  • Amy Pond: I grew up. The Doctor: Don't worry, I'll soon fix that.
  • Amy Pond: I thought... well, I started to think you were just a madman with a box. The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. … I am definitely a madman with a box.
  • There were days, there were many days, where these words could burn stars, raise up empires, and topple gods.

  • There were cracks. Through some we saw silence and the end of all things...
  • Amy: You threw the manual in a supernova? Why? The Doctor: Because I disagreed with it!

Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world... no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again.

  • River Song: I have questions, but number one is this: What in the name of sanity have you got on your head? The Doctor: It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.
  • Dalek: Records indicate you will show mercy. You are an associate of the Doctor. River Song: I'm River Song. Check your records again.
  • The box contains a memory of the universe, and the light transmits the memory — and that's how we're going to do it. … Relight the fire. Reboot the universe.
  • The Doctor: Oh. Ok. I escaped, then. Brilliant. I love it when I do that.
  • Amy: I found you; I found you in words just like you knew I would; that's why you told me the story, the brand new, ancient blue box. Oh clever, very clever. Rory: Amy, what is it? Amy: Something old. Something new. Something borrowed. Something blue.
  • The Doctor: Are you married, River? River Song: Are you asking? The Doctor: Yes. River Song: ...Yes. The Doctor: No, hang on, did you think I was asking you to marry me, or, or, or asking if you were married? River Song: Yes. The Doctor: No, but was that yes, or...yes. River Song: ...Yes.

  • The Doctor: Oh, this is my friend River. Nice hair, clever, and has her own gun. And unlike me, she really doesn't mind shooting people. I shouldn't like that. Kinda do, a bit. River Song: Thank you, sweetie.
  • Rory Williams: What kind of doctor are you, anyway? River: Archaeology.
  • The Doctor: You didn't always take me where I wanted to go. Idris: No, but I always took you where you needed to go.
  • Living things from rooms that are deleted are automatically deposited in the main control room.
  • Idris: I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but so sad. I've found it now. The Doctor: (whispers) What word? Idris: Alive.
  • Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit weird? The Doctor: They never really stop.

  • That is a really twisted interpretation of the right to marry. Imagine if the situation were reversed, and you had no legal recognition of the right to marry the person you loved because they were of the wrong gender. The right to marry anyone OTHER than the consenting adult you love is NO RIGHT to marriage at all. There is nothing neutral about it - it just seems that way to you because it does not affect your rights. 
  • The legislative right for people of all orientations to marry does nothing to alter the sanctity of marriage.

