 In Never Leave Me, just before the council is blown up, Quentin Travers says “We are still masters of our fates, Still captains of our souls”. This is a reference to Invictus by W.E. Henley - the lines are “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The whole poem is actually extremely relevant for the whole of season seven, especially the lines: ”Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years/ Finds and shall find me unafraid.” |

The most obvious reference is that he’s quoting Winston Churchill.
