In the Vortex that lies beyond time and space tumbled a police box that was not a police box.

We seem to be young, in a very old Galaxy. We're like kids tiptoeing through a ruined mansion.

In the Vortex that lies beyond time and space tumbled a police box that was not a police box.

The past is a distraction, a source of envy, enmity, bitterness. Only the present matters, for only in the present can we shape the future. Cut loose the past; it is dead weight. Let the Extirpation continue. Let it never end.

We ought to call ourselves Homo clamorans. Noisemaking man.

When you realize that you are an eternal being, you will laugh at things that used to give you anxiety attacks.

When you get close enough to someone you're never really alone again.
