"Because that's how I see the universe. Every waking second, I can see what is, what was, what could be, what must not. That's the burden of a Time Lord, Donna. And I'm the only one left."
― The Doctor (Doctor Who)
"I've seen everything that has ever happened, ever will happen, ever could happen."
― The Watcher (MCU/What If ...?)
"His corpse had remained unchanged for 120 years. He had created a perfect miniature world where he could reach any answer by recreating the past, present, and future. That sage among sages had produced the secret art that could heal the entire world."
