cliche. But that’s because bad things do happen to good people, constantly. You just have to hope when it’s your turn, you’ll know what to do, how to cope, how to persevere. But the truth is, you don’t know how you will react to a worst-case scenario. None of us do, not until it happens. -- Episode 20
Thing about love is…when it’s good, it’s so very good and when it’s bad, it hurts so much. And if you can’t find a way to balance all those ups and downs, it will make you crazy. -- Episode 19
Picture the life you dreamed of living, the person you pictured being with. Picture the job you dreamed you’d have. Are you living the life you envisioned for yourself? Are you who you wanted to be when you grew up? -- Episode 18
When we go without certain things for long enough, it’s easy to forget just how much we need them. We forget what we had once, we forget what it’s like to live with a thing. Not that we need but we want. That’s why it’s so important for us to remind ourselves, for us to remember, just because we can live without something doesn’t mean we have to. -- Episode 17
Things are not always what they appear to be. They are often an indicator of something bigger going on deep underneath. Symptoms, red flags, warning signs. Things we should pay attention to, things we shouldn’t ever ignore, things that are bad, things that could really hurt us, things that it might just be too late to fix. -- Episode 16
I never placed much value on wondering about an after life. My concern was always this life. What would I do with it? How would I make my mark? I wanted to break new ground. I wanted to leave a legacy. I wanted my life, my brain, my existence to mean something. The thing I never really thought about though, the thing I never really wrapped my brain around until now was that in order to do that, in order to be remembered, in order to leave something significant behind, you have to leave. -- Episode 15
Why do we even try when the barriers are so high and the odds are so low? Why don’t we just pack it in and go home? It’d be so, so much easier. It's because in the end, there’s no glory in easy. No one remembers easy. They remember the blood and the bones and the long agonizing fight to the top. And that is how you become legendary. -- Episode 14
When the shock where’s off, when the body can accept that a trauma has happened, when it can let down its defenses, it’s a scary moment. It’s vulnerable. The shock response had protected us and it just might have saved us. -- Episode 9
Its hard to give second chances. It’s even harder to ask for them. A chance to do it again knowing what you know now, what you’ve learned. A chance to do it completely different. A chance to right our wrongs, to correct our mistakes. A chance to try and start over from scratch. -- Episode 7
There can be beauty in getting lost. Sometimes we have to get lost to find each other and sometimes we find each other, only to get lost all over again. We can’t always control it, the thing that’s going to set you adrift. And as you stand there on your front porch staring at the life you are about to leave behind, you have to accept it’s gone, it’s lost. Just like you. All you can do now is stand very still, breathe in the moment and try to be open to wherever the wind’s going to take you next. -- Episode 1
