Since it’s premier in 2005, Grey’s Anatomy has become a much loved TV show and many of the characters are now household names. It’s brought us laughter, tears, heartache, drama as well as a colorful cast of characters that we can’t help but become a little too attached it. 10 seasons later and it’s still as popular as ever and has even picked up a few awards along the way.
One of the most stand out things for me about the show is the script. Episode after episode and season after season Grey’s Anatomy continues to bring us some of the most thought-provoking, inspirational and uplifting lines on TV. Despite the show often dealing with upsetting issues, Grey’s is definitely the show to watch when you’re feeling down. The characters are true survivors and no matter how bad things seem they always make their way through it, teaching us some valuable lessons along the way.
Here are some of my favorite Grey’s Anatomy quotes to life your spirits…
Quotes For When Things Are Falling Apart
When it feels like everything is falling apart and it’s hard to see how things will ever get better, sometimes we all need a little reminder of the fact that everything happens for a reason. It’s often a hard lesson to learn but the characters in Grey’s Anatomy have summed it up perfectly.
Denny Duquette: It turns out sometimes you have to do the wrong thing. Sometimes you have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they’re the only way to find out who we really are.
Mr. Levangie: I know it’s not perfect, but it’s life. Life is messy sometimes.
Quotes To Make You Think
Like everyone, I love a great quote that makes me think-a quote that really puts things into perspective. All 10 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy are littered with such quotes but these two are my personal favorites…
Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days.
Meredith Grey: If there’s just one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this–when there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope, ask yourself in 10 years from now, you’re gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don’t come free.
Quotes For When You Need To Smile
Great quotes don’t always have to make you think or inspire you to lift your spirits. Maybe you’re just having a down day and could do with a little cheering up. No matter how I’m feeling, these quotes never fail to bring a smile to my face.
Katie Bryce: My head is full.
Meredith Grey: It’s called thinking. Go with it.
Meredith Grey: There don’t have to be harps playing or birds singing or pose petals falling from the sky…And there are definitely days when the romance is dead. But if you look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second. Enjoy the beauty. Feel the magic. Drink it in. ‘Cause it won’t last forever. The romance will fade. Things will happen. People will change. Love will die. But…maybe not today.
Meredith Grey: We’re friends, real friends, and that means no matter how long it takes, when you finally decide to look back, I’ll be here.
Quotes To Inspire You
What could be better to lift our spirits than a little inspiration? The characters in Grey’s Anatomy spend a lot of time feeling defeated by relationships, work and life in general (sounds familiar, huh?) but they always find a way through it. Fingers crossed their inspiring words will help you when you need it most too.
Meredith Grey: At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
Meredith Grey: Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.
Grey’s Anatomy is filled with hundreds of uplifting, heartwarming and inspiring quotes. I’ve highlighted just a small few, they really are just the tip of the iceberg. If you’ve never watched Grey’s Anatomy, my only advice is to fix that ASAP! There’s a reason it’s aired 10 seasons and is still going strong, after all. Along the way you’ll meet some incredible characters and hear some of the best lines to lift your spirits that TV has to offer.
