The Wonderful Doctor Of Oz

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."
