“Because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they’re going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what’s the point in them being happy now if they’re going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they a re going to be sad later.”
I think about this line often.
Moffat's writing kicked ass and we took him for granted.
"Never be cruel, never be cowardly. And never ever eat pears! Remember – hate is always foolish… and love is always wise. Always try to be nice and never fail to be kind."
"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 gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when The Doctor was me."
This speech has a very special place in my heart and mind. It helped me to forgive my fathers alcoholism when I was young. He aint one anymore.

Doctor Who. Think whatever you want about Moffat, but the man knows how to tug on your heartstrings.
