RUSTY: I see your mind, Doctor. I see your universe.

DOCTOR: And isn't the universe beautiful?

RUSTY [OC]: I see beauty.

DOCTOR: Yes, that's good. That is good. Hold on to that.

RUSTY [OC]: I see endless, divine perfection.

DOCTOR: Make it a part of you. Remember how you feel right now. Put it inside you and live by it.

RUSTY [OC]: I see into your soul, Doctor. I see beauty. I see divinity. I see hatred.

DOCTOR: Hatred?

RUSTY: I see your hatred of the Daleks and it is good.

DOCTOR: No, no, no. You must see more than that, there must be more than that.

RUSTY: Death to the Daleks. Death to the Daleks. Death to the Daleks.

DOCTOR: No, there must be more than that. There must be more than that. Please.

RUSTY: Daleks are evil. Daleks must be exterminated. Daleks are evil.

(Rusty approaches his former comrades from the rear, while Morgan and his surviving soldiers prepare for them to break through the bulkhead door.)

MORGAN: God save us all.

RUSTY: Daleks must be exterminated.

(The Daleks turn and Rusty shoots them to pieces.)

RUSTY: Exterminate.

DALEK: Under attack from a Dalek!

(KaBOOMs all round!)

RUSTY: The Daleks are exterminated.

[Rusty's mind]

DOCTOR: Of course they are. That's what you do, isn't it?

DOCTOR: Never be cruel. Never be cowardly. Hate is always foolish. Love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.

— Twelfth Doctor, Twice Upon a Time

DOCTOR: Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?

— Twelfth Doctor, The Doctor Falls

DOCTOR: They're not your rescuers. They're your replacements. The end point of capitalism. A bottom line where human life has no value at all. We're fighting an algorithm, a spreadsheet. Like every worker, everywhere, we're fighting the suits.

— Twelfth Doctor, Oxygen

DOCTOR: Human progress isn't measured by industry, it's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species.

— Twelfth Doctor, Thin Ice

LIV: I’ll stay, you know. As long as you need me

DOCTOR: We all need someone. That’s what hope is. Other people.

MASTER: We go back a long, long way, the Doctor and I. We were at school together, we went out into the universe together. We’ve even killed each other a few times and that always gives you a very special bond with someone.

— The Reborn Master, Master of the Daleks

MASTER: The title you chose: Doctor. Now, it’s not just a man of healing. It means “teacher”. It means “tutor”. Whereas I am a Master. We both want to change the universe, to make it better, it’s only the scale of our ambition separates us.

DOCTOR: What are you saying? You’d like to have been a Doctor but you didn’t have the patients?

DOCTOR: Sometimes the best way to fight a fire is to make sure it doesn’t get started. I’m taking away your matches.

— Eighth Doctor, Masterplan

CLARA: You're always going to be afraid, even if you learn to hide it. Fear is like a companion. A constant companion, always there. But that's okay, because fear can bring us together. Fear can bring you home. I'm going to leave you something, just so you'll always remember, fear makes companions of us all.

— Clara Oswald, Listen

DOCTOR: Let me tell you about scared. Your heart is beating so hard, I can feel it through your hands. There's so much blood and oxygen pumping through your brain, it's like rocket fuel. Right now, you could run faster and you could fight harder, you could jump higher than ever in your life. And you are so alert, it's like you can slow down time. What's wrong with scared? Scared is a superpower. It's your superpower. There is danger in this room and guess what? It's you.

— Twelfth Doctor, Listen

DOCTOR: Question. Why is there no such thing as perfect hiding? Answer. How would you know? Logically, if evolution were to perfect a creature whose primary skill were to hide from view, how could you know it existed?

— Twelfth Doctor, Listen

DOCTOR: This is Clara, not my assistant. She's, er, some other word.

CLARA: I'm his carer.

DOCTOR: Yeah, my carer. She cares so I don't have to.

DOCTOR: He asked you a question. Will you help me?

CLARA: You shouldn't have been listening.

DOCTOR: I wasn't. I didn't need to. That was me talking. You can't see me, can you? You look at me, and you can't see me. Have you any idea what that's like? I'm not on the phone, I'm right here, standing in front of you. Please, just, just see me.

VASTRA: You thought he was young?

CLARA: He looked young.

VASTRA: He looked like your dashing young gentleman friend. Your lover, even.

CLARA: Shut up.

VASTRA: But he is the Doctor. He has walked this universe for centuries untold, he has seen stars fall to dust. You might as well flirt with a mountain range.

DOCTOR: We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good, you've got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.

— Eleventh Doctor, The Time of the Doctor

CLARA: And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now. The clock is striking twelve's.

— Clara Oswald, The Time of the Doctor

ELEVENTH DOCTOR: I never forget a face.

CURATOR: I know you don't. And in years to come, you might find yourself revisiting a few. But just the old favourites, eh?

WAR DOCTOR: Oh yes, of course. I suppose it makes sense. Wearing a bit thin. I hope the ears are a bit less conspicuous this time.

— War Doctor, The Day of the Doctor

KATE: Think about it. Americans with the ability to rewrite history? You've seen their movies.

— Kate Stewart, The Day of the Doctor

DOCTOR: I've had many faces, many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget. He was the Doctor who fought in the Time War, and that was the day he did it. The day I did it. The day he killed them all. The last day of the Time War. The war to end all wars between my people and the Daleks. And in that battle there was a man with more blood on his hands than any other, a man who would commit a crime that would silence the universe. And that man was me.

— Eleventh Doctor, The Day of the Doctor

WAR DOCTOR: Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame, whatever the cost.

— War Doctor, The Day of the Doctor

DOCTOR: I don't suppose there's any need for a Doctor, anymore. Make me a warrior, now.

— Eighth Doctor, The Night of the Doctor

DOCTOR: Charley, C'Rizz, Lucie, Tamsin, Molly. Friends, companions I've known, I salute you. And Cass, I apologise. Physician, heal thyself.

— Eighth Doctor, The Night of the Doctor
