Because medicine is changing, constantly. You're the person who taught me that, and we... everyone here needs to be able to change along with it or get left behind.

Miranda

April: How do you do this?
Jackson: Well, you're kind of doing it. I mean, you dip your toe. You start by dipping your toe into the water, and then eventually you learn to swim.
April: That's easy for you to say, you probably dipped your toe all over town.

Alex: You're freaking out because you got some sword hanging over your head? Me too, and I can't do a damn thing about it except wait. You can fix your stupid sword. Go home and get the friggin' execution over with.
Amelia: I did. I told him. The sword fell.

You should know, they'll hate you. The staff. It happens everywhere I go. Everyone hates the agent of change. I'm used to it. I'm good at it. But you should be prepared that they'll hate you too for bringing me on.

Eliza

Arizona: You've got a lot of game. You have a very sexy... somethin'-somethin' going on, believe me. But there's a thing about you that bugged me. You walk around like you own the place. It's annoying.
Eliza: Mm, it's charming. Do you want to grab a drink some time?
Arizona: See? That. That is what I mean. No, I do not want to grab a drink with you.
Eliza: Yes, yes you do.
Arizona: Shut up. Fine. I'll have a drink with you.
Eliza: And I promise you will not regret it.
Arizona: Go away.

Alex: I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Jo: Alex, you've said that. I know.
Alex: I mean for the things I said. You're not trash. Don't ever let anyone say that. I'm sorry, and I.... you're not trash, Jo.

Alex: You'll be okay.
Meredith: Me? This is about you. You think this is noble, what you're doing? It isn't. It's giving up. And it's buying into everything you've ever said about yourself, and I won't let you do it.
Alex: You'll be fine.
Meredith: You are not going to jail.
Alex: You'll be just be fine.
Meredith: Stop making this about me. Stop using me as an excuse to make yourself feel better. Of course I will be be fine. I'm always fine. Don't you know that? This is about you. You will be destroyed. Your life, your career, everything... will be finished. Who you are will be gone.

Miranda: I made a decision about what is best for the hospital moving forward, and I didn't want my personal feelings, my very strong personal feelings to get in the way of that decision. If I do that, I won't be able to do this job.
Richard: Bailey, we reach into people's bodies and hold their lives and their futures in our hands. There's nothing more personal than this job, in how we treat a patient, in how we raise our doctors and teach them how to do this work. Every decision that you make should be a personal one. If it isn't, then you have no business being chief.

Alex: Don't go anywhere, no matter what happens, okay?
Jo: I don't want him to find me. He can't find me.
Alex: This is your life. You're Jo Wilson. You belong here.

Why is no one making any sense?

Maggie

Miranda: You're saying you won't let Minnick into your OR?
Meredith: I think a lot of us are saying that, yes.
Miranda: Then you no longer have an OR. You're suspended. Effective immediately. Go home, Dr. Grey.

I always taught my daughter, if she wanted to know something, don't ask the internet. Find the smartest person in the room, and if they're not smarter than you...find another room.
