I found this a very interesting read. :)

What I liked:

1) The book contains a wealth of information about All Things Phantom. It's clearly a labour of love, and a tremendous amount of time and energy must have gone into researching and writing it.

Jane Austen
“There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty; not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution. - Mr. Knightley”
― Jane Austen, Emma

Neil Gaiman
“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.”
― Neil Gaiman

Steven Moffat
“There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick.”
― Steven Moffat

Russell T. Davies
“Cyber Leader: Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen.
Dalek Sec: This is not war - this is pest control!
Cyber Leader: We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?
Dalek Sec: Four.
Cyber Leader: You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?
Dalek Sec: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek! You superior in only one respect.
Cyber Leader: What is that?
Dalek Sec: You are better at dying.”
― Russell T. Davies

Sigmund Freud
“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”
― Sigmund Freud
