“I save the human race. I don’t shape the human race. You can get that wrong all on your own.” — The Doctor to Kate Lethbridge-Stewart at some unspecified point in time.
True dat.

@colin@mastodon.colincogle.name I like the similar (but more cynical) line used in "Torchwood: Children of Earth' "There's one thing I always meant to ask Jack. Back in the old days, I wanted to know about that Doctor of his. The man who appears out of nowhere and saves the world. Except sometimes he doesn't. All those times in history when there was no sign of him, I wanted to know why not. But I don't need to ask any more. I know the answer now. Sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet and turn away in shame."
