"Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is progress, whether we want it to be, or not. So, go ahead, argue with the refs, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play. Play hard. Play fast. Play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow."

Jackson Avery

"I love you. I love everything about you- even the things I don't like, I love. And I want you with me. I love you and I think that you love me, too. Do you ?"

Derek Shepherd

"You deserve to be with somebody that makes you happy. Somebody who's not gonna complicate your life. Somebody who won't hurt you."

Mark Sloan

"But somehow we forget that all that matters is people. And whether we walk away leaving them better or worse for having met us."

Alex Karev

"You can have the worst crap in the world happen to you and you can get over it. All you gotta do is survive. You are the strongest person I know. You just don't give up. That's not who you are. So don't give up and fight for the man you love."

Amelia Shepherd

"I wasn't the big sister that you needed for too many years. I wasn't here for you when you were in some dark places. But I'm here now. And I'm gonna be the big sister that you deserve. And it begins with an advice. We lose those battles as often as we succeed. The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So fight until you can't fight anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender."

Carolyn Shepherd

"Out of all the kids, you were the one that I never had to worry about. The one who never caused any trouble. Since you were ten I knew you would turn out good. You were so independant, so clever, so perfect. I thought that you didn't needed me so I focused on the others. Derek said that he'd watched out for you. And he did. He has raised you and you've become a caring, loving, successful woman. But he wasn't your mother, you deserved a mother but he offered and I let him. And that is my biggest regret."

Meredith Grey

"Sometimes it's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose. But you can't stay scared and do nothing. You have to fight. Fight for what you want until you either get it or lose it."

Cristina Yang

"No one's ever believed in me like this. You believe in me more than I do and I need that. I'm gonna die here without that."

Lexie Grey

"I feel like I should apologize to you. Firstly for dating your husband. I didn't know he was still married to you. He never told me. And secondly for disrespecting you in the O.R. I saw you with him today and I got jealous and worried. I mean you're amazing. You are every man's dream, just look at you. I forgot my place and I'm sorry. It will never happen again that was very unprofessional."

Kathleen Shepherd

"Everyone knew that your marriage with him would never last. Personally I thought that it was going to last less than it actually did, so congratulations to you, little sister. But you can't blame anyone but you for it. You knew how he was before you two got together and thinking that he would change because of you is pretty stupid. Contrary of what you think there is nothing special about you."

Liz Shepherd

"There was always a gap between us. It was you, Amy and Derek on one side and Nance, Kate and me on the other. I never understood why. But now I do, and I apologize. I know we can be kind of bitchy sometimes but know that we love you Tory and all we ever wanted was your happiness. We aren't really good at showing it but we care."

Nancy Shepherd

"You've always been the perfect one out of all of us, kiddo. But being perfect is not normal. Your failures don't define you, it's how you facing them that will. You are so much more than one failed marriage. You are an amazing surgeon, the strongest person that I know and the best sister I could ask for."

Owen Hunt

"I don't have to say a word. She just looks at me and sees who I am and how I feel and accepts it. She doesn't try to change it or wants to change it. There're a billion people but I imagine there's only one of her."
