“He notado que a veces inspiro temor. Pero lo que cada uno teme es a sí mismo. Creen que yo soy la causa de sus preocupaciones, mas
lo que en realidad los asusta es el enano que llevan dentro, la caricatura humana de rostro simiesco que suele asomar la cabeza desde las profundidades del alma.

rostros inexpresivos. Pero hay siempre en ellos alguna otra cosa que fingen ignorar; viven, sin saberlo, muchas vidas a la vez. Son
singularmente recelosos e incoherentes. Y son deformes, aun cuando esto no sea visible”

It's his shell, like a tortoise, if a tortoise was soft on the outside and dangerous on the inside. That's how the Time War ended: he got to the bottom of his patience, and he took two entire civilisations out of the universe and lock them away, and one of them was his own.