  • I hope you also understand that if we lived under all the things the Bible condemns, adulterers would be put to death, women would have to cover their heads in church, and the Panthers couldn’t play on Sundays. Among many, many, many other things.
  • love your neighbor as yourself
  • what love really requires, in the end, is that you accept your neighbors for what they are
  • we already do
  • Marriage really is sacred, in the right hands. But it requires love, and common sense, and tolerance of flaws, and the constant effort to fix your own. None of those qualities are exclusive to straight people. That should go without saying
  • straight and gay people are 99.9 percent the same
  • millions of gay couples would be loving and monogamous and all the things we want married couples to be. In fact, a lot of them are that now. They just don’t get to have the piece of paper. It makes no sense to deny them the piece of paper.
  • when our children and grandchildren look back on it all, this whole debate will make us look silly and small
  • this is the thing about gay marriage: It hurts no one. It just bothers people. And we don’t have a right not to be bothered.
  • Is a heterosexual marriage of convenience somehow more sacred than a loving relationship between two adult homosexual human beings?
  • It doesn't matter that it has no practical effect on gay marriage in the present, what matters is the precedent we set and the negative effects on the lives of thousands of people, many of whom aren't even interested in the gay rights issue.
  • Christians who are quick to point to the bible as a means to justify hurtful speech and discrimination should reflect on Christ's message of love, compassion, and acceptance
  • My straight marriage of 20 years is no more threatened by two men or two women marrying than it is by the sun rising in the east, water flowing downhill, or nighttime baseball...and guess what?  NEITHER IS YOURS.
  • You act as if you think we all believe in this magical guy in the sky.  Meanwhile, in reality land, people have the right to live peacefully, without harming anyone, in whatever way makes them happy. They just don't have legal recognition yet. Gay people don't try to legislate your rights, so you shouldn't try to legislate theirs. Your imaginary friend is not the boss of the universe, either. Get used to it.
  • I am so embarrassed sometimes by the actions and words of those around me. How dare we condemn two people that love and respect each other.
  • I am saddened by the people that wave the bible in the name of hate and use it to judge others.
  • Homosexuality IS normal. It's a genetic variation present in a minority of all populations.
  • I am also outraged by those that think just because a marriage is between a man and a woman it is more sacred. How many heterosexual unions do we see that quickly end in divorce, are abusive or do not include love?
  • That is a really twisted interpretation of the right to marry. Imagine if the situation were reversed, and you had no legal recognition of the right to marry the person you loved because they were of the wrong gender. The right to marry anyone OTHER than the consenting adult you love is NO RIGHT to marriage at all. There is nothing neutral about it - it just seems that way to you because it does not affect your rights. 
  • Schools don't teach morality. That is the parents' job. That's why we have separation of church and state. How would you like it if public schools taught the morality and ethics of some other religion?
  • Alcoholism is not a natural state. Predisposition toward it is caused by family history of alcoholism, which makes it a genetic disease that can be passed on. It is not legally mandated unless the specific case is proven to be harmful to others in a legal court.
  • Pedophilia, however, is inherently harmful to others regardless of its cause, and should be prohibited because of the harm it does to children, who are essentially being sexually assaulted or raped, since they are not old enough to understand and consent. Gay marriage, however, is entirely consensual.
  • we all should work on our own marriages and stay out of each others personal lives
  • Our laws are based on rights and freedoms, and prohibitive laws are there to keep people from suffering. 
  • The South has absolutely nothing to do with it.  I'm 100% Southern and I totally support gay marriage
  • Is a heterosexual marriage of convenience somehow more sacred than a loving relationship between two adult homosexual human beings? Is it more right to hide your homosexual orientation from your heterosexual spouse in the hopes that you can change who you are before they realize you only love them in a platonic way? How can that kind of marriage be sacred?
  • Is it more right to hide your homosexual orientation from your heterosexual spouse in the hopes that you can change who you are before they realize you only love them in a platonic way? How can that kind of marriage be sacred?
  • Homosexuality is a normal genetic state within a minority of any animal population caused by genetic variation in a species. It is harmless, and therefore should not fall under legal jurisdiction
  • Those prohibitions all have secular, scientific reasons for them.  There is no such  rationale against marriage equality.
  • The first settlers came fleeing the same religious oppression you are advocating
  • Is an abusive heterosexual marriage more sacred than a loving homosexual marriage? What effect does THAT have on the sanctity of marriage?
  • Is an abusive heterosexual marriage more sacred than a loving homosexual marriage?
  • Has it diminished  the "sanctity" of your own marriage in anyway?
  • We have seperation of church and state for a reason!
  • The legislative right for people of all orientations to marry does nothing to alter the sanctity of marriage.
  • I just don't think we should ALL have to adopt someone elses religious views.
  • The question is, why are people so dishonest as to deliberately craft the amendment's language (and make no mistake, it IS deliberate) so as to be broader than marriage itself
  • How does marriage equality hurt me? 
  • I do not worship (nor do I accept) the abusive bully that you worship
  • If you are a gay tax paying legal citizen of the this country then you should have the same rights as any other straight tax paying legal citizen of this country
  • It is your right to believe what you want
  • You might have second thoughts about voting FOR this amendment if you found yourself in that situation
  • the amendment will have far-reaching effects on MANY hetero-unmarried couples and their innocent children
  • to deny homosexuals the same rights and benefits granted heterosexuals, Christians, aethists, doctors, teachers, homemakers, etc., is not consistent with our Republic. 
  • minorities - Buddhists, aethists, Asians, blacks, Jews, gays, and every sect of Christianity from Amish to Orthodox to Roman Catholics must be protected from people who would deny them the rights shared by others in society
  • America is not a theocracy
  • You need to love others as they ARE.
