I have this thing with quotes, especially from movies and my favorite television show: Grey's Anatomy. It might seem silly since most movies are made up. But I find so much in these quotes, even the fictional films.

Such as this one:

"There comes a point in your life, when you’re officially an adult. Suddenly, you’re old enough to vote, drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown-up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up?"

"In some ways we grow up; we have families... we get married, divorced... but for the most part we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling... forever wondering, forever...young"


This one is from the Episode called Forever Young of Grey's Anatomy. The main character, Meredith, was narrating. I believe the top quote was at the beginning of the episode and the bottom quote at the end.

Okay, this show is entirely fictional, but I actually wrote a few essays about the phenomenon of Grey's Anatomy and what makes it so engaging to so many viewers. Many viewers even call themselves Addicts. Pretty extreme but rather accurate as well. I will be the first to admit I am a Grey's Addict. Each week I count down the days for the new episode. I try to figure out what things mean, what will happen. I believe that what makes this show so interesting to all of the followers is that although fictional, it is reality. People can relate to what the characters are feeling and experiencing.


There is just something about this quote that I love. No matter how old we are, we are still, in a way, stumbling around like a child.
