The Doctor: Androzani Major was becoming quite developed last time I passed this way.
Peri: When was that?
The Doctor: ...I don't remember. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the future.
Peri: Doctor, why do you wear a stick of celery in your lapel?
The Doctor: Does it offend you?
Peri: No, just curious.
The Doctor: Safety precaution. I'm allergic to certain gases in the praxis range of the spectrum.
Peri: Well, how does the celery help?
The Doctor: If the gas is present, the celery turns purple.
Peri: And then what do you do?
The Doctor: I eat the celery. If nothing else, I'm sure it's good for my teeth.
Fifth Doctor: That could blow a hole in the space-time continuum, the size of--[The Tenth Doctor turns the TARDIS console screen towards him] ... actually, the exact size of Belgium. That's a bit undramatic, isn't it? "Belgium"?
Doctor: Me? Is that what I look like?
Rory: You don't know?
Doctor: Busy day...
Doctor: Everytime the TARDIS materializes in a new location, within the first nanosecond of landing, it analyzes its surroundings, calculates a 12 dimensional data map of everything within a 1000 mile radius, and determines which outer shell would blend in best with the environment...and then it disguises itself as a Police Telephone Box from 1963

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFeversDuval stares at me a long moment, his eyes bright as if with fever. "Perhaps that is because you mistake death for justice, and they are not the same thing at all"
What a marvelous sense of humor fate has,
It is a wonder we don't all die laughing
A life taken is not a life given, no matter the cause
The slaughter of tens of thousands of men would not return the breath of one of their victims.
Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore ~ I have to admit, this is my favorite passage from a book of all time."Madlen. Would a person ever cut himself," she said, "on purpose?"
Madlen stilled her rummaging hands and peered at Bitterblue. Then she shoved the mountain of things on the bed aside with one powerful arm and sat beside her. "Are you asking for yourself, Lady Queen, or someone else?"
"You know I wouldn't do such a thing to myself"
"I would certainly like to think that I know it, Lady Queen"
Madlen said. Then she paused, looking quite grim. "There are no limits to the ways people you think you know can astonish you. I can't explain the practice to you, Lady Queen. I wonder if it's meant to be punishment for something one can't forgive oneself for. Or an external expression, Lady Queen, of an internal pain? Or perhaps it's a way to realize that you actually do want to stay alive."
"Don't talk about it as if it's a life-affirming thing" Bitterblue whispered, furious.
Madlen studied her own hands, which were large, strong, and, Bitterblue knew, infinitely gentle. "It's a relief to me, Lady Queen, that in your own pain, you take no interest in hurting yourself"
"Why would I?" Bitterblue flared. "Why should I? It's foolish. I would like to kick the people who do it."
"That would, perhaps, be redundant, Lady Queen"
