- “Don’t let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice, so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice and when you do, fill the damn silence.”
- “Why do we often run for the hills when we feel the slightest connection? Why do we feel compelled to fight what we’re hardwired to do? Maybe it’s because when we find someone or something to hold on to, that feeling becomes like air. And we’re terrified we’re going to lose it. And trust me, you can get pretty good at the alone thing. But most things are better when they’re shared with someone else.”
- “We’re adults. How did that happen, and how can we make it stop?”
- “Sometimes it takes a huge loss to remind you of what you care about the most. Sometimes you find yourself becoming stronger as a result, wiser, better to deal with the next big disaster that comes along. Sometimes but not always.”
- “You don’t have to be tough every minute of every day. It’s okay to let down your guard. In fact, there are moments when it’s the best thing you can possibly do — as long as you choose your moments wisely.”
- “They say death is hardest on the living.”
- “Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have.”
- “Letting go is the easy part. It’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.”
- “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
- “Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out. And decide.”
- “The ties that bind us are sometimes impossible to explain.”
- “Responsibility, it really does suck.”
- “When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith. And trust that you can survive this. Maybe you just need to hold on tight. And no matter what, don’t let go.”
- “Why does it feel so good to get rid of things? To unload? To let go?”
- “Some wounds we carry with us everywhere, and though the cut’s long gone, the pain still lingers.”
- “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 life drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.”
- “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 if 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.”
- “There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile and then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you can’t even figure out why you’re making.”
- “We’re friends, real friends, and that means no matter how long it takes, when you finally decide to look back, I’ll still be here.”
- “You think that true love is the only thing that could crush your heart, the thing that could take your life and light it up or destroy it.”
Meredith Grey Narration Quotes

Here is the other Meredith Grey quotes that you can copy-paste.
- “Being an adult: totally overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by the hot shoes and great sex and no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Being an adult is responsibility. Responsibility really does suck ... Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent.”
- “Pick me. Choose me. Love me.”
- “You can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself.”
- “We’re friends, real friends, and that means no matter how long it takes, when you finally decide to look back, I’ll still be here.”
- “I’m all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don’t get to call me a whore.”
- “You gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations. Because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing, still. The expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives.”

- “I think it is important to take the time to tell the people you love how much you love them while they can still hear you.”
- “Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, try and keep things the same. Things can't stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow.”
- “When we follow our hearts, when we choose not to settle, it’s funny. Isn’t it? A weight lifts, the sun shines a little brighter, and for a brief moment, we find a little peace.”
- “There’s an end to every storm. Once all the trees have been uprooted. Once all the houses have been ripped apart. The wind will hush, the clouds will part, the rain will stop, the sky will clear in an instant. But only then, in those quiet moments after the storm, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it.”
- “Failure is inevitable, unavoidable. But failure should never get the last word. You have to hold on to what you want ... Never give in, never give up. Stand up. Stand up and take it.”
- “Vulnerability isn't the opposite of strength. It's a necessary part. You have to force yourselves to open up, to expose ourselves, to offer everything we have and just pray that it's good enough. Otherwise, we'll never succeed.”

- “We have to constantly come up with new ways to fix ourselves.”
- “Pain comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain. The normal pains we live with every day. Then there’s the kind of pain you can’t ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else, makes the rest of your world fade away, until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anesthetize, ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, and for some of us the best way to manage pain is to just push through it.”

Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain. You just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it... And life always makes more.”
- “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 life drawing lines... or you can live your life crossing them.”
- “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.

Sometimes change is everything.”

- “We're adults. How did that happen and how can we make it stop?”
- “I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves.

And we hope against all logic, against all experience, like children, we never give up hope.”
- “So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.”

- “There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile... and then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you can't even figure out why you're making.”
- “I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.”
- “We deny that we're tired, we deny we are scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed, and most importantly we deny that we are in denial. We only see what we want to see, and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after awhile the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces.”
- “There comes a moment when it's more than just a game and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here's the thing... I love the playing field.”
- “The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.”
- “When do you throw in the tower? Admit that a lost cause is just that? There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins: to find hope, where there seems to be absolutely none at all.”
- “We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhoods. The shoe fits Cinderella, the frog turns into a prince, sleeping beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales, the stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don’t come true. It’s the other stories, the ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become reality. The person that invented the phrase ‘Happily ever after’ should have his ass kicked, so hard!”
- “I’m all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don’t get to call me a whore.”
- “There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit. But here’s the thing: I love the playing field.”
