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.

EMILY BARNFATHER: Who are you Doctor?

DOCTOR: I am me.

DOCTOR: Well done you did it.

EMILY BARNFATHER: It also means at some point we will have to come back this way.

DOCTOR: We'll cross that plank when we come to it.

DOCTOR: We've gone on holiday by mistake!

DOCTOR: I'm always explaining. Explaining and flailing, that's what River says. Like Mr Clever met Mr Tickle.

DOCTOR: I’ve always wondered. Why isn’t “phonetic” spelt with an “F”?

ROSE: I can teach you how to spell “Doctor” with an “F”.

BERNICE: You know about me and the...oh goddess, you know him?

IRIS: Know him? I've had him! He's my fancy man.

DOCTOR: Ah, thank goodness in this regeneration I've regained my impeccable sense of haute couture.

SUTEKH: Evil? Your evil is my good. I am Sutekh the Destroyer. Where I tread, I leave nothing but dust and darkness... I find that good!

RAMO: Why should I trust you?

DOCTOR: That's a very good question. I wish I could think of a good answer.

DOCTOR: Yes, and that extraordinary quarrel I had with that English king, Henry the Eighth. You know, he threw a parson's nose at me.

BARBARA: What did you do?

DOCTOR: Threw it back, of course. Take them to the Tower, he said. That's why I did it.

BARBARA: Why?

SUSAN: The TARDIS was inside the Tower.

DOCTOR: Yes, it all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a, quite a great spirit of adventure, don't you think?

IAN: Yes. We've had some pretty rough times and even that doesn't stop us. It's a wonderful thing, this ship of yours, Doctor. Taken us back to prehistoric times, the Daleks.

SUSAN: Marco Polo, Marinus.

BARBARA: And the Aztecs.

DOCTOR: But you can't rewrite history! Not one line!

DOCTOR: As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves.
