I’ve found out that being the Doctor ... it’s not about having special knowledge or abilities.
It’s about not being cruel.
It’s about not being afraid.
There are monsters out there, yes. Terrible things.
But you don’t have to become one in order to defeat them.
You can be peaceful in the face of their cruelty. You can win by being cleverer than they are.
- Human Nature - Paul Cornell 1995
