Child of Dormammu: What is this thing, master?
Dormammu: It is just a man. Never have you seen his like!

"There is... no reply. [...] My people. My followers. My... family. I sense... nothing of them. Not even the slightest passing thought. They are... gone. Something must have happened. A great natural cataclysm... a war, perhaps, in which they wiped each other out. [...] Even if I could conquer this world single-handedly... what purpose would it serve? There are none others like me to praise my efforts... to appreciate my greatness. To see me as something other than... a beast. I am... alone."
— Fin Fang Foom, Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man
"I am Thul-Kar — son of Krypton — Last of that mighty world's mightiest race — the Wizards of Juru!"
Quiggold: But have I mentioned the clone?
Gruk: What... what kind of clone?
Quiggold: The only kind that anyone ever means when they say "the clone." The last clone, I think. We found him in cold storage. He's a medic... but the way he fights... you've never seen anything like this. No one has... not in a generation, I'd guess. And he's so angry. And he's so sad. He used to have millions of brothers... now he's the last. But he still hears them. They whisper to him. He's still fighting his war. I don't think he can ever stop.

"He wasn't just A Time Lord, he was THE Time Lord. The Last of the Time Lords. His people were no more, vanished from time and space. Forgotten except in myth, legend, and the memories of the higher species who were still in reeling in awe of the War's stunning, cataclysmic conclusion.
"They're all gone," the Time Lord said in his new northern accent as he stumbled forward. "I'm the only one left.""

Literature
"Searcher was a crumpled, twisted mess. I landed on an undamaged spar and stood there a while. The gravestone of my people. The last Ketran now stood vigil at the gravestone of his race. Explorer was in better condition. It lay upside down, which was an inconvenience in gravity, but the engines powered up, and the systems worked. She would fly.
I could leave Father's moon. And go where? I was now as alien as it was possible to be. The only Ketran in a galaxy that, with few exceptions, had never known we existed."

"I am the last of my kind," the Perslop said. "I came over here to tell you that you are not."
— The History Within Us, by Matthew Kressel
"I raised my unanswered cry, lifting up the only voice that could ever again force the mute air to syllable the human thought."
"As for what this is — what he is — you will see soon enough. This I will tell you: to my knowledge there are only three men like him in all the USSR. One is a Mongol from the Altai region, a tribal witch-doctor, almost dead of syphilis and useless to us. Another is hopelessly mad and scheduled for corrective lobotomy, following which he too will be... beyond our reach. That leaves only this one and his is an instinctive art, hard to teach. Which makes him sui generis. That's Latin, a dead language. Most appropriate."
— Gregor Borowitz, Necroscope
They hunt me with dogs in the daylight,
they hunt me with torches by night.
For these men who are small can never stand tall,
whilst giants still walk in the light.
Oooooooh, I am the last of the giants,
so learn well the words of my song.
For when I am gone the singing will fade,
and the silence shall last long and long.
— Wildling folk song, A Song of Ice and Fire

The Doctor: Well, you're never gonna get any. Not ever.

Dalek: You destroyed us?!
The Doctor: [turns away] ... I had no choice.

Dalek: I have been searching for the Daleks.
The Doctor: Yeah, I saw. Downloading the internet. What did you find?
Dalek: I scanned your satellites and radio telescopes
The Doctor: And?
Dalek: Nothing. Where shall I get my orders now?!
The Doctor: You're just a soldier without commands.
Dalek: Then I shall follow the primary order — the Dalek instinct to destroy! To conquer!
The Doctor: What for?! What's the point?! Don't you see, it's all gone! Everything you were, everything you stood for.

Something more than death has happened,
or, rather, a different kind of death.
There is no survivor, there is no future,
there is no life to be recreated in the form again.
We are looking upon the uttermost finality which can be written,
glimpsing the darkness which will not know another ray of light.
We are in touch with the reality of extinction.
