Season 3 Episode 18: "Scars and Souvenirs"

MEREDITH: [narrating] "What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again."

GEORGE: "How you doin?"
MEREDITH: "Okay, everybody? Let's just do this once: I'm fine. She's cremated. I picked out a beautiful urn and she's hanging out in the back of my closet. Any more questions about my dead mother, or can we get back to work?"

MEREDITH: [narrating] "People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers."

Season 3 Episode 17: "Some Kind of Miracle"

MEREDITH: "I was swimming. I was fighting. Then I thought, just for a second, I thought ‘What’s the point?’ And then I let go. I stopped fighting. Don’t tell anybody."
DENNY: "Okay."
MEREDITH: "What?"
DENNY: "Izzie."
MEREDITH: "You can see her?"
DENNY: "No. Sometimes we’d be at the same place at exactly the same time and I can almost hear her voice. It’s like I’m touching her. I like to believe she knows I’m there. That’s all you get. That’s it. Moments with the people you love. And they’ll move on and you’ll want them to move on. But still, Meredith, that’s all you get. Moments."

CRISTINA: "You know what? I’m not a civilian. I know the science here. It’s drinking time."

CRISTINA: "No. Uh-uh. I don’t do this stuff. You should know. I don’t go to great lengths."
PRESTON: "Well, you were there for me."
CRISTINA: "After. After I knew you were going to make it. Hey, I’m not proud. Okay, I just... I can’t. I can’t go back there. I can’t. I can’t go back there and watch her."
PRESTON: "Listen to me. This is about you and the woman you call your person. And you do know the science here. And if she dies, and you're sitting here when that happens, I can’t see you coming back from that. Come and say goodbye to your friend."
