DOCTOR: You're not celluloid. You're made of light. Light come to life.

MR RING-A-DING: I'm beamin' at ya!

Lux

BELINDA: You mean it's literally the same diploma, like in a time travel way?

DOCTOR: Timey-wimey.

BELINDA: Timey-wimey?

DOCTOR: Yup.

BELINDA: Am I six?

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.

DOCTOR: I don't care what you think. And you can say whatever you want. You can think absolutely anything. I will do anything if you just allow me to save your lives.

BREWSTER: If you'll turn away, ladies, before you're contaminated.

DOCTOR: You will die out there! And I can save your lives! Now let me!

RUBY: Is that a monster?

DOCTOR: No. No, don't be silly, Ruby. There's no such thing as monsters, there's just... just creatures you haven't met yet.

DOCTOR: Oh, the blossomiest blossom. That's the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next. Right, then. Doctor Whoever-I'm-about-to-be. Tag, you're it.

YASMIN: You're not my Doctor! Because you know the greatest strength my Doctor has? She's spent her life gathering friends. She can't help it. And she is loved, because she taught us to never give up, even if someone steals your very existence.

— Yasmin Khan, The Power of the Doctor

DOCTOR: A plan is like a teabag. Sometimes you need to be in hot water before the magic happens.

— Thirteenth Doctor, Salvation

DOCTOR: I'm going to find out what he's up to, and then I'll dazzle you with a beautiful bit of improvisation.

YASMIN: You mean there's no plan.

DOCTOR: Early days.

CHIEF: Do not make the mistake of thinking I wish to keep you alive.

DOCTOR: What's he doing? I mean, that's the trouble with history – never anything like the books. Same as Stephen King movies.

— Thirteenth Doctor, Legend of the Sea Devils

DOCTOR: Come on, tell me you're impressed.

YASMIN: Oh, you're like a kid sometimes.

DOCTOR: Thanks! What, only sometimes?

DAN: So, we're dead. Second time round.

DALEK: The inferior human is correct.

DAN: Oi! Who are you calling inferior?

DALEK: You. Assessment has been made.

YASMIN: Pretty smart, Daleks.

DOCTOR: What about you? Any plans? Seeing friends?

DALEK: Daleks do not have friends.

DOCTOR: Yeah, well, you've only got yourselves to blame for that.

DAN: What kind of a welcome is that, eh? I'll report you to your manager!

DALEK: Daleks do not have managers.

DAN: Yeah, well, er... I've got some stuff I need storing, and I just wanted to see what was available.

DALEK: Daleks do not store stuff.

DOCTOR: Because something seems impossible. We try, it doesn't work, we try again. We learn, we improve, we fail again, but better, we make friends, we learn to trust, we help each other. We get it wrong again. We improve together, then ultimately succeed. Because this is what being alive is. And it's better than the alternative. So come on, you brilliant humans. We go again and we win. Deal?

SARAH: You all done, Nick?

DALEK: I am not Nick.

DOCTOR: See? Worried now.

DALEK: Daleks are not worried.

DOCTOR: You should be.

DALEK: Exterminate!

RYAN: Yeah. Me mates need me. And I know this sounds stupid, but... I feel like my planet needs me. You've got to fight for it, right? Look, Doctor, before... before I met you, I didn't know what I wanted to do with me life. And... and now... And now, I know.

DOCTOR: Ten months. I made it back too late. Missed my time with you.

RYAN: So, are we hugging, or...?

FOURTH DOCTOR: I am essentially a pacifist. Though that does sometimes involve blowing things up.

— Fourth Doctor, Out of Time 1

RUTH: (To the Thirteenth Doctor) Have you ever been limited by who you were before?

DOCTOR: Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose.

DOCTOR: Humans. I think you forget how powerful you are. Lives change worlds. People can save planets, or wreck them. That's the choice. Be the best of humanity.
