Because—and this is important. You can’t just be alone. That’s a childish thing to be. You can’t just isolate yourself from everything, no matter what terrible things have happened. You have to help other people. DOCTOR: That’s what Jackie Paper would have said. BERNICE: Oh. Oh, I see. DOCTOR: What do you think? — Love and War Link to Quote Favourite DOCTOR: A road to nowhere.
