Quotes:
From "Doctor Who: The Unquiet Dead (#1.3)" (2005)
Charles Dickens: On, on I go. Same old show. I'm like a ghost, condemned to repeat myself for all eternity.
Stage Manager: It's never too late, sir. You could think up some new turns.
Charles Dickens: No, I can't. Even my imagination grows stale.
[drinks]
Charles Dickens: I'm an old man. Perhaps I've thought everything I'll ever think.
