Sloan: No shame, no shame at all. You're still the goober.
Jackson: Gunther.

Don't give up, you'll be great. Or not. I never was.

Callie

You're the one you want them to come to, not run from.

Callie

Where do I start? Because it's general surgery and I'm cardio. Because it's first year and I'm fifth year.

Cristina

Are you guys the slow class?

Cristina

How can he not tell me he's Chief of Surgery? Because I didn't have his baby?

Cristina

You work, you study, you prepare. Months and years leading to one day, the day when you step up. On that day you have to be ready for everything, but there's one thing you can never quite prepare for. A day when you step down.

Meredith

Okay, do you know what will happen to Christina if she has a kid that she doesn't want? It will almost kill her. Trying to pretend that she loves a kid as much as she loves surgery will almost kill her, and it'll almost kill your kid. Do you know what it's like to be raised by someone who didn't want you? I do. To know you stood in the way of your mother's career? I do. I was raised by a Christina. My mother was a Christina. And as the child she didn't want, I am telling you, don't do this to her, because she's kind and she cares and she won't make it. The guilt of resenting her own kid will eat her alive.

Meredith

Meredith

Derrick: Yang, where's Meredith?
Cristina: I don't know, they fired her. Maybe she's putting anthrax in Karev's locker.

Grey's Anatomy Season 8 Quotes

I wish I wanted a kid, I wish I wanted one so bad.

Cristina

Do you have what it takes? If your marriage is in trouble, can you weather the storm? When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith and trust that you can survive this together. Maybe you just need to hold on tight and no matter what, don't let go.

Meredith
