“We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck.”

“The moon is whole all the time, but we can’t always see it. What we see is an almost moon or not-quite moon. The rest is hiding just out of view, but there’s only one moon, so we follow it in the sky. We plan our lives based on its rhythms and tides.”

“We prayed the moon would unstopper long enough to suck us through to the other side so we could see how dull the stars were at their backsides.”

“You have made the moon," The Jester said. "That is the moon.”

“The Owl and the Pussycat went to seaIn a beautiful pea-green boat:They took some honey, and plenty of moneyWrapped up in a five-pound note. . . They dined on mince and slices of quince,Which they ate with a runcible spoon;And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon,They danced by the light of the moon.”

“Don't let's ask for the moon! We have the stars!”
