• The moon is a loyal companion.
  It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
  Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

  Tahereh Mafi

  23 Copy quote

• Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless.

• Clear mind is like the full moon in the sky. Sometimes clouds come and cover it, but the moon is always behind them. Clouds go away, then the moon shines brightly.

Thinking comes and goes, comes and goes, You must not be attached to the coming or the going.

• Admit something.
  
  Everyone you see, you say to them
  "Love me."
  
  Of course you do not do this out loud:
  Otherwise,
  Someone would call the cops.
  
  Still, though, think about this,
  This great pull in us to connect.
  
  Why not become the one
  Who lives with a full moon in each eye
  That is always saying,
  
  With that sweet moon
  Language
  
  What every other eye in this world
  Is dying to
  Hear?

  Hafez

  Sweet, Eye, Moon

• Should at that moment the full moon Step forth upon the hill, And memories hard to bear at noon, By moonlight harder still, Form in the shadows of the trees, - Things that you could not spare And live, or so you thought, yet these All gone, and you still there, A man no longer what he was, Not yet the thing he planned.
