->"[[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."

->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]].''

We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying, he couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember, I-I-I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out, I didn't know what I wanted to do.\\\

!!!Real Life
->Rationality is of supreme importance to the well-being of the human species...even more in those less fortunate times in which it is despised and rejected as the vain dream of men who lack the virility to kill where they cannot agree.
