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
DONNA: Was it me, or was Isaac Newton hot?
DOCTOR: He was, wasn't he? He was so hot. Oh! Is that who I am now?
DONNA: Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate. I always thought…

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
Not-Thing: My arms are too long.
— Not-Things, Wild Blue Yonder
DOCTOR: Wilfred Mott. Oh, now I feel better. Now nothing is wrong, nothing in the whole wide world! Hello, me old soldier!
WILF: I never thought I'd see you again after all these years. Oh, Doctor, that lovely face! It's like springtime.
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
DAN LEWIS: I've only been back a month, and I've got to say, I'm glad I'm not on the verge of being exterminated any more. But I do miss her.
IAN CHESTERTON: Sorry. Did you say her?

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
(Dan knocks out a Sontaran by hitting it in the back of the head with a wok)
DAN: How'd you like that, eh? Pan-fried Sontaran! Now I'm gonna... wok right out of here!
— War of the Sontarans
KARVANISTA: You defile the sacred legacy of my forebears.
DAN: You don't look anything like four bears.
— The Halloween Apocalypse
LUKE: She's the one who told me that Sanjay was looking at me in that way, and she's the one who told me to go and talk to him. And now we've been married for five years. That's the greatest gift she ever gave me. I may have been created by the Bane, but Mum, she gave me life.
— Luke Smith, Farewell, Sarah Jane
RANI: You know what I think? I think it's not over, because I don't think she's dead. I really don't. That's not just me being mad, cos I honestly think in my heart and soul that he came back for her. Right at the end, the Doctor came back for his Sarah Jane, and he said, shall we go? Out into the stars? One last trip? And she said, oh yes please. And I think they're out there now, Sarah Jane and the Doctor in the TARDIS, travelling through space and time forever, in a story that never ends.
— Rani Chandra, Farewell, Sarah Jane
DOCTOR: We’re all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while still staying true to who we are. We can honour who we’ve been and choose who we want to be next. Now’s your chance. How about it?
— Thirteenth Doctor, The Woman Who Fell to Earth
DOCTOR: There's this moment where you're sure you're about to die and then you're born. It's terrifying. Right now I'm a stranger to myself. There's echoes of who I was and a sort of call towards who I am. And I have to hold my nerve and trust all these new instincts. Shape myself towards them. I'll be fine. In the end. Hopefully. Well, I have to be, because you guys need help and if there's one thing I'm certain of, when people need help, I never refuse. Right? This is going to be fun.
NARDOLE: Don’t die. Because if you do, I think everybody in the universe might just go cold.
— Nardole, Twice Upon a Time

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
Tags: Speech Sad
DOCTOR: Without hope. Without witness. Without reward.
— Twelfth Doctor, The Doctor Falls
DOCTOR: Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand is where I fall.
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
MISSY: Well, I am that mysterious adventurer in all of time and space, known only as Doctor Who. And these are my disposables, Exposition and Comic Relief.
— Missy, World Enough and Time
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
RAM: What about football?
DOCTOR: Unbelievably boring sport. Now, darts? Darts is something worth practising for. Maths and alcoholic beverages. The best way to spend a morning.
— For Tonight We Might Die
