Amy: Amazing, though, don’t you think? The Star Whale. All that pain and misery…and loneliness…and it just made it kind.

The Doctor: But you couldn’t have known how it would react.

It's happy for 'deep people'

Here is a quote from the Doctor Who episide Blink. I think it's 'deep'!

Sally Sparrow: I love old things. They make me feel sad.
Kathy Nightingale: What's good about sad?
Sally Sparrow: It's happy for deep people.
