28 Grey’s Anatomy Quotes
ABC
A lot of drama, colorblind cast, and, of course, McDreamy makes Grey’s Anatomy so great.
Unlike the other similar shows, main characters are women, enthusiastic and capable to manage their dramatic private lives and jobs.
Since this show is huge hit from the first episode, no wonder it’s running for twelwe seasons to date.
Grey’s Anatomy is also known for inspiring and wise monologs, so we must pay tribute to remarkable monologs and quotes from one of the best medical dramas ever.
Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don’t know what they want.
– Meredith Grey

The human body is a highly pressurized system. The blood pressure measures the force of blood pulsating through the arteries. It’s important to keep this pressure regulated. Low or inadequate pressure can cause weakness or failure.
It’s when the pressure gets too high that problems really occur. If the pressure continues to increase, a closer examination is called for. Because it’s the best indicator that something is going terribly wrong.– Meredith Grey

The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We cana��t pretend we havena��t been told. Wea��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 todaya��s possibility under tomorrowa��s rug, until we cana��t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves, what Benjamin Franklin meant:
That knowing, is better than wondering. That waking, is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst, most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.
– Meredith Grey

Failure is inevitable, unavoidable but failure should never get the last word. You have to hold on to what you want. You have to not take no for an answer and take whata��s coming to you. Never give in, never give up. Stand up. Stand up and take it.

Yes or no. In or out. Up or down. Live or die. Hero or coward. Fight or give in. I’ll say it again to make sure you hear me. The human life is made up of choices. Live or die. That’s the important choice. And it’s not always in our hands.
– Derek Shepherd
