The Ten Spot Introduction
Dec. 8th, 2007 10:49 pmTen Significant Truths:
1. A very long time ago, I ran away from home.
2. When I did that, I became the Doctor; that's the only name that matters now.
3. Since then, I've seen countless wonders and horrors, saved worlds, cost lives, and died four times.
4. Once, because of all of this, I was executed, and had my friends taken from me; it didn't stop me then, and it wouldn't stop me now.
5. I still miss them, and everyone else I've lost, but I will always feel grateful to have known them – though, sometimes, I wish they hadn't known me.
6. My life can be very dangerous, and on occasion that's very tiring, but I don't regret having it.
7. Boundless freedom, the power to make a difference, the joy of discovery, the wondrous potential in every living being…I could never it up.
8. That doesn't mean I will ever forget being helpless to save lives, being forced to violence, knowing there are things I cannot change.
9. I am a pacifist, a murderer, a hero, a demon, a genius, a fool; an ancient renegade and a lost youth.
10. I can show you the stars.
