Quotes

"You asked me about revenge. But I didn't finish telling you. The man who killed my father. Yes, there was a time I wanted to murder him. So much. You and I both know what that feels like.

"Nyssa" the Doctor said in a tiny, sad voice.

"But you see, I had to forgive him."

"Forgive him!" Patrick's face twisted with disgust.

"Yes. Not for what it would do for the murderer, but for what it would do for me."

The King of the Dead

NYSSA: My father was murdered in the most terrible of ways. I saw the man responsible, time and time again, laughing from inside a body he now wore like a coat. Laughing with stolen eyes that once loved me… and i burned with revenge.

Whereas once i’d spent sleepless nights in hope, now i spent them lost in thought as to what i would do to him, to that murderer, if ever i had the chance... I would kill him.
