30 Moon Quotes on Mesmerizing Celestial Beauty

The sky and all the bright objects it displays has always been a source of our fascination. The moon and its grand beauty in the nighttime even more so. As children, we’ve looked up in awe of its ‘power’. We’ve come to learn how the universe is filled with celestial bodies and how we’re drawn to those that shine.

When the earth turns dark, the moon glows and gives us light. It also gives us the strangest feeling, how it feels so near when it’s out of reach. It’s no wonder we’ve always associated the moon with a distant dream we want to achieve. “Shoot for the moon”, they said. How it shines in the darkness simply gives us hope.

While the moon is really just mostly rock that gets its glow from the sun, for people who look up at the sky to feel inspired, it’s more than that. It’s life, it’s dreams, it’s hope – it’s everything good waiting to happen. Here are 30 moon quotes proving that our world’s natural satellite inspires us in ways that are beyond amazing.

There was just one moon. That familiar, yellow, solitary moon. The same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose–a gleaming, round saucer–over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. The same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night.
