Quotes

“But, it's like, think about it, though. Christmas. 1860. Happens once, just once and it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you. You can go back and see days that are dead and gone a hundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still.”

— Rose Tyler, The Unquiet Dead

“Now, don't antagonise her. I love a happy medium.”

— Ninth Doctor, The Unquiet Dead

“Time's in flux, changing every second. Your cozy little world can be rewritten like that. Nothing is safe. Remember that. Nothing.”

ROSE: It's not your fault. I wanted to come.
