"When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever for one moment, accepts it. Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today. Some days are special. Some days are so, so blessed. Some days, nobody dies at all. (In the library, the Doctor walks back to the TARDIS. He stops, looking at the doors. Then he raises his hand, and stands there poised like that for a long moment. Finally he snaps his fingers. The doors open. He smiles slowly and walks in, joining Donna. Then he snaps his fingers again, and the doors close. River's voice continues over this.) Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair, and the Doctor comes to call... everybody lives."

"الركض بصحبة الدكتور يوحي بدوام لا ينتهي، لكن مهما بلغت محاولاتك، لا يمكنك الفرار من الزمان إلى الأبد. الكل يدرك حقيقة الموت المحتومة، ولا أحد يدركها بعمق كالدكتور. لكنني أظن أن سماء العوالم كلها قد تكتسي سوادًا حالما يرضخ لها للحظة واحدة. الكل يدرك حقيقة الموت المحتومة. لكن ليس في كل يوم. ليس اليوم. فبعض الأيام استثنائية. بعض الأيام مباركة جدًا. بعض الأيام، لا يذوق فيها أحد طعم الموت على الإطلاق. بين الفينة والأخرى، في كل حقبة زمنية بعيدة، في يوم واحد من بين ملايين الأيام، حين تهب الرياح مواتية، ويأتي الدكتور... يحيى الجميع."
Steven Moffat
"You have to take your own bold approach, and if you do you will be rewarded with success. Or calamitous failure. That can happen too."
"لا بد أن تشق طريقك الجريء بنفسك، فإن فعل"
Steven Moffat
"This was supposed to be yesterday. I was sitting on the Cardiff/London train, supposedly about to write this very column, and realising something quite terrible. My head was entirely empty. A vast echoing void. Bigger on the inside, but with nothing in it. You could drop a pebble in my brain and wait for an hour to hear it land. No actually, you couldn't - that would be aggressive and unhelpful, so keep your damn pebbles to yourself."
"كان من المفترض أن يكون هذا بالأمس. كنت أجلس في قطار كارديف/لندن، على وشك كتابة هذا العمود بالذات، وأدركت شيئًا مروعًا للغاية. كان رأسي فارغًا تمامًا. فراغٌ شاسعٌ يتردد صداه. أوسع من الداخل، لكن لا شيء فيه. كان بإمكانك أن تلقي حصاةً في دماغي وتنتظر ساعة لتسمعها تهبط. لا، في الحقيقة، لا يمكنك ذلك – فهذا سيكون عدوانيًا وغير مفيد، لذا احتفظ بحصواتك اللعينة لنفسك."

"I can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that."

"There are two events in everybody’s life that nobody remembers. Two moments experienced by every living thing. Yet no one remembers anything about them. Nobody remembers being born and nobody remembers dying. Is that why we always stare into the eye sockets of a skull? Because we’re asking, “What was it like?” “Does it hurt?” “Are you still scared?”."
"لكل إنسان حدثان في حياته لا يتذكرهما أحد. لحظتان تعيشهما كل كائن حي، ومع ذلك لا يتذكر أحد عنهما شيئًا. لا أحد يتذكر ولادته، ولا أحد يتذكر موته. هل لهذا السبب نحدق دائمًا في محجري جمجمة؟ لأننا نسأل: "كيف كان الأمر؟" "هل يؤلم؟" "هل ما زلت خائفًا؟"."
Steven Moffat
"Heroes are important. Heroes tell us who we want to be but when they made this particular hero they didn’t give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn’t give him a tank or a warship or an X-Wing, they gave him a call box from which you can call for help and they didn’t give him a superpower or a heat-ray, they gave him an extra heart. And that’s extraordinary. There will never come a time when we don’t need a hero like the doctor."
"الأبطال مهمون. الأبطال يخبروننا من نريد أن نكون، ولكن عندما صنعوا هذا البطل بالذات، لم يمنحوه مسدسًا، بل أعطوه مفكًا لإصلاح الأشياء. لم يمنحوه دبابة أو سفينة حربية أو طائرة إكس-وينج، بل أعطوه كابينة هاتف يمكنك الاتصال منها لطلب المساعدة، ولم يمنحوه قوة خارقة أو شعاعًا حراريًا، بل أعطوه قلبًا إضافيًا. وهذا أمر استثنائي. لن يأتي زمن لا نحتاج فيه إلى بطل مثل الطبيب."
Steven Moffat
"Demons run when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun,When a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies,Night will fall and the dark will rise,When a good man goes to war. Demons run, but count the cost. The battle's won but the child is lost."
"تفر الشياطين حين يذهب الرجل الصالح إلى الحرب.
سيهبط الليل ويغرق الشمس،
حين يذهب الرجل الصالح إلى الحرب.
تموت الصداقة وتكذب المحبة الصادقة،
سيهبط الليل وينهض الظلام،
حين يذهب الرجل الصالح إلى الحرب.
تفر الشياطين، ولكن احسب الثمن.
لقد رُبحَت المعركة ولكن الطفل فُقِد."
Steven Moffat

"الطبيب: لقد خنتني. خنت ثقتي، خنت صداقتنا، خنت كل ما آمنت به يوماً. لقد خذلتني!

الطبيب: لماذا؟ أتعتقدين أن اهتمامي بكِ ضئيل إلى هذا الحد، وأن خيانتكِ لي قد تُحدِث فرقاً؟"

"Madame Kovarian: The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules. The Doctor: Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many."
"مدام كوفاريان: غضب الرجل الصالح لا يمثل معضلة. فالأخيار يكثرون من القواعد.
الدكتور: الرجال الصالحون لا يحتاجون إلى قواعد. واليوم ليس هو اليوم المناسب لتكتشفي لمَ أمتلك هذا العدد الهائل منها."

"Clara Oswald: This is just a dream, but very clever people can hear dreams. So please, just listen. I know you're afraid, but being afraid is all right, because didn't anybody ever tell you fear is a superpower? Fear can make you faster and cleverer and stronger. And one day, you'll come back to this barn and on that day you're going to be very afraid indeed. But that's ok because if you're very wise and very strong, fear doesn't have to make you cruel or cowardly. Fear can make you kind. It doesn't matter if there's nothing under the bed or in the dark, so long as you know it's ok to be afraid of it. You're always going to be afraid, even if you learn to hide it. Fear is like a companion, a constant companion, always there. But that's ok, because fear can bring us together. Fear can bring you home. I'm going to leave you with something just so you always remember: Fear makes companions of us all. -Listen, Doctor Who, episode 8.4"

Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.~ The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe"

"I'd forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe."
