i am addicted to ...

grey's anatomy!!!instead of doing what i am supposed to be doing ie finishing my health promotion social marketing essay and studying biopharmacy,i am reading quotes from grey's anatomy in facebook.oh i just love the feature!!!below are some of the quotes i love and remember clearly from some memorable scenes in the show.

She's my person. If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person

Knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

I don't give a crap what people think about me because I am a happily independent, successful woman and I like it that way.

Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.

The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.

Moments. That's all you get with the people you love.

My perfect little life. Have you been paying attention at all?

Dr. Meredith Grey: You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

And sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we still hope...

I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke.

And this is why some species eat their young.

Alex: "Iz, you didn't want me."
Izzie: "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want you to want anybody else."

The contest is a lion fight. So, chin up, put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don't lick your wounds, celebrate them
The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor.
you're in a lion fight, just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar.

IZZIE: "You need to bond with your people. People are what matters."
MEREDITH: "I hate people."

It's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose.

patient's history is as important as their symptoms. It's what helps us decide if heart burn's a heart attack... if a headache's a tumor. Sometimes patients will try to re-write their own histories. They'll claim they don't smoke, or forget to mention certain drugs... which in surgery can be the kiss of death. We can ignore it all we want, but our history eventually always comes back to haunt us

There's a little animal in all of us and maybe that's something to celebrate. Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, and 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 others keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though theres 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

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're no better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream. But deep down, we're all still rooting around in the primordial ooze, biting, lying, scratching out an existence in the cold dark world like the rest of the tree toads and sloths.

Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here's the truth...the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is...everything.

He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told, we've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day, still sometimes we have to see for ourselves, we have to make our own mistakes, we have to learn our own lessons, we have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves that knowing is better than wondering, That waking is better than sleeping and that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistakes beats the hell out of never trying

I'm in love with you. I've been in love withyou... forever. And I know it's a little late. I know it's a little late for me to be tell you that. You have a choice to make. I'm just asking you to take your time. Take all the time you need. Because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make - I chose wrong."

You people are on your own today. I have things to do. Important things. And while I am doing those things, you will remember that whatever your pathetic personal problems, there are people out there with actual problems. And you will ask yourself in every situation: What Would Bailey Do?.... I'm not saying I'm the God. I am saying I am your God. And my wrath is large and painful

Before we were doctors, we were med students, which meant we spend a lot of time of studying chemistry. Organic chemistry, biochemistry, we learned it all. But when you're talking about human chemistry only one thing matters: either you've got it or you don't.

Four years of high school, 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. Ha, 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, just hoping he comes home and notices me. I'm that girl, who sits in the back of the class and eats her hair. And Meredith she's 17 years old, we're all 17 years old. This is high school with scalpels, Finn.

Mark: "Do you ever feel old?"
Derek: "I'm young. I'm a fetus."
Mark: "Nah, I mean you ever feel like there's gonna be a time when new techniques pass you by?"
Derek: "I'm a genius and a scholar."
Mark: "Shut up.
