“Once upon a time, there was a boy. He lived in a village that no longer exists, in a house that no longer exists, on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything was discovered, and everything was possible. Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived in a house across the field, from a girl who no longer exists. They made up a thousand games. She was queen and he was king. In the autumn light her hair shone like a crown. They collected the world in small handfuls, and when the sky grew dark, they parted with leaves in their hair.”

“Pluto is interesting because it’s fixed on its moon, Charon, and they rotate around each other, constantly staring at each other affectionately, which is kind of a beautiful metaphor but I think that’s one of the reasons why it was demoted. Because I think now to be a proper planet you have to command the authority of others and because the moon and Pluto are sort of existentially attached as equals neither of them can be considered a planet. [Pauses] Sad, but true.”

This Woolly Bear Caterpillar lives in the Arctic and no matter how fast it eats, it can never gather enough food in one summer to turn into a moth. In winter it freezes solid and awakes four months later to start eating again. This happens year after year, but eventually a very special spring arrives. At the age of 14 it weaves a silk cocoon and becomes a moth. When it emerges the moth only has a few days to find a partner and mate. (Frozen Planet - BBC)
Struggle and disappointment and then a fleeting moment of triumph and then you die
