The Best Vincent Quotes

Vincent: [of the TARDIS console] What do these things all do?
The: Oh, a huge variety of things. Uh, this one here, for instance, plays soothing music.
[music plays and the Doctor and Amy dance]
The: Uh, while this one makes a huge amount of noise?
Amy: [nods, whispers] Yeah.
[pulls the control and a noise is produced]
The: And this one makes everything go absolutely tonto.
[the console room shakes as the TARDIS takes off, throwing Vincent off balance, and they laugh]

Vincent: [slowly turns as the Doctor speaks and interrupts, firmly] Then we shall fight him again!

Vincent: [Explaining how he sees the world] Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars!
[the sky gradually transforms into van Gogh's painting Starry Night]
Vincent: And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.

Vincent: It seems to me there's so much more to the world than the average eye is allowed to see. I believe, if you look hard, there are more wonders in this universe than you could ever have dreamt of.
