Meredith Grey Quotes
Dr. Wyatt: If he's with Rose that means he's not with you. And do you know why he's not with you? You're scared.
Meredith: Are you calling me a coward?
Dr. Wyatt: I think you are very frightened Dr. Grey.
Meredith: Are you calling me a coward?
Dr. Wyatt: What do you think?
Dr. Wyatt: He's with Rose.
Meredith: You know what, I'm not going to do this.
Dr. Wyatt: He's with Rose.
Meredith: WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?!?
Dr. Wyatt: Because if you can't see what is wrong with that sentence, He's with Rose, we're never going to get anywhere, He's with Rose.
Meredith: OKAY! So he's with Rose. SO WHAT?!
Dr. Wyatt: Look, let me draw the parallels for you. The tragic patient dies alone while the love of his life is literally in the next room. That's you.
Meredith: What are you talking about? I'm not dying alone.
Dr. Wyatt: Oh. But I think you are, and you're telling yourself you're a hero, when in reality all you are is alone.
Meredith: THAT is a load of crap!
Dr. Wyatt: Look, I'm just going to say this because your insurance only covers 20 sessions and I feel we should get right to the point. That was a load of crap. It was not a good day, your patient died alone unable to tell the love of his life how he felt.
Meredith: Yeah, but he did it for his boyfriend. I mean, I actually think it was kind of heroic.
Dr. Wyatt: It's a load of crap.
Meredith: Stop saying that!
Meredith: [narrating] It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. I was a good doctor, even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.

Meredith: [narrating] We like to think that we are rational beings; humane, conscientious, civilized, thoughtful. But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear we are not better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream, but deep down we are still routing around in the primordial ooze; biting, clawing, scratching out an existence in the cold, dark world like the rest of the tree-toads and sloths.

Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, a pack to run with. We may feel caged, we may feel trapped, but still as humans we can find ways to feel free. We are each other’s keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though there’s a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream and love. And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve.

But it's also a beginning... of something incredible. Something new. Something unpredictable. Something true. Something worth loving. Something worth missing. Something that will change your life... forever.
