Dr. Meredith Grey: There's something to be said about a glass half full. About knowing when to say when. I think it's a floating line. A barometer of need and desire. It's entirely up to the individual. And depends on what's being poured. Sometimes all we want is a taste. Other times there's no such thing as enough, the glass is bottomless. And all we want, is more.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're ten-feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the OR. And all that perfection, all that beautiful control, just falls to crap.
Dylan Young: You realize how stupid that was...
Dr. Cristina Yang: It was Mer, incredibly stupid.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Ok, you know when you don't need to be made fun of? Like, when you have your hand inside a body that's got a bomb in it and a stranger is velcroing a flak-jacket to your boobs.
Dr. Meredith Grey: If you knew this was your last day on Earth, how would you wanna spend it?
Dr. Cristina Yang: Even George manages to get some action.
Dr. George O'Malley: Correction: George got some syphilis.
Dr. Meredith Grey: How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask... And when is it all just too much to bear?
Dr. Meredith Grey: I think she's more of a "gentle stalker."
Dr. Miranda Bailey: Right. Well, let's hope she lives to "gently stalk" another day.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I have an aunt who whenever she poured anything for you she would say "Say when". My aunt would say "Say when" and of course, we never did. We don't say when because there's something about the possibility, of more. More tequila, more love, more anything. More is better.
Dr. Miranda Bailey: Look at this. Everybody wants a life without pain. And what does it get you? She needs to be on a poster somewhere to remind people, pain is there for a reason.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I am an evil mistress.
Dr. George O'Malley: But still... you look nice.
Dr. Meredith Grey: To be a good surgeon, you have to think like a surgeon. Emotions are messy. Tuck them neatly away and step into a clean, sterile room where the procedure is simple. Cut, suture, close. But sometimes you're faced to a cut that won't heal. A cut that rips its stitches wide open.
