True love is being there for someone 100 percent, even through the most chaotic times. Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy fit this description perfectly. FYI: Spoiler alerts lie ahead. Over the seasons, the couple went through some pretty big ups and downs, but their passionate love always prevailed. They truly completed each other, and we were all rooting for them to last forever, but of course in ShondaLand, hearts were shattered beyond compare. That doesn't stop Meredith and Derek from being the couple who made us believe in true love, most especially with these Grey's Anatomy quotes.

Many of us are looking for our Meredith or Derek who will love us until the end.

BRB, I'm just going to go cry a little bit for a second.
