That line, when I heard that. That actually made me sit up in my chair and stare at the screen, wide eyed. There is more power in that line, then any other i have seen. One would think "I'm not locked in here with you, your locked in here with me" ( -Rochach) is powerful, but it holds nothing to that of the Doctor's. The very words chosen, and put in that order, screams -- No -- BELLOWS sadness. As if a personal defeat. "Good people don't need rules to be good." - A lot of people today barely understand the power of that sentence alone. But for him to say it. It just hits in a way. Another way to say it would be: "Rules guide me, unlike good people, who do not need any." Is just impactful, if you know the context. Imagine: You stand before the most wonderful (wo)man, the (wo)man whom all aspire to be, and they simply say: "I'm guided by rules, not goodness. Good people don't need rules." Everything you thought you knew of the (wo)man is torn down. And you learn that such a person, is in fact, not so good after all.

Which is taken from a Roman Legionnaire that more than a few may or may not know, Scipio Africanus. "When your enemies stand defiant, crush them by blade and fire. When they are defeated and crushed under heel, you help them to their feet and bring them into your fold. In this way their strength becomes yours and old hatreds are removed." Caesar lived by this mantra and it was VERY effective.

@@Nempo13 True, but Tywin's quote is from a different context. He was explaining to Joffrey why it was unwise to simply slaughter everyone, when a lord or lords rebelled. The rest of the quote is "Elsewise, no man will bend the knee to you." I think he was trying to tell the young psychopath that making every petty defiance a "two men enter, one man leaves" scenario was a bad idea because, sooner or later, the one who doesn't leave will be him.

@@theengagedfew It's also useful against an enemy that is defiant by nature. For example, if the Klingons know that they are going to be slaughtered down to the last individual, they'll go out of their way to kill as many of their enemy as possible, just out of spite, AND to make their worlds unusable. A different enemy from rebelling lords, but eh, I could see Joffrey becoming a conqueror if he had the resources. Let's just say it's a good thing that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Westeros, or else a psychopath like Joffrey might have taught every living thing the meaning of "mutually assured destruction", because sometimes extinction can seem to be the lesser of two evils.
