Grey's Anatomy 7...

It means you have a choice. You have a choice to make. And I don't want to rush you into making the decision before you're ready. This morning I was going to come over.. I was going to say ... What I wanted to say was... But now all I can say is that... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for, ever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I, I just, I just want you to take your time, you know. Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.

Dont take it personally. It's the doctor thing. Four years of highschool, four years of college, four years of med school - by the time we graduate, we're in our late 20s and we've never done anything except go to school and think about science. Time stops. We're socially retarded. I mean, look at me. I'm in love with a guy who won't say he loves me back and here I am in his kitchen cooking, just hoping that he comes home and notices me. I'm a total freak - I'm that girl in the back of that class who eats her hair. And Meredith, she's 17 years old, we're all 17 years old. This is highschool with scalpels.

Cristina: Your mother wants to have coffee with me.
Burke: And?
Cristina: And .. she thinks I'm a racist. Oh, and a stripper. She thinks I'm a racist stripper.

Dark and twisty Meredith. I'm not dark and twisty Meredith. And if I am, it's because I live my life under a banner of avoidence. I avoid. I'm an avoider

Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.

Meredith: I feel empty...
Cristina: You're lucky, I feel pissed off

It's not hard, it's painful. But it's not hard. You know what to do already. If you didn't, you wouldn't be in so much pain.

There are moments... moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it...you're somewhere else.

Time takes pleasure in kicking our asses. For even the strongest of us it seems to play tricks. Slowing down... hovering until it freezes. Leaving us stuck in a moment- unable to more in one direction or the other.

The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was.

Cristina (to Meredith): You had a dream about the both of them. Threesome? Nice. Just when I think you're boring you rise

I feel like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast... and I just want to go back to when things were normal.

I know you think you're scary and damaged. It makes you think you don't deserve good things, but you do. And Derek, he's bad for you. But me, I'm a good thing. And if this is a race, if there is a ring, my hat is in.

At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don't have control over most of them. When we get a chill...goose bumps. When we get excited...adrenaline. The body naturally follows it's impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had. The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was.

The fantasy is simple: pleasure is good and twice is much pleasure is better, that pain is bad and no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something.

Alex: Does it hurt?
Izzie: Yeah
Alex: Where does it hurt?
Izzie: Everywhere...
Alex: Maybe it hurts for a reason.
