- Poul: It's impossible. It's just impossible!
- Doctor: Bumble-bees.
- Poul: What?
- Doctor: Terran insects. Aerodynamically impossible for them to fly, but they do it. I'm rather fond of bumble-bees.
For anyone who didn’t see it, let me tell you.
The Doctor’s a time traveler. He brought Vincent Van Gogh (who was severely depressed and lost hope in his ability and himself) to the future, to a museum where they are celebrating his art.
I don’t know if any of you are artists (drawing, writing, whatever), but being a writer, this scene moved me to tears. You’re your own worst critic, and feel like your stuff is complete shit sometimes…maybe even to the level of despair like Van Gogh. But imagine someone brought you to a world where people love and appreciate your art. Or it means something so special to them. The thought of it is overwhelming.
Favorite moment of all time in Doctor Who. I cried.

Ever drifting, drifting, driftingSeaweed, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On the shifting
Currents of the restless main;
Till in sheltered coves, and reaches
Of sandy beaches,
All have found repose again.
It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works — that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.
— Carl Sagan
Basically? SCIENCE RULES, AND SO DO YOU.
When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.
