DONNA: Yeah, but you always say…
DOCTOR: Oh, what do I say? What do I say? What do I say?! Because I'm always so certain. I'm all sonic and TARDIS and Time Lord. Take that away… Take away the toys, what am I? What am I now? I don't know if I can save your life this time.

DOCTOR: Without hope. Without witness. Without reward.

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?
BILL: So, the Time Lords, bit flexible on the whole man-woman thing, then, yeah?
DOCTOR: We're the most civilised civilisation in the universe. We're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes.
BILL: But you still call yourselves Time Lords?
DOCTOR: Yeah. Shut up.
— World Enough and Time

DOCTOR: I can't! Why is it always me? Why is it never anybody else's turn? Can't I just lose? Just this once?
— Twelfth Doctor, Heaven Sent
KATE: Think about it. Americans with the ability to rewrite history? You've seen their movies.
— Kate Stewart, The Day of the Doctor
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: It's a timey-wimey thing.
WAR DOCTOR: Timey what? Timey-wimey?
TENTH DOCTOR: I've no idea where he picks that stuff up.
— The Day of the Doctor
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: Listen, what you get up to in the privacy of your own regeneration is your business.
TENTH DOCTOR: One of them is a Zygon.
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: Urgh. I'm not judging you.
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?
TENTH DOCTOR: Trenzalore. We need a new destination, because I don't want to go.
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: He always says that.
DOCTOR: Whatever you've got planned, forget it. I'm the Doctor. I'm nine hundred and four years old. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I am the Oncoming Storm, the Bringer of Darkness, and you are basically just a rabbit, aren't you? Okay, carry on. Just a general warning.
— Tenth Doctor, The Day of the Doctor
DOCTOR: I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Angels Take Manhattan
HOUSE: Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords.
DOCTOR: Fear me. I've killed all of them.
— The Doctor’s Wife
DOCTOR: Letting it get to you. You know what that's called? Being alive. Best thing there is. Being alive right now, that's all that counts.
— Eleventh Doctor, The Doctor’s Wife
DOCTOR: Who's she?
SARDICK: Nobody important.
DOCTOR: Nobody important. Blimey, that's amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.
— A Christmas Carol
DOCTOR: The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
— Eleventh Doctor, Vincent and the Doctor
IANTO: It's weird. It's just different. It's not men, it's just him. It's only him. And I don't even know what it is, really, so. So I'm not broadcasting it.
— Ianto Jones, Day One

DONNA: I made up the perfect man. Gorgeous, adores me, and hardly able to speak a word. What's that say about me?
DOCTOR: Everything. Sorry, did I say everything? I meant to say nothing. I was aiming for nothing. I accidentally said everything.
— Forest of the Dead
DOCTOR: Don't play games with me. You just killed someone I liked. That is not a safe place to stand. I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.
— Tenth Doctor, Forest of the Dead
BILLY: It was raining when we met.
SALLY: It's the same rain.
— Blink
Reinette: The monsters and the Doctor. It seems you cannot have one without the other.
— , The Girl in the Fireplace
DOCTOR: I was on board another ship once. They said that was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg. It wasn't half cold.
— Ninth Doctor, The End of the World
ROSE: I just sort of hitched a lift with this man. I didn't even think about it. I don't even know who he is. He's a complete stranger.
— Rose Tyler, The End of the World
CLIVE: The Doctor is a legend woven throughout history. When disaster comes, he's there. He brings the storm in his wake and he has one constant companion.
ROSE: Who's that?
CLIVE: Death.
