Superstition (2006)

Ellen Pompeo: Dr. Meredith Grey

Quotes 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Superstition lies in the space between what we can control and what we can't. Find a penny pick it up, and all day long you will have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck, but does saying it 33 times really help? I mean is anyone really listening, and if no one is listening why do we bother doing those strange things at all? We rely on superstition because we are smart enough to know we don't have all the answers, and that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the ju ju from wherever it comes.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : My college campus has a magic statue... it's a long standing tradition to rub its nose for luck. My freshman roommate really believed in the statue's power and insisted on visiting it to rub its nose before every exam. Studying might of been a better idea. She flunked out sophomore year, but the fact is we all have little superstitious things that we all do. If it's not believing in magic statues, it's avoiding sidewalk cracks, or always putting on our left shoe first. Knock on wood, step on a crack... brake your mother's back. The last thing you want to do is offend the Gods.
