The Doctor (Daughter C):

Well, perfect to look at, maybe. And it was, it was beautiful. They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords. The oldest and most mighty race in the universe. Looking down on the galaxies below, sworn never to interfere, only to watch. Children of Gallifrey were taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the Academy. Some say that’s where it all began, when he was a child. That’s when the Master saw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It’s a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the vortex. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of Time and Space, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad. Oh, I dunno.

Fred Sanford (Mr. Big Food):

We could have a little pork and beans now and a little zucchini later. Or a little zucchini now and a little pork and beans later. Or if you like the pork and beans, you can have them and I’ll take the zucchini or I can take the pork and beans and you the zucchini so what will it be? Zucchini or pork and beans?

From Sanford and Son (TV series, 1972-1977)

Russell “Ol’ Dirty Bastard” Jones (The J-Man):

Here I go, deep type flow,
Jacques Cousteau could never get this low:

I’m ODB, in the place to be,
Didn’t go to St. John’s University.
In the streets of Brooklyn, I acquired the knowledge
A low of mathematics that’s higher college.
I’m fly on skins that I get in Queens,
She love filthy swine and my collard greens.

From “Da Mystery of Chessboxing” and “Sucker M.C.’s”

Mary Lamb (Marica):

Tell my friend the Poetess that I expect some French verses from her shortly.

J.L. Austin (The J-Man):

It is worth bearing in mind, too, the general rule that we must not expect to find simple labels for complicated cases… however well-equipped our language, it can never be forearmed against all possible cases that may arise and call for description: fact is richer than diction.

“A Plea for Excuses,” Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 57: 1–30, 1957.

“Works and Days” Lines 238-249.

The Twelfth Doctor Who (Daughter C):

Oh, what’s this? Well, are you gardeners? I hate gardening. What sort of person has a power complex about flowers? It’s dictatorship for inadequates. Or to put it another way, it’s dictatorship. Come on! Chop, chop! The Doctor will see you now.
