River: Those reports of the sunspots and the solar flares, they're wrong. There aren't any. It's not the sun, it's you. The sky's full of a million, million voices saying "Yes, of course we'll help!"

You've decided that the universe is better off without you, but the universe doesn't agree!
Doctor: River, a fixed point has been altered, time is disintergrating!
River: I can't let you die!
Doctor: But I have to die—
River: Shut up! I can't let you die without knowing that you are loved... by so many and so much! And by no one more than me!

Amanda: They do, indeed.
