Title says it all.

I know there's already a Dr Who thread, but I didn't want to hijack it as there are so many ace quotes, so started this to complement it.

Not necessarily my favourite quote but here's one to be getting on with:

The Doctor to Donna Noble:
"So who are you getting married to? Are you sure he's human? He's not a bit overweight with a zip round his forehead is he?"
 
Are we talking strictly quotes from The Doctor? Or quotes from characters within the Whoniverse?

Quotes from The Doctor:
Time isn't a straight line. It's all... bumpy-wumpy. There's loads of boring stuff. Like Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays. Big temporal tipping points when anything's possible. --11th Doctor

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. --10th Doctor

Quotes not from The Doctor:
Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, except there is a winner. --The TARDIS

I'm the tin dog. --Mickey Smith

You will save us Doctor. --The Daleks

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?

----

The Doctor: The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
Donna Noble: You just want to mate?
The Doctor: I just want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: You're not matin' with me Sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!

----

Donna Noble: Oi! Watch it, spaceman!
The Doctor: Oi! Watch it, earthgirl!

"Just once I'd like to encounter an alien menace that WASNT immune to bullets." -The Brigadier RIP Nick Courtney.

"You just killed someone I was close to that is not a good place to be!" -Tenth Doctor
"Doctor: No. Colonel Manton, I want you to tell your men to run away.
Manton
: What?
Doctor
: Those words, "run away". I want you to be famous for those exact words. I want people to call you Colonel Runaway, I want children laughing outside your door because they've found the house of Colonel Runaway, and when people come to you and ask if trying to get to me through the people I love is in any way a good idea, I want you to tell them your name."

"You gave me hope then took it away. Thats enough to make anyone dangerous; God knows what it'll do to me." -The 11th Doctor.

"'You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? But then there's other people, and you meet them and you think 'Not bad. They're okay,' and then you get to know them, and their face just sort of becomes them, like their personality's written all over it. And they just... they turn into something so beautiful.'" -Amy Pond. I actually saw this quote somewhere on Reddit before I started watching the show and liked it a lot. Imagine my surprise when I found out Amy said it.
