“Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.”
Quoted in: Scott Slater, Alec Solomita (1980), Exits: stories of dying moments & parting words. p. 8.
Slater & Solomita (1980) explained:
"It was a spirited dinner and Picasso a cheerful, genial host. After the meal, while pouring wine into a friend's glass, Picasso said, Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more. A little later, about 11:30 P.M., he left his guests, saying, And now I must go back to work. He was up painting until 3:00 A.M. That morning Picasso woke at 11:30, unable to move. By 11:40 he was dead..".

From an interview for Entertainment Tonight 5 November 2008 http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/11/67315/index.html
Context: If you love what you do, you can balance and you can juggle (work and family). You have to set your priorities straight. You can't just work, work, work. Because then all of a sudden, you don't have a family... then why did you work so much when you're all by yourself in the end? So for me, I always wanted to have a family, for me that was the most important thing, and I found a man that wanted to have that with me.

“When life sucks, read. They can't yell at you for that. And if they do, then you can ignore them.”
“When you get… to the end, you see that love and family are all there is. Nothing else matters.”

“When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end.”
Lines written for River Song, in Forest of the Dead [4.9] (7 June 2008)
Context: When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.

“Well, Mr. Prime Minister, I can't waste any more time on you. I must get back to work.”

“Got something new, maybe it'll work before the end of the day if that's ok.”
