"By the ancient rites of combat, I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when you go back to the stars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of its riches, its people, its potential, when you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this – it is defended!" — Doctor Who

"Ari, to be honest, really has no enthusiasm for politics. I would call it more of a political glee. There’s a wide-eyed craziness to him when the subject comes up, which is much of the time. It scares many people. But as someone who made all of the local news stations during the presidential campaign (and even the BBC), it’s strangely entertaining to watch him speak." —D. S. Meyers
