Hope is its own form of cruelty.

The Caretaker

Harry: I’m scared.
The Doctor: Don’t be.
Harry: Why?
The Doctor: It doesn’t help.

Honestly, Doctor, there’s nothing going on! Nothing weird, nothing alien! Just an old house and a dodgy landlord, which is pretty standard for students.

Bill

The Doctor: Did you hear the tree squeaking when you arrived outside?
Bill: Yeah. It was the wind!
The Doctor: There wasn’t any wind...

The Doctor: I told you, you don’t steer the TARDIS, you reason with it.
Bill: How?
The Doctor: Unsuccessfully, most of the time.

Bill: Doesn’t anybody ever notice the TARDIS?
The Doctor: Your species hardly notices anything.

Bill: How is *that* a screwdriver?
The Doctor: In a very broad sense!
Bill: Oh, and how’s it sonic?
The Doctor: It makes a noise!

If you care so much, tell me how many people you’ve seen die.

Bill

Do you want to help me? Or do you want to stand here stamping your foot? Because let me tell you, I’m two thousand years old. And I’ve never had the time for the luxury of outrage.

The Doctor

Always remember, Bill -- passion fights, but *reason* wins.

The 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. That boy who died on the river, that boy’s value is *your* value.

The Doctor

Never underestimate the collective human ability to overlook the inexplicable.

Doctor Who Quotes

The Doctor

The Doctor: It's a risk.
Graham: Oh, like none of our other trips have ever been risky.
The Doctor: I have apologized for the Death Eye Turtle Army! Profusely.
