"Bir zamanlar ait olduğu güneş sisteminin mücevherlerinin en parlak, en güzel ve en değerli parçası olan Dünya şimdi bir harabe halinde."
Işığı karanlıkta, yaşamı ölümde, kefareti yalnızlıkta ve yuvasını evrenin öteki ucunda bulan yıldızlara bakanların öyküleri.

"Your heart does you credit,' said Melinda. 'Although it won't do for much longer.' She smiled at all of them. 'Can't you see? Can't you see what pain you're in now, with your fear and worry? Soon you'll never have to feel like that again!"
"But don't you understand?" the Doctor said. "You can only experience fear if you've known safety. You can only experience grief if you've known love! That pain is important! It's a price worth paying!"

"They saved you from the poppy field. Of course, I was the one who planted the poppy field - oh, so long ago now. I wanted to save others, liberate them from the tyranny of a heart. First the poppies put people to sleep. Then my metal mice bring them to me. I feed them a cake with a pollen pill inside-' she gestured to the empty plate and pulled a small vial of pills out of her pinafore pocket- 'not enough to put them to sleep again, just enough to sap their strength so my mice can stop them escaping."

"A kids' story,'said the Doctor. 'Thing is, kids' stories are some of the most gruesome and grisly tales ever told! Grimms' fairy tales! Roald Dahl! Beatrix Potter, even! Toes cut off, eyes poked out or dancing in red-hot shoes for eternity! Put in pies, torn part or, if you're really lucky, just dying of sorrow at the end! If we're stuck in a kids' story, it's not gonna be all picnics and unicorns, I can tell you that now."

"I wanted shoes like Dorothy's so badly. But mum made me get black lace-up ones for school instead.' She sighed happily. 'Never dreamed I'd really get a pair of ruby shoes one day. I love the TARDIS wardrobe!'
'They'll look good with your uniform,' said the Doctor. Yaz wasn't sure if she was serious - the Doctor's fashion sense was suspect, to say the least."

"The Doctor turned to Yaz and looked her straight in the eye. 'Yaz, if that happens - if I lose my courage - you're going to have to be brave for all of us. No,' she added, as Yaz was about to reply. 'You can do it. I know what happened, all those years ago. I know you... ran away, that time, back before I knew you.' She took a deep breath. 'Many hundreds of years ago, when I was a very different Time Lord, I talked to a young man who was scared of what he'd got himself into. And I'm going to tell you now exactly what I told him. Courage isn't a matter of not being frightened. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway. Yaz, you always do what you have to do. I'm not worried about that."

"Doing the big stuff was always going to appeal to the Doctor - the grand gesture, the heroic rescue, the overthrowing of meglomaniacs. Anything else, not so much. The slow, boring, sensible course didn't appeal to her at all. But sometimes she had to grit her teeth and not be heroic. She wanted to go after the villain, but she had to get back to her friends."

"The Doctor grinned. 'Nice girls don't wear togas,' he told her.
'They don't?'
'Nope. And even if they did, they probably wouldn't have one with Winnie the Pooh on."

"All these dramas going on around her. Gracilis and Marcia, desperate for the return of their son. Ursus, with his lust for artistic fame. Vanessa's worries and fears. The slaves - who knew what they were hoping, dreaming? And yet in 2,000 years' time, they'd all be forgotten. Things that were life and death today would mean nothing even to the next generation, let alone those living in the twenty-first century. By the time she was born, the people here would be dust, the villa rubble. The only thing that would survive was a statue of a goddess, and who knew what it would endure over that time?"

"She had a sort of immortality already, in a roundabout way. Even if she died, here and now - which, obviously, she wasn't planning on doing for a moment - in just under 2,000 years she'd be back on Earth, wandering about London, growing up. Almost 200,000 years after that, she'd be on a space station, defeating the Daleks. More years than she could comprehent after that, she'd be watching the Earth die."

"You're lost without me!
He tucked his arm through hers. 'Don't I just know it? If anyone ever asks me what sort of friend you are, I tell them: Rose Tyler? I'm lost without her. Rock-solid, that's what she is."

"Ursus looked puzzled. 'They were only slaves bought for the purpose. Men are bought to be slaughtered in the arena. Surely becoming beauty is a better death than being hacked to pieces in a gladiatorial show?'
Rose opened and closed her mouth a few times, each argument failing on her tounge. Funny how places on Earth could sometimes be more alien to her than other planets."

"Humans, never satisfied, vindictive, always putting the pleasure of the moment above the needs of the future.'
'You still like us, though, don't you?' said Rose.
'Love ya,' said the Doctor, giving her a grin. 'But you do make a mess of things sometimes. Most of the time, in fact."

"They smiled at each other. All was right with the world again.
'Anyway,' the Doctor continued, 'you know what? I think you bring me luck. My Fortuna, that's you.'
'You mean I'm a sort of mascot,' said Rose. 'Like a four-leaf clover. Or wearing lucky pants when you go for an interview.'
'That's it exactly,' the Doctor told her. 'You're my lucky pants.'
