Just one!? I have two that define Matt Smith's doctor for me, but I'll just give you one.
"No, HUMAN gets to talk to me today!"
That's the moment he sold me as The Doctor.0 -

When 10 was in the gas mask and looked right at the Army commander without missing a beat "Are you my Mummy"!0 -
Whenever i'm having a bad day or just feeling down I think of this & I always feel better. For someone who's lived through what I have that's huge & I remember it often thanks to the Doctor!

The Doctor: What the hell are you here for?
Dalek: I am waiting for orders.
The Doctor: What does that mean?
Dalek: I am a soldier. I was bred to receive orders.
The Doctor: Well you're never gonna get them. Not ever.
Dalek: I demand orders!
The Doctor: They're never gonna come! Your race is dead. You all burned—all of you. Ten million ships on fire. The entire Dalek race, wiped out in one second.
Dalek: You lie!
The Doctor: I watched it happen. I made it happen.
Dalek: You destroyed us?
The Doctor: I had no choice.
Dalek: And what of the Time Lords?
The Doctor: Dead. They burned with you. The end of the last great Time War. Everyone lost.
Dalek: And the coward survived.0 -
First to come to mind-
"I'm the Doctor. And I just snogged Madame de Pompadour."0 -
The last episode with David Tennant. I don't remember the exact words, but the Doctor was talking to Wilf about being a Time Lord.
Wilf: We must look like ants to you.
Doctor: I think you look like giants.
(Or something like that ... feel free to correct misquote)0 -
Captain Jack Harkness: [to a refugee] Captain Jack Harkness. And who are you?
The Doctor: Stop it!
And all the various versions of this exchange

You may be A doctor.
But I'm The Doctor.
The definite article, you might say.0 -
This isn't really that short, but it is one of my favourite:
Amy in The Girl Who Waited:
"You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful — and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick; but then there's other people. And you meet them and you think, "Not bad, they're okay," and when you get to know them ... their face just, sort of, becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just — they turn into something so beautiful. Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met".
I absolutely love this!0 -
"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant." From "Vincent and the Doctor"
I had a painting made of this quote to put up at our wedding. My husbands mother died 2 months before we got married... and this was a reminder that no matter how much we ached for her to be there... it was still an amazing and wonderful moment.0 -

"It goes 'ding' when there's stuff."
Because this is so me at work and grad school right now.0 -
"Do what I do: hold on tight and pretend it's a plan."
ETA: Because this is so me, all the time.0 -
It was way back at the beginning of the new series. 9 explaining to Rose how his mind was full of the universe, the whirling of time and space-- it was full of wonder and anger (lonely and angry god). It totally redefined the Doctor in a good way. Made him "darkly Doctor"
My first Doctor was goofy Tom Baker. Loved it but it was a different kind of story. Gallifrey still existed, even if they were a bunch of space ponces that exiled the Doctor to only travel earth's time line in the Jon Pertwee days. The Doctor was basically AWOL, running from whatever government philosophy or high Timelord duty he was to supposed embrace.
Still not sure what happened after the Peter Davison days in regards to the story. My Whovian lore is lacking.about the Time War and the Doctor's tragic part in it, but it seems that the Doctor in the new series is much older, and a little more powder keg. 9 did an excellent job of bringing the Doctor back to us all.0 -
Always loved this for some reason:

First one comes to mind
"Ragged man, goodbye"
The picked this mainly because of the whole scene, there are many great quotes most of them involing Wilf and Tennatt, but that qoute in that scene just kills me every time.0 -

The Ninth Doctor
The Doctor: Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world is turning and you just can't believe it because everything looks like its standing still. I can feel it. (he grabs her hand) The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet spinning a thousand miles an hour. And the entire earth spinning around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world and we let go... (let's go of her hand) that's who I am.
Now forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home.0
