Anne RiceWhite in the moon the long road lies, The moon stands blank above; White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love. Still hangs the hedge without a gust, Still, still the shadows stay: My feet upon the moonlit dust Pursue the ceaseless way. The world is round, so travellers tell, And straight through reach the track, Trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well, The way will guide one back. But ere the circle homeward hies Far, far must it remove: White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.

Mary RuefleI think that โNew Moonโ was my favorite book as well mainly because I like the juxtaposition of all sudden people beingโฆitโs such a hyped character, Edward, and there are so many people looking at him like a romantic hero. In โNew Moonโ, the way that I read it anyway, heโs just so humbled. Itโs a character whoโs looking at Bella and thinking that he loves something too much but he canโt be around. He deliberately starts breaking up their relationship which I think is a very relatable thing and I think is very kind of painful.

Let your mouth be a cavern of stars.

Mitch AlbomSo we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night, Though the heart still be as loving, And the moon still be as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul outwears the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest. Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon.

Sarah DessenYou're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time any more for anyone else. You're one of the few who put up with me. That's why I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow.

We were obsessed with the moon and whether we could one day visit it. The day we finally walked on it was celebrated worldwide as perhaps man's greatest achievement. But it was while we were there, gathering rocks from the moon's desolate landscape, that we looked up and caught a glimpse of just how incredible our own planet was. Its singular astonishing beauty. We called her Mother Earth. Because she gave birth to us, and then we sucked her dry.

Jane GoodallThere are so many times in life when you have to suppress what you're feeling.

Chaske SpencerIt was a realization for me when Oprah was talking about New Moon. I was like, "Oh, my god, she's watched a movie that I've been in!"

The idea that somebody that I've admired for so long had seen something that I'd done was when I understood the magnitude of it.
