- Dr. Meredith Grey: There are moments when all of the stars align. When everything seems as it should be. Your life seems to have sorted itself out. It's not like all our problems go away. It's just the problems are suddenly manageable. You feel so good you wonder if it's real. And if I've learned anything, I can tell you it is. It's very real, but it will not last. There are days when you feel like you can conquer anything and it feels like everything will be okay. Like I told you, the feeling doesn't last. I'm not trying to be cynical. It's just that even when a day starts out so, so well, that day can end so, so badly.
- Dr. Owen Hunt: I got married right over there and I got divorced. Then, I got married again. Then I went on with my life and I left Megan in a hole in the ground for almost 10 years. Weeks would go by and I didn't give her a thought. I couldn't spare her a thought when she was being held and tortured and I don't know what. I stopped looking. I gave up. I gave up on her.