  • Any stance against two people of legal age getting married deprives them of this basic inalienable right to pursue happiness (not to mention equal protection and rights under the law
  • You don't have to support it; just don't impose your religious beliefs on those who do not share them. No one has the right to legislate religious convictions.
  • If the words of our Declaration of Independence are to have meaning, they are to apply to ALL Americans
  • You can stand up for your convictions, but not by taking away the rights of other human beings.
  • You seem to think homosexuality is an action rather than a state of being. Here is your problem. It's what you are, not what you do.
  • It wasn't liberals who opposed women's suffrage. It wasn't liberals that opposed the Civil Rights Act. And it's not liberals who are pushing for an amendment to codify discrimination against a pariticular minority group who threaten nobody into law.
  • Your friends are your friends in the hope that in the future you can change. They care about you, so they don't abandon you even though you treat them like second-class citizens.
  • Humanity doesn't need a savior, we need to be more humane. That supposed savior is the same entity that imposed the concept of sin in the first place.
  • The word liberal comes from liberty. And fighting for equality, social justice, and freedom from persecution and discrimination based on race, creed, or sexual orientation are the values that liberals believe in.
  • The piece of paper is a much bigger deal to them than it is to you. You oppose it because of your religious convictions, which is fine in the churches, but the problem is that it's a legal document that is in question. The church has no legislative authority. 
  • why do you get married?
  • It's more than a piece of paper. It's a legal document that decrees what other rights you have. With this piece of paper comes a whole plethora of rights and recognitions inherent in the legal system which they should have as much access to as you or I. Rights like visiting family members in the hospital, filing taxes jointly, adopting children, offering healthcare benefits.
  • They want to love each other, yes, but they also want that love to be recognized in the eyes of the law. They don't need the piece of paper to tell them it's okay, they need the piece of paper to give them rights that every other married couple already has.
  • gay marriage is already illegal in North Carolina
  •  If Amendment One gets voted down gay marriage will STILL be illegal in North Carolina.  If passed,  Amendment One would take away additional rights from unmarried heterosexual couples as well as gay couples.
  • Voting for Amendment One does create new law. It redefines a legal term
  • They aren't forcing you or your religion to give them a license for anything. They just want the same legal rights and recognition as every other married couple.
  • voting against Amendment One is NOT a vote for gay marriage
  •  The Constitution of the United States is such a great document because it guarantees equal protection of the law for ALL Americans.
  • NC Family Law Professors say that based on their professional expertise, "the language of the proposed North Carolina amendment is vague and untested, and threatens harms to a broad range of North Carolina families
  • Rep. James Crawford, one of Amendment One's primary sponsors, admitted that he believes the constitutional amendment “discriminates against the gay community,” and when asked if he was “OK” with that fact, he responded simply, “No.”
  • The real problem with all of this is that is is so easy to amend the constitution of NC. A simple majority vote?
  • You can get 50% of people to vote for anything.
  • Are women unequal to men?
  • since slavery is in the bible, should we reinstate that?
  • what type of clothes do you wear?
  • Just wondering because all of that is in the bible too
  • there are bigots everywhere
  • mendment One strips legal protections from children
  • a child of an unmarried parent could lose their health care and prescription drug coverage
  • a child could be taken away from a committed parent who has loved them their entire life if something happens to the other parent
  • Your comment "We don't have the right not to be bothered" sums up the lunacy of the opposition to tolerance
  • it threatens existing child custody and visitation rights that are designed to protect the best interests of a child
  • the impact of the amendment is so broad that it snares in its legal net any unmarried couple and their children
  • thousands of North Carolinians rely on these legal protections
  • by removing these rights, far-reaching and long-lasting harms are created to families from all walks of life
  • it would interfere with protections for unmarried couples to visit one another in the hospital and to make emergency medical and financial decisions if one partner is incapacitated
  • Amendment One could take away domestic violence protections for all unmarried women
  • the amendment is a dangerous step backward for domestic violence and stalking protection
  • domestic violence protections could only apply to married couples
  • with Amendment One, a single or widowed senior couple could be forced to marry to keep their legal protections, which would cause them to lose benefits such as pensions, health care, and social security
  • above all else, it's writing discrimination into our state's constitution, codifying bigotry, and marginalizing a significant percentage of our population
  • Homosexuality IS normal. It's a genetic variation present in a minority of all populations.
  • Schools don't teach morality. That is the parents' job. That's why we have separation of church and state. How would you like it if public schools taught the morality and ethics of some other religion?
  • Do not write discrimination into our constitution
  • Our laws are based on rights and freedoms, and prohibitive laws are there to keep people from suffering.

  • The Doctor's relationship with humanity is more complex. He doesn't save us because he is all-powerful like a parent rescuing a wayward child. He does it because he thinks we're wonderful.
  • The show simultaneously illustrates how inconsequential we are in the vastness of time and space, while still praising our ingenuity, curiosity and capacity for kindness.
  • he does not offer a helping hand in a condescending way, asking to be worshipped. Instead, you can't help but feel he needs us just as much as we need him. Humanity fills a void for the Doctor that has persisted through countless lifetimes.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • for all his success, he often fails
  • even with a semi-immortal Time Lord on your side you can lose
  • That we are struck by tragedy does not mean that there is no sense or purpose to life. It doesn't mean we are alone
  • although it might be unsettling to believe in a god that has limits to his abilities, it's also reassuring that bad things can happen despite the best wishes and efforts of a higher power
  • Doctor Who teaches me I just don't know everything
