Dr. Wyatt quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Lexie

I don't know how you get up in the morning, I honestly don't. Our dad abandoned you. And your mom by all accounts was the meanest person ever and you can't let Derek love you and it all really, really sucks. But ever since I knew you existed I had this fantasy about my big sister and you have failed, on every occasion to live up to that fantasy. But I still love you, whether you are capable of letting me or not. So, I forgive you. [storms out of bathroom]

[comes out of bathroom stall] Two o'clock work for you?

Meredith

Yeah... okay.

Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?

Meredith

Okay, when are you going to stop suggesting that I'm suicidal?

When you start acting like somebody that wants to be alive.

Meredith

Give me my chart.

Why?

Meredith

Because I'm not suicidal, and if it says that, then it's wrong.

What happened last year when you fell in the water?

Meredith

I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?

You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ordinance.

Meredith

I was trying to save a patient!

Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know, people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You're careless with your life. You're not slitting your wrists, but you're careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don't watch out, one of these days you're going to die because of it.

Meredith

Hand me my chart. Now! And don't ever talk about my mother again.

Meredith

[to her shrink in the elevator] What was the point? All those hours and all that money? What's the point? The world is a horrible place. Young people die of diseases. It makes absolutely no sense to try to be happy in a world that's such a horrible place.

[to Meredith] Yes.

Meredith

What?

Yes, horrible things do happen. Happiness in the face of all of that, that's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings, that's the point. [she stops the elevator] And you're not done. You've made progress because you're feeling and you're telling me about it. Six months ago, it would have been just you and a bottle of tequila. My door is always open.
