Cimmerian Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Several quotes I really like are in my signature. And here are some other favorites of mine.... “Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected. ”― C.J.

Then take the universe and grind it up into the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy.

fuzzipueo Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I’ve found out that being the Doctor ... it’s not about having special knowledge or abilities.It’s about not being cruel. It’s about not being afraid.There are monsters out there, yes. Terrible things. But you don’t have to become one in order to defeat them.You can be peaceful in the face of their cruelty. You can win by being cleverer than they are. Human Nature by Paul Cornell 1995 +++++++++++ The Doctor closed his eyes. Strip away all the deceptions, uncover the truth.And the truth is: the Doctor was the finest dream of hundreds of human beings,refined as they tapped away at their typewriters. For generations, they'd madehim a hero to countless millions in over a hundred countries. Then,just once, he hadn't come back. His enemies had kept him away. But despitetheir best efforts, he hadn't been forgotten. There were those whoremembered him when they walked past a dummy in a shop window or saton the beach looking out to sea, and every time they ground pepper.Some of those who remembered had typewriters of their own.And after far too long, a new generation of children were about to hear thatmusic for the first time, and they would hear their sofa wasn't justfor sitting on ...
