“This thing up here, this consciousness, thinks it's running the shop. It's a secondary organ.”
Joseph Campbell The Power of Myth
Episode 1, Chapter 12
The Power of Myth (1988)
Context: This thing up here, this consciousness, thinks it's running the shop. It's a secondary organ. It's a secondary organ of a total human being, and it must not put itself in control. It must submit and serve the humanity of the body.

“When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end.”
Steven Moffat (1961) Scottish television writer and producer
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.
“Then why did you run? A man who runs needs no other accusation.”
