The Wit and Wisdom of... The Ninth Doctor

Do you know like we were saying about the Earth revolving? It's like when you were a kid. The first time they tell you the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go. 

That's who I am. 

Now, forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.

The Ninth Doctor, Rose, 26/03/2005. This was the start of the first regular Doctor Who series since 1989.
