SCOOT: Polish Polish
— Scoot the Polish-Bot, The Robot Revolution
DOCTOR: I mean, basically the code came from nowhere, but then so did the universe, and no-one complains about that.
— , Joy to the World
DOCTOR: Do you know how lonely you are? You live in a great, big, giant spaceship and there aren't any chairs! And you haven't even noticed because nobody ever comes round!
— Fifteenth Doctor, Joy to the World
JOY: She died on Christmas Day. On Christmas Day! I said goodbye on an iPad! Because of the rules! She died alone! And those awful people and their wine fridges, and their dancing, and their parties, and I listened to them, and I let my mother die alone! So I can never be home on Christmas Day, and I can never be with anyone on Christmas Day because I let her down. I let her down on the last day of her life, on Christmas Day. I can’t ever change that. I can’t ever change it.
— Joy Almondo, Joy to the World
FLOOD: Oh, Merry Christmas, Abdul. Stop making such a fuss. Never seen a TARDIS before?
— Mrs Flood, The Church on Ruby Road
CHERRY: I've given up on that cuppa and opted for a life of abstinence.
— Cherry Sunday, The Church on Ruby Road
TOYMAKER: I came to this universe with such delight. And I played them all, Doctor. I toyed with supernovas, turned galaxies into spinning tops. I gambled with God and made him a jack-in-the-box. I made a jigsaw out of your history. Did you like it? The Master was dying and begged for his life with one final game, and when he lost, I sealed him for all eternity inside my gold tooth. There's only one player I didn't dare face. The One Who Waits.
— The Toymaker, The Giggle
15th DOCTOR: Ah! It's more than that. Our whole lifetime. That Doctor that first met the Toymaker never, ever stopped. Put on trial, exiled, Key to Time, all the devastation of Logopolis.
14th DOCTOR: Adric.
15th DOCTOR: Adric. River Song. All the people we lost. Sarah Jane has gone. Can you believe that for a second?
14th DOCTOR: I loved her.
15th DOCTOR: I loved her. And Rose. But the Time War, Pandorica, Mavic Chen. We fought the Gods of Ragnarok, and we didn't stop for a second… ..to say, what the hell?
14th DOCTOR: But you're fine.
15th DOCTOR: I'm fine because you fixed yourself. We're Time Lords. We're doing rehab out of order.
— The Giggle
DOCTOR: I don't understand why you're so small! You can turn bullets into flowers. Think of the good you could do. So tell me why you don't!
TOYMAKER: You know full well this is merely a face concealing a vastness that will never cease, because your good and your bad are nothing to me. All that exists is to win or to lose.
DOCTOR: And you know full well that I've had many faces, containing something far more. So come with me. Leave this tiny world. We can take your games back to the stars. We can play across the cosmos. We can be… Celestial.
Tags: Sad Speech
DOCTOR: It's funny, cos I wonder where the TARDIS goes at random. Maybe it lands on some outcrop by the sea. And there's a tribe and they worship it for 100 years. Then they grow up and try to burn it. Then they get wise. They preserve it. Then they build a city all around it, till the TARDIS is just a tiny little dot, surrounded by skyscrapers and monorails. Time passes and the city falls. It all gets swept away. And there's the TARDIS… still on its outcrop… by the sea. She's the only thing I've got left.
— Fourteenth Doctor, Wild Blue Yonder
DONNA: I was thinking… And let me finish, okay? I know I sound daft, but… I wonder how long they'll wait, Rose and Shaun and my mother. Standing there in that alley… waiting for the TARDIS to come back. What if we never do? And then time will pass. Rose will grow up, she'll have a life. She might go back to that alley once a year for old times' sake, but she'll move on. Not Shaun, though. He'll keep going back every single day. He's nice, you know. He's lovely. I hope you get to know him.
— Donna Noble, Wild Blue Yonder
DOCTOR: Amazing thing, history. People always assume it's a straight line because they're in the middle of it. Viewed from outside it's more like a Möbius strip.
— Eighth Doctor, The Love Vampires
Tags: Thasmin
DOCTOR: A wise person once said to me, goodbyes only hurt because what came before was so special. Oh, and it's been so special. You, and Graham, and Ryan, and Dan. Nobody else got to be us. Nobody else got to live our days. Nobody. And my hearts are so full of love of all of you. Oh, I have loved being with you, Yaz. And I have loved being me. I think I need to do this next bit alone.
YASMIN: Let's not say goodbye.
— The Power of the Doctor
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.
— Thirteenth Doctor, The Power of the Doctor
YASMIN: Make a wish and skim it.
DOCTOR: I wish...
YASMIN: You can't say your wish out loud!
DOCTOR: You can where I'm from. I wish... I wish this would go on forever.
— Legend of the Sea Devils
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?
— Thirteenth Doctor, Eve of the Daleks
(The Doctor takes the fob watch out of her pocket, then removes a blue globe from the console and holds it over the long, long tunnel down into the workings of the TARDIS.)
DOCTOR: Do me a favour. Keep this safe. Somewhere deep within this TARDIS. Somewhere I can never find it.
(Drops it and replaces the globe.)
DOCTOR: Unless I really ask for it.
— The Vanquishers

JERICHO: YOU ARE OBSERVED! And that is my power over you!
— Eustacius Jericho, Village of the Angels
LOGAN: I have Queen and Country on my side. That is all the help I need.
DOCTOR: Is she here with you, then, the Queen?
LOGAN: Obviously not.
DOCTOR: Then her influence may be limited.
— War of the Sontarans
DOCTOR: Words matter! One death, one ripple, and history will change in a blink. The future will not be the world you know. The world you came from, the world you were created in won't exist, so neither will you.
— Thirteenth Doctor, The Haunting of Villa Diodati
DOCTOR: Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose.
FUGITIVE DOCTOR: Let me take it from the top. Hello, I’m The Doctor.
— Fugitive Doctor, Fugitive of the Judoon
DOCTOR: None of us know for sure what's out there. That's why we keep looking. Keep your faith. Travel hopefully. The universe'll surprise you... constantly.
— Thirteenth Doctor, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos
DOCTOR: Love, in all its forms, is the most powerful weapon we have. Because love is a form of hope. And like hope, love abides. In the face of everything.
— Thirteenth Doctor, Demons of the Punjab
