Morbius and Solon in “The Brain of Morbius”

Do you think I care about my ultimate appearance?! Just to walk again, to feel, to see...!

Naturally, that is how you think now, my lord. But when you are once more a physical entity, imagine how you will see yourself then. Think how it will be then!

Solon, I think of nothing else! Trapped like this, like a sponge beneath the sea - yet even a sponge has more life than I! Can you understand a thousandth of my agony?! I, Morbius, who once led the High Council of the Time Lords and dreamed the greatest dreams in history, now reduced to this! To a condition where I envy a vegetable!
