Quotes Of The Week: All Rise, Snowfall, Grey's Anatomy, The Circle And More

Tonight's Oscars ceremony might be honoring the year's best movies, but our Quotes of the Week compilation is alllllll about television.

This time around, we've got The Resident's nostalgic farewell gift for departing character Mina Okafor, a sssssavage goodbye message for The Challenge: All Stars' Arissa, valid criticism of American fast food on Charmed, and a stirring, timely monologue from Station 19's grief counselor, Diane.

Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!

CHARMED

"So... a meat product named for the Germans and a potato product named for the French somehow constitutes a quintessentially American meal? The world's an even bigger mess than we feared."

Sealing monsters in an interdimensional prison is no big deal for Aladria (Heather Doerksen), yet the concept of fast food positively blows her otherworldly mind

"[beaming at the framed review] It did suck!"

Mina (the departing Shaunette Renée Wilson) gets a pretty perfect farewell gift from her colleagues

ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST

"Have you tried just being direct with Emily and asking her what's going on?"

Edrisa (Keiko Agena) delights in explaining her web-sleuthing alter ego to her NYPD colleagues

STATION 19

"When I was a child and I learned about the Native American genocide, I pictured one small village of men with feathers in their hair who gave the white people turkey and then got mad when they wouldn't leave. I pictured it because those were the literal pictures in my history books, and even though I knew that my people had been stolen from their homes and brought here chained up on ships, somehow I believed that textbook. I was 35 years old when I learned that in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and in the wake of that, millions upon millions of people who had been living here for 15,000 years were extinguished... and the ones who survived are fighting every day against a culture that still wants to pretend they don't exist. We learn when we learn. And the shame we feel at having taken so long to learn, that can be useful as long as we use it well. Once we know better, we have to do better."

Even now, here. I feel it. The stares, the judgment. And there's nothing I can do to change it. And I'm still here. No super serum. No blonde hair or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better."

Sam (Anthony Mackie) schools a GRC member on what "hard decisions" really look like
