->''That’s what interests me about the [Eleventh] Doctor because, actually, look at the blood on the man’s hands. 900 years, countless very selfish choices, and he's literally blown planets up. His own race, you know, that’s all on his hands. Which is why I think he has to make silly jokes and wear a fez. Because if he didn’t, [[DrivenToSuicide he'd hang himself]].''

->Seek alternate subject. Initiate analysing scan: Philip Marquard.
->Look, sweetling. See the pretty picture: the charismatic leader of [[PathOfInspiration Morninglight]] and his beautiful family, [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a symbol of the new era of humanity]]. The patriarch, Philip, handsome and earnest of smile. His wife, Elisa, equally photogenic. Their two children - Alexandre and Kathrine, eight and eleven years old, pretty little replicas of their parents. And, of course, there is a beautiful, purebred dog. A lovely portrait. But the photo album pages are stuck together with blood and worse. Down in the basement...

->''"Not a lot of people know what it feels like, do they? To be angry. In your bones. I mean, they understand. Foster parents. Everybody understands. For a while. And then, they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do. Move on. So after a while, they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys’ home. I figured it out too late. You gotta learn to hide the anger. Practice smiling in a mirror. It's like putting on a mask. So you showed up this one day in a cool car, pretty girl on your arm. We were so excited - Bruce Wayne, billionaire orphan. I mean, we used to make up stories about you, man. Legends. And you know, with the other kids that's all it was, just stories. But... right when I saw you, I knew who you really were. I’d seen that look on your face before. It's the same one I taught myself."''

->''Though his Pokemon noticed his determined grin, he did not let them see his eyes. He could certainly say it and force himself to at least appear confident, but inside he was still a raging bundle of emotions that he was still trying to tamp down. He'd lost people he cared about, his Pokemon had too and they were probably suffering just as much as him, but he knew he needed to at least pretend to be strong…for their sake.\\

->''It was sung very boisterouly, and with a forced attempt at merriment; but no wail of despair, no words of impassioned prayer, could have had such a depth of woe in them as the wild notes of the chorus. As if the poor, dumb heart, threatened,—prisoned,—took refuge in that inarticulate sanctuary of music, and found there a language in which to breathe its prayer to God! There was a prayer in it, which Simon could not hear.''
