    I can’t pick just one! The first one is probably my favorite if I must choose though.

    The way I see it every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.

    There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes.

    You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don’t alter their views to fit the facts; they alter the facts to fit their views.

    Courage isn’t just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.

    I don’t want to go.

    That scene was brutal. I cried like a baby. And it so encapsulated Tennant’s doctor, his sheer joy in life that kept him going no matter how bad things got. It also drove home the weight of a doctor that loved a human, and became friends with one in a way he never had before.

    To me, there’s no bad doctors at all, only varying degrees of greatness. But Tennant is the only one that can match “my” doctor, Tom Baker. Everything about his run just worked for me. So, that scene? Perfect, andb the quote itself is the distillation of that .

      I love this speech

      “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.”
