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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
