- "Besides, the only task of the Time Lords was to watch and make notes [...] Seeing alternative time lines evolve, watching different parallel universes blossom into existence before their tired and unadventurous eyes, observing the births, lives and deaths of trillions upon trillions of individuals. That was what the Time Lords did with their special gifts."
- ― A description of the Time Lords (Doctor Who)
- "The time is now."
- ― Aeon (Castlevania: Judgement)
- "Using a Time Machine is a mortal sin against the cosmic balance. And abusing the natural flow of time could hold serious repercussions for the fabric of reality itself. And because of you and your actions, despite your noble intentions, this could spell the end of the universe as we know it if left unchecked. If you want to atone for this, you and I are going to work very closely, Trunks."
