“There are a few, of course, who believe that this man somehow survived, and that one day he will return.”

Lines about the Doctor, written for Darla, in Asylum of the Daleks (1 September 2012)
Context: First there were the Daleks... And then there was a man who fought them. And then, in time — he died. There are a few, of course, who believe that this man somehow survived, and that one day he will return. For both our sakes, dearest Hannah, we must hope these stories are true.
