Aнатомията на Грей (Grey"s Anatomy) е един от любимите ми сериали. А едно от любимите ми неща в този сериал са цитатите, над които човек наистина си заслужава да се замисли. Приятно четене :-)

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. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is ... everything.

Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point we all have to choose: do we fall back on what we know, or do we step forward to something new? It’s hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us… what guides us. Our history resurfaces time after time after time. So we have to remember sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today.

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. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here"s what I know. If you"re willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side... is spectacular.

The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can"t pretend we haven"t been told. We"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 today"s possibility under tomorrow"s rug until we can"t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like 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.

Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we"re wired that way. Because without it, I don"t know, maybe we just wouldn"t feel real. What"s that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be -- white dress, prince charming who’d carry you away to a castle on a hill. You’d lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa clause, the tooth fairy, prince charming -- they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.

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.

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can"t help but talk about. Some things we just don"t want to hear, and some things we say because we can"t be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say. They"re what you do. Some things you say because you have no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.

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?

Who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins? It"s not on the calendar, it"s not a birthday, it"s not a new year, it"s an event --big or small, something that changes us, ideally it gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, letting go of old habits, old memories. What"s important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning, but it"s also important to remember amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.

No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, whether we like it or not. But here"s the truth about the truth: It hurts. So we lie.

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here"s what I"ve decided. There"s no such thing as a grown-up. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. And just we think life and circumstances have forced us truly to become an adult, your mother says something like that. Or worse, something like that. We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we"re still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.

Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us can wants, is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it"s usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we"ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

Disappearences happen in science. Disease can suddenly fade away. Tumors go missing. We open someone up to discover the cancer is gone. It"s unexplained, it"s rare, but it happens. We call it misdiagnosis, say we never saw it in the first place, any explanation but the truth. That life is full of vanishing acts. If something that we didn"t know we had disappears, do we miss it?

What"s worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that shoud"ve healed years ago and never did. Maybe our old wounds teach us something, they remind us where we"ve been and what we"ve overcome, they teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That"s what we like to think, but that"s not the way it is, is it? Somethings you just have to learn over and over and over again.

The thing about plans is they don"t take into account the unexpected, so when we"re thrown a curve ball, whether its in the O.R. or in life, we have to improvise. Of course, some of us are better at it than others. Some of us just have to move on to plan B, and make the best of it. And sometimes what we want is exactly what we need. But sometimes, sometimes what we need is a new plan.

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.

In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It"s shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it were just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It"s the high we"re chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.

Still, they say you don’t kick the habit until you hit rock bottom, but how do you know when you’re there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes letting it go hurts even worse.

The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can"t help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much.

Forgive and forget. That"s what they say. It"s good advice, but it"s not very practical. When someone hurts us we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled. Old wounds never heal. The most we can hope for is that one day we"ll be lucky enough to forget.
