Lots of planets have a North!

D’you mind not farting while I’m trying to save the world?
—NINTH DOCTOR, “Aliens of London”
Harriet Jones. MP for Flydale North.
—HARRIET JONES, “Aliens of London”
If someone’s collectin’ aliens, that makes you Exhibit A.
—ROSE, to the Ninth Doctor, “Dalek”
What’re you going to do? Sucker me to death?

—NINTH DOCTOR, “Father’s Day”
Are you my mummy?
—The Empty Child, “The Empty Child”

New teeth. That’s weird. So where was I? Oh that’s right! Barcelona!
—TENTH DOCTOR, “The Parting of the Ways”
Am I ... ginger?
—TENTH DOCTOR, “The Christmas Invasion”
But why? Look at these people, these human beings. Consider their potential! From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than—no, hold on. Sorry, that’s The Lion King. But the point still stands: Leave them alone!
—TENTH DOCTOR, “The Christmas Invasion”
I wanted her to say, ‘We are not amused’. Bet you five quid I can make her say it.
—ROSE, on Queen Victoria, “Tooth and Claw”
Have you met the French? Lovely people!
—TENTH DOCTOR, after too many banana daiquiris, “The Girl in the Fireplace”
I like that, ‘Allons-y’. I should say allons-y more often. Look sharp Rose Tyler, allons-y! And then it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso, ’cause then I could say ‘Allons-y, Alonso, every time.
—TENTH DOCTOR, “Army of Ghosts”
Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen.—This is not war. This is pest control.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
—TENTH DOCTOR, on Lazarus, “The Lazarus Experiment”
Which one of them do you want us to kill? Maid, or matron? Your friend, or your lover? Your choice!
—BAINES/Son of Mine, “Human Nature”
It is returning, it is returning through the dark. And then Doctor ... oh, but then ... he will knock four times.
—CARMEN, “Planet of the Dead”
Anyway. Why don’t we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me, I don’t think so!
—THE MASTER, “Utopia”

Mr. and Mrs. Spartacus? Oh, no no no no no, we’re not married....
—TENTH DOCTOR to Luciuus Caecilius Iucundus, “The Fires of Pompeii”

Astrid Peth, citizen of Sto. The woman who looked at the stars and dreamed of traveling. Now you can travel forever. You’re not falling, Astrid ... You’re flying!
—TENTH DOCTOR, “Voyage of the Damned”
What’s good about sad? Sad is happy for deep people.
—SALLY SPARROW, to Kathy Nightingale, “Blink”
People and planets and stars will become dust. And the dust will become atoms and the atoms will become ... nothing. And the wavelength will continue, breaking through the rift at the heart of the Medusa Cascade into every dimension, every parallel, every single corner of creation. This is my ultimate victory, Doctor! The destruction of reality itself!
—DAVROS, “Journey’s End”
Back of the neck!
—DONNA, “The Sontaran Stratagem” (see Alan Partridge)
DOCTOR: You were expecting someone else?
PERI: I—I—I—
DOCTOR: That’s three ‘I’s in one breath—makes you sound rather egotistical, young lady.
—SIXTH DOCTOR, to Peri, “The Caves of Androzani”
JACKIE: I’m in my dressing gown.
DOCTOR: Yes, you are.
JACKIE: There’s a strange man in my bedroom.
DOCTOR: Yes, there is.
JACKIE: Anything could happen.
DOCTOR: No.
—NINTH DOCTOR to Jackie, “Rose”
I just want you to know, there are worlds out there, safe in the sky because of her. That there are people living in the light, and singing songs of Donna Noble. A thousand, million light years away. They will never forget her, while she can never remember. But for one moment ... one shining moment ... she was the most important woman in the whole wide universe.
—TENTH DOCTOR, “Journey’s End”
You humans have got such limited little minds, I don’t know why I like you so much.
—FOURTH DOCTOR, “The Masque of Mandragora”

—FOURTH DOCTOR (Too many episodes to mention)
Your mind is beginning to work. It’s entirely due to my influence, of course, you must not take any credit.

CAPTAIN JACK: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks ‘Oooh, this could be a little more sonic’?

—NINTH DOCTOR, “The Doctor Dances”
I am perfectly capable of admitting when I’m wrong! ... Only this time I wasn’t.
—FOURTH DOCTOR, “The Pirate Planet”
There is no indignity in being afraid to die, but there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live.

Our lives are important—at least to us.
—FIRST DOCTOR, “The Reign of Terror”
To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained.
—FOURTH DOCTOR, “The Robots of Death”
It is the right of every creature across the universe to survive, multiply and perpetuate its species. How else does the predator exist? We are all predators, Doctor. We kill, we devour to live!

Geronimo!
—ELEVENTH DOCTOR, “The End of Time, Part 2”
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea’s asleep, and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on, Ace. We’ve got work to do.
