15 Doctor Who Quotes That Might Change Your Life

Look, I know that "Doctor Who" is overrated. I know it's geeky. I know it's problematic. But hear me out, "Doctor Who" is a show that changed my life. Yeah, the writing isn't the best, and the plot line is pretty twisted, but the acting is phenomenal and there are moments throughout the series that will drive you to tears.

Below, I've compiled 15 of the greatest quotes from the "Doctor Who" reboot series.

I hope they impact you as strongly as they impacted me.

1. “It all just disappears, doesn't it, everything you are, in a moment, like breath in a mirror.”

The 11th Doctor, The Time Of The Doctor

2. "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame. Whatever the cost."

The War Doctor, The Day Of The Doctor

3. “The Universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes—very rarely—impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.”

The 11th Doctor, The Pandorica Opens

4. “The soul's made of stories, not atoms. Everything that ever happened to us - people we loved, people we lost... people we found again against all the odds.”

The 11th Doctor, The Rings Of Akhaten

5. “There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

Charles Dickens (quoting William Shakespeare), The Unquiet Dead

6. “You spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you’re going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take the time to imagine the impossible. That, maybe, you survive.”

The Ninth Doctor, The End Of The World

7. "Sometimes the only choices you have is bad ones, but you still have to choose."

The Twelfth Doctor, Mummy On The Orient Express

8. “Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”

The Doctor, The Lazarus Experiment

9. "Every life is a pile of good things and... bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.”

The Eleventh Doctor, Vincent and the Doctor

10. “We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”

The Eleventh Doctor, The Big Bang

11. “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.”

The Eleventh Doctor, The Impossible Astronaut

12. “Never be cruel, and never be cowardly, and if you are, always make amends.”

The Twelfth Doctor, Hell Bent

13. “The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world or a relationship, everything has its time. And everything ends.”

Sarah Jane, School Reunion

14. “Letting it get to you. You know what that’s called? Being alive. Best thing there is. Being alive right now is all that counts.”

The Eleventh Doctor, The Doctor’s Wife

15. “We all change, when you think about it. We’re all different people all through our lives and that's okay, that's good you've got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.”

The Eleventh Doctor, The Time of The Doctor

The Season 10 trailer was released in April, and although it won't air until spring 2017, I couldn't be more excited to see what "Doctor Who" has in store.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
