• Dr. Douglas "Doogie" Howser : When I was a child, all my days were filled with endless wonder.

We weren't afraid, he came only for the old, not us. When I was a child, I would look to my mother's arms for warmth and my father's eyes for approval. When I was a child, I wondered... When will I be grown? Now I'm an adult and I wonder... Can I ever be a child again?

• Dr. Douglas "Doogie" Howser : [Journal Entry]  March 21, 1993... Somewhere over the Atlantic. I've spent the last nineteen years learning how to be Doogie Howser, M.D. Now it's time to learn how to be just Doogie.
