"In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the earth, at least that's what they say. He created the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then God created man, and it's been downhill ever since. The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image, but there's not much proof of that. After all God made the sun and the moon and the stars, and all man makes is trouble. And when man finds himself in trouble, which is most of the time, he turns to something bigger than himself. To love or faith or religion to make sense of it all. But for a surgeon, the only thing that makes any kind of sense is medicine. As doctors, we know more about the human body now than at any point in our history. But the miracle of life itself; why people live and die, why they hurt or get hurt is still a mystery. We want to know the reason, the secret, the answer at the back of the book...because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day, the fact that we show up for each other, in spite our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing."
-Miranda Bailey, S4E11, "Lay Your Hands on Me"

"We like to think that we are rational beings; humane, conscientious, civilized, thoughtful. But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear we are not better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream, but deep down we are still routing around in the primordial ooze; biting, clawing, scratching out an existence in the cold, dark world like the rest of the tree-toads and sloths. There's a little animal in all of us and maybe that's something to celebrate. Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, a pack to run with. We may feel caged, we may feel trapped, but still as humans we can find ways to feel free. We are each other's keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though there's a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream and love. And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve."
-Meredith Grey, S4E12, "Where The Wild Things Are"

"Great surgeons aren't made, they're born. It takes gestation, incubation, sacrifice. A lot of sacrifice. But after all the blood and guts and gooey stuff is washed away, that surgeon you've become? Totally worth it. Giving birth may be all intense and magical and stuff, but the act itself is not exactly pleasant. But it's also a beginning of something incredible, something new, something unpredictable, something true, something worth loving, something worth missing, something that will change your life forever."
-Meredith Grey, S4E13, "Piece of My Heart"

The residents were going crazy around the hospital. There was a surgical contest and they all wanted to win. Cristina was in the lead so far. Anna was shocked to hear that Izzie slept at the hospital and hasn't been home in two days.

Things were awkward between Derek and Meredith since their breakup. And, apparently, Derek's been on a date with a nurse named Rose. Anna didn't even know anything about it until she heard Izzie, Meredith, and Cristina whispering about it.

While her dad was busy with patient consults, and the residents were busy with their contest, Anna was hanging out with Dr. Webber in his office. He was teaching her things, making her take notes, while he worked through his mountain of paperwork.

"You'll need to know this when you become a surgeon." He said.

"What's with the flowers?"

"Are you asking as a resident or a sister?"

"Sister."

"I'm stealing stuff."
