Meredith Grey Quotes (Page 55)

Meredith: [narrating] There’s a reason surgeons learn to wield scalpels. We like to pretend we’re hard, cold scientists. We like to pretend we're fearless. But the truth is we become surgeons because somewhere deep down we think we can cut away that which haunts us. Weakness, frailty, death.

Meredith: Lexie's not that bad is she?

Cristina: She's an intern. That's reason enough.
Meredith: Oh, I think you may be the new Nazi.
Cristina: Damn right.

Meredith: I'm not ready right now. But things can stay the way they are, and I can get ready. I'll get ready.
Derek: Things can't stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator, the on-call room... and maybe you'll get ready. And I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
Meredith: Okay, then...
Derek: Yeah, but what if, what if while I'm waiting, I meet someone who is ready to give me what I want from you?
Meredith: What if you do?
Derek: I don't know...

Meredith: So, I got Alex to cover for me so I can leave right after I round on my patients. 48 uninterrupted hours!
Derek: Yeah yeah... um... you know, maybe this is not a good weekend.
Meredith: What did Lexie say about me?
Derek: She didn't say anything. I did all the talking. Oh, don't blame her.
Meredith: So what, you're friends with my sister now? I mean, you talked to the other Grey about me?
Derek: You know what I talked about with the other Grey? All the things this Grey won't let me say.
Meredith: You can say anything to me.

Meredith: [narrating] Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

Meredith: [narrating] In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover... there’s really only one thing you can say.

Meredith: I will take the ER and your interns.
Cristina: Are you sure?
Meredith: Take the surgery. Makes you feel better and you start to regain strength. [leaves]
Alex: I saw the whole thing, Yang. You can stop pretending.
Cristina: Oh I'm not pretending. I'm sad. I'm very sad. Me so sad!
Alex: Yes, you tried.
Cristina: Hey, forget it. Sad is mine. Go, find your own pretend-emotion.
