Heaven Sent

“As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life, and it begins a journey towards you. It moves slowly, but it never stops. Wherever you go, whatever path you take, it will follow. Never faster, never slower, always coming. You will run. It will walk. You will rest. It will not. One day, you will linger in the same place too long. You will sit too still or sleep too deep, and when, too late, you rise to go, you will notice a second shadow next to yours. Your life will then be over.”

“If you think because she is dead I am weak, then you understand very little. If you were any part of killing her, and you're not afraid, then you understand nothing at all. So, for your own sake, understand this. I am the Doctor. I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop.”

“I am the Doctor. I'm coming to find you, and I will never, ever stop.”

“I've finally run out of corridor. There's a life summed up.”

CLARA: Doctor, you are not the only person who ever lost someone. It's the story of everybody. Get over it. Beat it. Break free. 

(Her hand touches his cheek.)

CLARA: Doctor, it's time. Get up, off your arse, and win!

“I can't! Why is it always me? Why is it never anybody else's turn? Can't I just lose? Just this once?”

“You've got the rest of your life. The faster you think, the slower it will pass. Concentrate. Assume you're going to survive. Always assume that. Imagine you've already survived. There's a storm room in your mind. Lock the door and think. This is my storm room. I always imagine that I'm back in my TARDIS, showing off, telling you how I escaped, making you laugh. That's what I'm doing right now. I am falling, Clara. I'm dying. And I am going to explain to you how I survived. I can't wait to hear what I say. I'm nothing without an audience.”

“There's this emperor and he asks this shepherd's boy, how many seconds in eternity? And the shepherd's boy says there's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it! Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiselled away, the first second of eternity will have passed! You must think that's a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird.”

“Physics of a triangle! You lose.”

DOCTOR: I didn't leave Gallifrey because I was bored! That was a lie, that has always been a lie!

(The Veil continues approaching)

DOCTOR: Not enough? You want more?

(The Veil continues approaching)

DOCTOR: I was scared! I ran because I was scared! Is that what you want me to say? Is that true enough for you?

“Nobody remembers being born, and nobody remembers dying. Is that why we always stare into the eye sockets of a skull? Because we're asking "What was it like? Does it hurt? Are you still scared?"”

“The hybrid is not half dalek, nothing is half dalek. The daleks would never allow that. The hybrid, destined to conquer Gallifrey and stand in its ruins... is me.”

(He finds a spade with soil on it leaning against the inner wall.)

DOCTOR: Oh, what's this? Well, are you gardeners? I hate gardening! What sort of a person has a power complex about flowers? It's dictatorship for inadequates. Or to put it another way, it's dictatorship.
