"The modern mind always mixes up two different ideas: mystery in the sense of what is marvellous, and mystery in the sense of what is complicated. That is half its difficulty about miracles. A miracle is startling; but it is simple. It is simple because it is a miracle. It is power coming directly from God (or the devil) instead of indirectly through nature or human wills."

"Private lives are more important than public reputations. I am going to save the living, and let the dead bury their dead."

"I never said it was always wrong to enter fairyland. I only said it was always dangerous."

"One is never thinking of the real sorrow," said the strange priest. "One can only be kind when it comes."

"There's a disadvantage in a stick pointing straight," answered the other. "What is it? Why, the other end of the stick always points the opposite way. It depends whether you get hold of the stick by the right end."

"I don't suppose we'll know if we actually succeeded. But at worst, we failed doing the right thing, as opposed to succeeding in doing the wrong."

"Oh... Yes, of course, suppose it makes sense... Wearing a bit thin! I hope the ears are a bit less conspicuous this time."

"Time Lords of Gallifrey, Daleks of Skaro; I serve notice on you all. Too long I’ve stayed my hand. No more. Today, you leave me no choice. Today, this war will end. No more. No more."

"If you have been inside my head, then you know what I've seen. The suffering. Every moment in time and space is burning. It must end. And I intend to end it the only way I can."

"It’s not about causes, Rejoice. I'm steeped in the blood of it all. It's my reason for being: to do the unthinkable, to bring this whole sorry chapter of cosmic history to an end, one way or another. In short... I'm a monster."

"Doctor no more."

"I’m sorry... I couldn’t save you. I tried! He tried. I couldn’t save him either. Did he really think he could stay apart from the War? Play the dashing romantic hero forever? How full of hope he was… How naïve. How foolish."

"Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame."

"The problem with helping my people... is that it often makes things far worse. I don't take orders. If I help, it's on my own terms."

"Go back. Go back to your lives. Go and be the Doctor that I could never be. Make it worthwhile..."

"There is a moment, after regeneration, when the guttering soul of the old man looks out through the eyes of the new. So it was the Doctor who looked into the mirror-- but it was me who looked back."

"Are all the bells ringing? The whole Cloister?"

"What is it? Is the firing squad afraid of the unarmed man?!"

"The vote is taken. Only two stand against, and will stand as monument to their shame, like the Weeping Angels of old. Now the vanguard stands prepared, as the children of Gallifrey return to the universe - to Earth!"

"My Lord Doctor. Lord Master. We are gathered for the end."

"How many regenerations did we grant you? I've got all night..."

"It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams. To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather, in the celebration of a pagan rite to banish the cold and the dark. Each and everyone of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come, but they forgot … because they must. They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity. They forgot, except for one..."

"And so it came to pass that the players took their final places, making ready the events that were to come. The madman sat in his empire of dust and ashes, little knowing of the glory he would achieve, while his saviour looked upon the wilderness, in the hope of changing his inevitable fate. Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future - a future now doomed to never happen. As Earth rolled onwards into night, the people of that world did sleep and shiver, somehow knowing that dawn would bring only one thing… The final day!"

"Now the dream outlives the dreamer and can never die. Once I was the puppet - now I pull the strings! I tried so long to take on human form. By erasing Simeon, you made space for me. I fill him now! More than snow, more than Simeon - even this old body is strong in my control. Do you feel it? Winter is coming. Winter is coming!"

"Such a brain as yours is too small to grasp my purpose."

"I have feasted on many minds, I have grown, but now it is time for you to reduce."

"Tonight the thaw, tomorrow the snow will fall again - yet stronger. The drowned woman and the dreaming child will give us form at last. Tomorrow the snow will fall and so shall mankind. She is coming."

"And so it came to pass on Christmas Day, that the human race did cease to exist. But even then, the Master had no concept of his role in greater events. For this was far more than humanity's end! This was the day upon which the whole of creation would change forever! This was the day... the Time Lords returned. For Gallifrey! … For victory! … For the end of Time itself!"

"I will not die! Do you hear me?! A billion years of Time Lord history riding on our backs! I will not let this perish. I will not!"

"We must make certain that "Doctor" learns nothing of what is happening. He is a man of great knowledge and intelligence, but he may not show sympathy for the powers that guide us. He may even seek to hinder the great plan."

"Welcome to the final resting place of the cruel tyrant; of the slaughterer of the ten billion, and the vessel of the final darkness. Welcome... to the tomb of the Doctor!"

"It is done."

"Now the High Council of Time Lords must vote. Whether we die here, today, or return to the waking world and complete the Ultimate Sanction. For this is the hour when either Gallifrey falls, or… Gallifrey rises!"

"Robot of Sherwood (6 September 2014)"

"The Magician's Apprentice (19 September 2015)"

"And if I grow to be half the man that you are, Clara Oswald, I shall be happy indeed."

"5 ft 1 and crying - You never stood a chance."

"Never try and control a control freak."

"Let me be brave."

"A genius entertainment manager hiding out in a wrecked ship, hacking the security systems of the most advanced warrior race the Universe has ever seen — but, you know what really gets me about you, Oswin? The soufflés. Where do you get milk for the soufflés? Seriously, is no one else wondering about that?"

"Just because my pretty face has turned your head do not assume I am so easily distracted."

"Hang on... Three of you, in one cell, and none of you thought to try the door?"

"Please don't change."

"She's not possible!"

"I am NOT a control freak!!"

"Run … run, you clever boy … and remember."

"Do you know how you make someone into a Dalek? Subtract love, add anger."

"Oh my stars!"
