20 Doctor Who Quotes To Use In Everyday Life

Words of wisdom to stand the test of time (and space).

In the 51 years of its existence, it€™s only natural for Doctor Who to have produced some incredible lines of dialogue. From the thought-provoking to the funny to the sad, the Doctor (and his assorted companions) have always had bits of insight to impart to the audience. Since the Doctor rarely uses weapons, he€™s typically charged with using his razor-sharp wit and brains to talk his way out of situations. That is, of course, unless he has his sonic screwdriver and the writer is feeling extra lazy. Although the actors may be delivering the lines, most of the credit has to go to our friends in the writers€™ room who come up with the genius that is the dialogue in Doctor Who. This article is as much a tribute to writers like Verity Lambert, Barry Lambert, Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat as it is to the actors who brought the words to life. Part of what makes being a Whovian so special is how the show can become more than just a piece of entertainment. It€™s a way of life. Doctor Who teaches us beautifully about the importance of humanity. This is part of the reason why the show has persevered for so long. So, here are 20 quotes from Doctor Who that you can, and should, apply to everyday life. They range from the philosophical to the practical. Warning: Large amounts of Steven Moffat ahead. Guess he really is a good writer after all...
