Quotes 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [closing voiceover]  Failure is inevitable. Unavoidable. But failure should never get the last word. You have to hold on to want you want. You have to not take no for an answer, and take what's coming to you. Never give in. Never give up. Stand up and take it.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [to Cristina]  How long have you been sleeping with Shane?

  [Cristina looks shocked] 

  Dr. Meredith Grey : He blushes at an exposed ankle. He saw you in your underwear and didn't bat an eye.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : That is none of your business!

  Dr. Meredith Grey : You don't have to justify it to me. He's just hooking up with the best teacher to make sure he can get everything he can. It's what you did all through med school and all through intern year. Congratulations. You've become the thing you worship.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : And you became the thing we laughed at.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [opening voiceover]  Failure is an inevitability. Still, that shouldn't be a reason not to try. Every scientist was told no, over and over. The ones we remember, the ones who changed our lives, the Curies, the Salks, the Barnards, they're the ones who wouldn't take no for an answer.
