“Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon or star.”

“When the moon is absent, the night started feeling restless, kept looking for the moon here and there behind the clouds. The lack of moonlight began to disturb all the stars, losing its existence even its stars started disappearing, then everyone would have spent the night without the moon.”

“And when the fog's over and the stars and the moon come out at night it'll be a beautiful sight.”

“The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars.”

“Tis "the witching time of night", / Orbed is the moon and bright, / And the stars they glisten, glisten, / Seeming with bright eyes to listen —”

“It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.”

“Whenever the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet,
A man goes riding by.
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?”

“The moon was a sharply defined crescent and the sky was perfectly clear. The stars shone with such fierce, contained brilliance that it seemed absurd to call the night dark.”

“The moon sets and the eastern sky lightens, the hem of night pulling away, taking stars with it one by one until only two are left.”

“You are the sun, you make me shine, or more like the stars, that twinkle at night. You are the moon that glows in my heart. You're my daytime, my night-time, my world…you are my life.”
