| "Isn't it funny how we'll look out the window at the moon, and then we notice it's not the moon but a streetlight Also what's funny is how we do this every night." »Jack Handey Deep Thoughts |
| "Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, 'Think again, bat man.'" »Jack Handey Deep Thoughts |
| "The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to." »Carl Sandburg |

| "It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon. Which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to." »Franklin P. Jones |
| "I am part of the sea and stars And the winds of the South and North Of mountains and moon and Mars, And the ages sent me forth" »Edward H. S. Terry |
| "The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands." »Henry Havelock Ellis |
| "As the moon retaineth her nature, though darkness spread itself before her face as a curtain, so the Soul remaineth perfect even in the bosom of the fool." »Akhenaton |
| "You are a child of the Universe, no less than the moon and the stars you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should." »Max Ehrmann |
| "Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star." »Confucius |
| "The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them." »I. F. Stone |
| "I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, 'If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky.' Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh." »Jack Handey Deep Thoughts |
| "Blow O wind to where my loved one is. Touch him and come touch me soon. I'll feel his gentle touch through you and meet his beauty in the moon. These things are much for the one who loves. One can live by them alone that he and I breathe the same air and that the Earth we tread is one." »Ramayana |
| "The Church says that the Earth is flat, but I know that it is round. For I have seen the shadow on the moon and I have more faith in the Shadow than in the Church." »Ferdinand Magellan |

| "Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosiac, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill." »Henry Louis Mencken |
| "We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us or Venus But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time... Now all this is literally true, as men knew in the great past and as they will know again." »D. H. Lawrence |
