2	->''Here was someone who [[HunterOfMonsters hunted men and monsters]], but unlike the so-called "warriors" who bragged of their exploits and counted their kills this Hunter was someone who did not relish it at all.

[[WouldHurtAChild A pile of little arms.]] And I remember, I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know ''what'' I wanted to do. And I want to ''remember'' it.

The genius of that! The genius! The ''will'' to do that!' Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we."''

45	->''Saward is well-known as something of a [[TheSocialDarwinist Darwinist,]] in the sense that he is drawn to characters with a kill-or-be-killed, survival-of-the-fittest mentality. The fifth Doctor was, however, explicitly characterised as a liberal, a philosophy which Saward had difficulty in coming to grips with: frequently, Sawards' scripts have the Doctor [[TechnicalPacifist dithering and then engaging in a violent act]], strongly suggesting Saward's conflict between his desire to write a story featuring a Darwinist action-hero and his knowledge that the character should be portrayed as anything but... The Doctor at no point counters this argument; he could say that it is people like Davros who perpetuate the cycle of death and destruction, but instead, [[GoodIsImpotent he simply freezes]].''

48	->''Men get to slice each other up while radiating honour and nobility; women get to luxuriate and self-subjugate in a version of femininity steeped in both virtue and [[StayInTheKitchen beauteous uselessness]]... The pre-modern or early-modern is repurposed as a sequined and/or sword-wielding exemplar for the anti-modern. And the great thing is that you can enjoy your anti-modernity immaculately packaged for you by the modern publishing industry, and the modern TV industry, and the modern film industry. You can yearn for the certainties of the medieval via DVD. Capitalism is happy to commodify your pre-capitalist yearnings.''

61	->''"[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] had the willpower of a demon and he needed it. If he didn't have such a strong willpower he couldn't have achieved anything. Don't forget, if Hitler had not lost the war, if he did not have to fight against the combination of big powers like England, America, and Russia -- each one he could have conquered individually -- these defendants and these generals would now be saying, 'Heil Hitler,' and would not be so damn critical."''

78
79	->''The internal qualities once said to embody manhood -- surefootedness, inner strength, confidence of purpose -- are merchandised back to men to enhance their manliness. The more productive aspects of manhood, such as building or cultivating or contributing to a society, couldn't establish a foothold on the shiny flat surface of a commercial culture, a looking-glass before which men could only act out a crude semblance of masculinity.''
