Doctor Who quotes

Both of you can only be my past. But that's impossible because I know my own past- I lived through it. All of it.

You're wrong.

I'm not wrong! I've seen Gallifrey destroyed. Twice. First by war, second by a lunatic who I'm still trying to find. In my time, Gallifrey doesn't exist. It's gone! Forever. And if you don't know that, you're in my past. So you are only serving for the glory of ash and bone.

We call the infection Praxeus. Trust me: it's smart, it's relentless... and it knows you're onto it.

Planet Earth. Seven billion lives. Separate and connected, from the edge of the atmosphere to the depths of the ocean.

Can you hear me?

Okay, not the exact right time. 77 minutes out. Late.

What!?

Two creatures from another realm descended onto a universe, where they were worshipped as gods. They saw two planets and laid a wager. Which of them could bring a planet to destruction first? The gods set to their game, sowing chaos through the populations. Wars began, between species, then between the planets themselves. The gods delighted in the carnage. It passed the time. But slowly, the inhabitants of the world grew wise, realised what these creatures had done to them. They unified and fought back against their so-called gods. They set their own planets into a collision course and at the heart of the collision, they laid a prison. They trapped one creature between the planets for eternity. The other fled, vowing to return to release his eternal partner.

(after Rakaya and Zellin are defeated) Gods back in their box!

Doctor? What are you doing? Where are going?

You're not leaving us!?

I have to find out what he's looking for. Alone.

You need back up! All of us against one!

One Cyberman but then thousands. Humans like all of you changed into empty, soulless shells. No feeling, no control, no way back. I will not [[w:Bill Potts (Doctor Who)| lose anyone else to that!

You appear courageous but your vital signs betray a heightened state of anxiety.

Or as I like to call it, Tuesday.

Shelley's only one life against all those others.

But is he, Ryan? His thoughts, his words, inspire and influence thousands for centuries. If he dies now, who knows what damage that will have on future history? 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. It's not just his life at stake, it's yours. You want to sacrifice yourself for this? You want me to sacrifice you? You want to call it? Do it now. All of you. [None of the companions respond] Yeah. Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere. Alone. Left to choose. Save the poet, save the universe. Watch people burn now or tomorrow. Sometimes, even I can't win.

You saved Shelley, but what does that mean for the future?

It means I put it in the gravest danger.

Please, tell me that was part of the plan.

Yes. A last-minute, imperfect, all-I've-got plan. Saving Shelley was step one.

What's step two?

Fix the mess I created in step one.

(reading his poem "Darkness.) The world was void, the populous and the powerful was a lump, seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless — a lump of death — a chaos of hard clay. Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea, and their masts fell down piecemeal: as they dropp'd they slept on the abyss without a surge — the waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before; the winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, and the clouds perish'd; darkness had no need of aid from them — she was the Universe.

You show courage. But you are a liar. So few of you now. Should I let you live? You could tell the tale. Speak of their deaths. Of my power. To every other species.Spread my message. Tell them: be afraid. All humanity has been erased. All life will fall. And the Cybermen will rise again.

We know where you are. We will find you.

Yeah, yeah. Have you not asked that great slab of Cyber AI you absorbed, about me? I’m the Doctor. Consult the Cyberium, mate. I have stopped you lot so many times before. And I'll do it again. Time after time after time.

No. The Cyberium does know you. Both you, and humanity, will be destroyed. And I shall bring the Cyber race to its greatest ever glory.

Quite a grudge you have against humanity. Especially considering you used to be one.

When the glorious Cyber Empire arrived, I was a willing recruit. But as I took my rightful place, as I began my blessed ascension I was denied. At first I cursed myself. Hid in the shadows, ashamed. But now, I understand. I was not discarded.I was chosen. To revive the glory of the Cyber race.

Good entrance, am I right? Be afraid, Doctor. Because everything is about to change. Forever.
