Grey's Anatomy 5...

A wise man once said you can have anything in life, if you sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is, nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle you better decide how much you're willing to lose.

The point is we can't help who we fall in love with

Too often going after what feels good means letting of what you know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you took so long to build. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming ; when we don't have time to come up with a strategy, pick a side, or measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around, that's when the sacrifice becomes more than we can bear

It's okay the hot ones are always mean. It's like a rule or something

There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile. And then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you cant even figure out why you're making

I just can't tell you what you want to hear which seems to be a theme in my life. Just because you can't tell someone doesn't mean you can't feel it. You can be with someone and be happy and not love them. Or you can love them and not be with them

You're right, I should run. But I'd rather be running towards someone than running away

All her life she's asked me everything... from what color dress she oughta wear to her kindergarten dance, to what she should name her baby. I'm her moma.. it's my job to have an opinion, and its my job to have an answer.

Meredith :This could be a mistake. This. Us. You, you, you're a really nice guy and well, you're, you don't want to get involved with me. If you knew me
Finn : Scary
Meredith : Finn
Finn : And damaged. See, I told you.
Meredith : If you knew me. If you knew my family. If I told you the guys that I've slept with lately. The scary and damaged may actually be more than you can handle.

I can't compete. He's not having an affair. He's not trying to hurt me. He's just... The only people who don't know that Derek loves Meredith are Derek and Meredith. How do I compete with that?

The thing is, I was healthy my whole life till I wasn't. And the last year I've had a lot of time to lie around in bed and think about my life. And the things that I remember best... well, those are the things that I wasn't supposed to do and I did them anyway. See, the thing is, Meredith, life is too damned short to be following these rules.

So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It's pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you'll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst... the mother of all sins... Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you.

Izzie :I told you to tell her how you feel. I did NOT tell you to jump into bed with her.
George: You sent me in there. Was it to humiliate me? I mean, if you knew that she didn't love me, why, what kind of friend does that?
Izzie : You didn't want to hear it. You wanted to keep on being in love with her, George. You did not want to hear it.

We all go through life like bulls in a china shop---a chip here, a crack there, doing damage to ourselves and to other people. the problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done or thats been done to us. sometimes the damage catches us by surprise, sometimes we think we can fix the damage, and sometimes the damage is something we can't even see. we're all damaged it seems, some of us more than others. we carry the damage with us from childhood, then, as grownups, we give as good as we get. ultimately, we all do damage. and then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can

In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones... gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger is not that dangerous, that you can control it. My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all when it comes to destructive behaviour, it did make the top seven.

Meredith: You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you I thought I found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with... I was done. So all the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues.. who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.
Derek: This thing with us is finished. it's over.
Meredith: Finally.
Derek: Yeah, it's done.
Meredith: It is done.

I get to make my own decisions. Have my own life. Do whatever I choose. And here's the good part, so you listen close. What I choose is you . You're what I want to wake up with, and go to bed with, and do everything in between with

Now that's frustrating, when what your brain tells you you want and what you actually want don't match up. Its exhausting. And, well, its complicated. But that's life. And life... sucks

Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive. Family . . . Love . . .Sex. But we only need one thing . . . To actually be alive. We need a beating heart. When our heart is threatened we respond in one of two ways. We either run or . . . we attack. There's a scientific term for this: Fight or flight. It's instinct . . . We can't control it. Or can we?

Derek: Meredith.
Meredith: Just leave me alone.
Derek: I just want to make sure you're alright.
Meredith: No! I'm not alright? Okay? Are you satisfied? I'm not alright. Because you have a wife and you call me a whore! And our dog died, and now you're looking at me again. Stop looking at me.
Derek: I am not looking at you. I am not looking at you.
Meredith: You are looking at me. And you watch me. And Finn has plans. And I like Finn. He's perfect for me, and I'm really trying here to be happy, and I feel like I can't breathe. I can't breathe with you looking at me like that so just stop!
Derek: You think I want to look at you? That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife? I'm married. I have responsibilities. She, she doesn't drive me crazy. She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal. She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veternarian touching her with his hands. Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you.
