Quote-o-rama:
Doctor Who

British spellings permitted here, because, you know.

Rose: What's the emergency?
The Doctor: It's mauve.
Rose: Mauve?
The Doctor: Universally recognised colour for danger.
Rose: What happened to red?
The Doctor: That's just humans. By everyone else's standards, red's camp. 
	Oh, the misunderstandings! All those "red alerts," all that 
	dancing.
					_The Empty Child_

"1941. Right now, not very far from here the German war machine is rolling
 up the map of Europe. Country after country, falling like dominoes.
 Nothing can stop it, nothing until one tiny, damp little island says
 'No. No, not here.' A mouse in front of a lion. You're amazing. The lot
 of you."
					_The Empty Child_

"Who looks at a screwdriver and goes 'that could be a little more 
 sonic'?"
					-Captain Jack, _The Doctor Dances_

Dalek: But you have no weapons! No defences! No plan!
The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death?
					_Bad Wolf_

"Do you know what they call me in the ancient legends of the Dalek
 homeworld? The Oncoming Storm."
					_The Parting of the Ways_

"But the thing is... but what I wanted to say is, you know when you're a
 kid, they tell you it's all 'grow up, get a job, get married, get a
 house, have a kid' and that's it. Nah. The truth is the world is so much
 stranger than that, it's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much
 better."
					-Elton, _Love & Monsters_

"Just shifts your perception a tiny little bit. Doesn't make us invisible,
 just unnoticed. Oh, I know what it's like! It's like, it's like when you
 fancy someone and they don't even know you exist. That's what it's like."
                                        _The Sound of Drums_

Donna: But that's what you do. You're the Doctor. You save people.
The Doctor: Not this time. Pompeii is a fixed point in history. What 
	happens happens. There is no stopping it.
					_The Fires of Pompeii_

The Doctor: Some things are fixed, some things are in flux. Pompeii is
	fixed.
Donna: But how do you know which is which?
The Doctor: Because that is how I see the universe. Every waking second, I
	can see what is, what was, what could be, what must not. It's the 
	burden of a Time Lord, Donna.
					_The Fires of Pompeii_

"Not easy, is it? Being clever. You look at the world and you connect
 things. Random things. You think 'why can't anyone else see it?' The rest
 of the world is so slow."
					_The Sontaran Stratagem_

"It's alright for you. You can just come and go but some of us have got to
 stay behind. So I've got to work from the inside and, by staying inside,
 maybe I stand a chance of making them better."
					-Martha, _The Sontaran Stratagem_

"Attention all troops! The Sontarans might think of us as primitive, as 
 does every passing species with an axe to grind. They make a mockery of 
 our weapons, our soldiers, our ideals. But no more. From this point on, 
 it stops. From this point on, the people of Earth fight back and we show 
 them. We show the warriors of Sontar what the human race can do."
					-Colonel Mace, _The Poison Sky_

"He saves planets, rescues civilisations and defeats terrible creatures.
 And runs a lot. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of running
 involved."
					-Donna, _The Doctor's Daughter_

"You know when you see a photograph of someone you know but it's from
 years before you knew them? It's like they're not quite... finished.   
 They're not done yet. Well, yes, the Doctor's here. He came when I
 called, just like he always does. But not my Doctor. Now, my Doctor...
 I've seen whole armies turn and run away and he'd just swagger off back
 to his TARDIS and open the doors with a snap of his fingers. The Doctor
 in the TARDIS. Next stop, everywhere."
					-Prof. River Song,
					_Forest of the Dead_

Donna: Are you saying bees are alien?
The Doctor: Don't be so daft. Not all of them.
					_The Stolen Earth_

"You know, you act like such a lonely man. But look at you! You've got the
 biggest family on Earth."
					-Sarah Jane Smith, _Journey's End_

"The aristocracy survives for a reason: we're ready for anything."   
					-Lady Christine,
					_Planet of the Dead_
