    “Donna: You're not saying much.
    The Doctor: No, it's just— It's a funny old life. In the TARDIS.
    Donna: You don't want me.
    The Doctor: I'm not saying that.
    Donna: But you asked me. would you rather be on your own?
    The Doctor: No. Actually no. But. The last time, with Martha—like I said, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
    Donna: You just want to mate?!
    The Doctor: I just want a mate.
    Donna: Well you're not mating with me, sunshine!
    The Doctor: A mate! I just want a mate.
    Donna: Well it's just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonense. I mean you're just a long streak of... nothing! Alien nothing.
    The Doctor: There we are then.”

    “Donna to the policewoman: Don't you touch this car!
    The Doctor watching: She's not changed.
    Wilfred: Oh. There he is. Shawn Temple. They're engaged. Getting married in the Spring.
    The Doctor: Another wedding.
    Wilfred: Yeah.
    The Doctor: Hold on, she's not going to be called Noble-Temple. It sounds like a tourist spot.
    Wilfred: No it's Temple-Noble.
    The Doctor: Right. Is she happy? Is he nice?
    Wilfred: Yeah, he's sweet enough. He's a bit of a dreamer. Mind you he's on minimum wage. She's earning tuppence so all they can afford is a tiny little flat. And then sometimes I see this look on her face. Like she's so sad. And she can't remember why.
    The Doctor: She's got him.
    Wilfred: She's making do.
    The Doctor: Aren't we all.
    Wilfred: How 'bout you? Who've you got now?
    The Doctor: No one. Travelling alone. I thought it would be better. But I did some things, it went wrong. I need— {he starts to cry}
    Wilfred: Oh my word. I—
    The Doctor: Mm. Merry Christmas.
    Wilfred: Yeah. And you.
    The Doctor: Look at us.
    Wilfred: Don't you see? You need her, Doctor. I mean, look, wouldn't she make you laugh again? Good ol' Donna.

    David Nicholls
    “What are you going to do with your life?" In one way or another it seemed that people had been asking her this forever; teachers, her parents, friends at three in the morning, but the question had never seemed this pressing and still she was no nearer an answer... "Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.”
    David Nicholls, One Day

    Nick Hornby
    “Please stop patronizing those who are reading a book - The Da Vinci Code, maybe- because they are enjoying it. For a start, none of us know what kind of an effort this represents for the individual reader. It could be his or her first full-length adult novel; it might be the book that finally reveals the purpose and joy of reading to someone who has hitherto been mystified by the attraction books exert on others. And anyway, reading for enjoyment is what we should all be doing. I don't mean we should all be reading chick lit or thrillers (although if that's what you want to read, it's fine by me, because here's something no one else will tell you: if you don't read the classics, or the novel that won this year's Booker Prize, then nothing bad will happen to you; more importantly,nothing good will happen to you if you do); I simply mean that turning pages should not be like walking through thick mud. The whole purpose of books is that we read them, and if you find you can't, it might not be your inadequacy that's to blame. "Good" books can be pretty awful sometimes.”

    “Doctor: 'I am not a hero."
    Robin Hood: 'Well, neither am I, but if we both keep pretending to be, perhaps others will be heroes in our name. Perhaps we will both be stories and may those stories never end.”

    Stephen Fry
    “If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

    Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
    Stephen Fry

    Donna Tartt
    “When you feel homesick,’ he said, ‘just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go.”
    Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

    Donna Tartt
    “Well—I have to say I personally have never drawn such a sharp line between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ as you. For me: that line is often false. The two are never disconnected. One can’t exist without the other. As long as I am acting out of love, I feel I am doing best I know how. But you—wrapped up in judgment, always regretting the past, cursing yourself, blaming yourself, asking ‘what if,’ ‘what if.’ ‘Life is cruel.’ ‘I wish I had died instead of.’ Well—think about this. What if all your actions and choices, good or bad, make no difference to God? What if the pattern is pre-set? No no—hang on—this is a question worth struggling with. What if our badness and mistakes are the very thing that set our fate and bring us round to good? What if, for some of us, we can’t get there any other way?”
    Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

    Donna Tartt
    “Can’t good come around sometimes through some strange back doors?”
    Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

  • #25
    Donna Tartt
    “What if — is more complicated than that? What if maybe opposite is true as well? Because, if bad can sometimes come from good actions—? where does it ever say, anywhere, that only bad can come from bad actions? Maybe sometimes — the wrong way is the right way? You can take the wrong path and it still comes out where you want to be? Or, spin it another way, sometimes you can do everything wrong and it still turns out to be right?”
    Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

    Lionel Shriver
    “Holocausts do not amaze me. Rapes and child slavery do not amaze me. And Franklin, I know you feel otherwise, but Kevin does not amaze me. I am amazed when I drop a glove in the street and a teenager runs two blocks to return it. I am amazed when a checkout girl flashes me a wide smile with my change, though my own face had been a mask of expedience. Lost wallets posted to their owners, strangers who furnish meticulous directions, neighbors who water each other's houseplants - these things amaze me.”
    Lionel Shriver, We Need to Talk About Kevin

  • #27
    Lionel Shriver
    “I have no end of failings as a mother, but I have always followed the rules.”
