Doctor Who Quotes Throughout the Seasons

If you can’t get enough of the Time Lord, Dr. Who, you’ll enjoy the Doctor Who quotes below. 

There are few shows that can expand multiple decades.

Or to go off the air and then successfully come back again years later.

But Doctor Who managed to do all that and more. 

It’s the story of an extraterrestrial Time Lord that travels throughout space and time in human form.

The show has successfully managed to continue due to the way the storyline writes in a change of the main character casting as Doctor Who regenerates when the current body is worn down.

Below is our collection of inspirational, wise and funny Doctor Who quotes and sayings from the different seasons.
