DOCTOR: Hello, I'm-
TOSHKA: A demon from hell!
DOCTOR: Close enough.
— The Legend of Baba Yaga
DOCTOR: We couldn't save all of them.
FADE: We could save some.
DOCTOR: "Some" isn't good enough.
— Fast Times
CHRIS: The overrides are biometrically linked to me.
DOCTOR: So I’d need a sample of your DNA to trip the lock. Right! You know what you need to do.
CHRIS: Oh, all right, fine. I’ll kiss you.
(Mwah! Chris kisses the Doctor.)
DOCTOR: Oh. No, I just meant a follicle of your hair.
CHRIS: Oh. Really?
DOCTOR: But don’t worry about it.
CHRIS: Oh, I’m so embarrassed.
DOCTOR: There should be enough on my lips, um—oh, actually I probably need a bit extra. Hang on.
(Mmmmwah! The Doctor kisses Chris back.)
— Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover
DOCTOR: I'm guessing this isn't the Strictly final? I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.
— , The Krillitane Relic
STEVEN: I suppose everyone thinks of the war they were in as the war.
— Steven Taylor, The Living Darkness
The prophecies of old foretold a war across the stars.
The cosmos torn asunder. Every planet left with scars.
From Skaro to Kasterborous, and Villengard as well —
Some know it as the Time War, but the Time Lords call it Hell.
The seven deaths of Davros, and the slaughter of Skull Moon.
The Neverwhen, the Never-weres, the Never-Gone-Too-Soon.
The war raged on for eons, and it’s only just begun,
Fragmenting space and causing time itself to be undone.
Until a man is born upon the barren sands of Karn,
Until that man confronts himself twice over, in a barn.
Until the Daleks breach the second city, and it falls.
Until that man engraves the words “No More” into the walls.
I am that man, and I will take this Moment to avow:
If once there was a Doctor, there is not a Doctor now.
— War Stories
DOCTOR: So a hotel, but instead of rooms, time portals, yeah?
TREV: Yeah.
DOCTOR: Oh! Oh! That stone door up there, that is actual stone, live from the Stone Age. God... Live from a submarine. Mesopotamia. (a leaning door) Oh, come on, got to be Pisa.
TREV: Yeah, Pisa.
DOCTOR: Ha! (looking at leaflet) Ancient Rome, the fall of Troy, your favourite assassination. Package deals for all of history's biggest hits. No wonder there was no room at the inn.
— Joy to the World
DOCTOR: Ugh! Do you see? This is why nobody likes you! You have to be mysterious all the time. That's why everyone leaves you. That is why you are always alone.
— Fifteenth Doctor, Joy to the World
JOY: She died on Christmas Day. On Christmas Day! I said goodbye on an iPad! Because of the rules! She died alone! And those awful people and their wine fridges, and their dancing, and their parties, and I listened to them, and I let my mother die alone! So I can never be home on Christmas Day, and I can never be with anyone on Christmas Day because I let her down. I let her down on the last day of her life, on Christmas Day. I can’t ever change that. I can’t ever change it.
— Joy Almondo, Joy to the World
DOCTOR: I mean, basically the code came from nowhere, but then so did the universe, and no-one complains about that.
— Doctor, Joy to the World
DOCTOR: You are being mansplained by a briefcase.
JOY: I thought I was being mansplained by you.
DOCTOR: Honey, the Doctor's in the room - it's the mansplain central.
DOCTOR: Do you know how lonely you are? You live in a great, big, giant spaceship and there aren't any chairs! And you haven't even noticed because nobody ever comes round!

ACE: The Doctor once showed the film to Charles Dickens. He died a very happy man.
— Reflect
Audacity: Doctor, at least try to make sense?
— Audacity Montague, The Gloaming
They always found one another, didn't they? Romana, and Narvin, and Leela; always together in some combination. An enclave of familiarity against the vastness of time.
— , The Questing Beast

— The Great Beyond
TEGAN: I was angry about the suppression coronet, I still am, but I don't know if I was entirely fair.
ADRIC: People aren't always fair to me.
TEGAN: Shut up Adric.
TEGAN: This is you all over Doctor, you're always thinking about the adventure, you never stop to look after the people you're supposed to care about!

TEGAN: Only as far as it suited his own interests.

DOCTOR: What can I say? I’m the original accidental tourist.
EMILY BARNFATHER: A secret tunnel... We found an honest to goodness secret tunnel!
