Man In The Moon Quotes

My first and last philosophy ... I learnt in the nursery... The things I believed then, the things I believe most now, are the things called fairy tales... They are not fantasies: compared with them other things are fantastic... Fairyland is nothing but the sunny country of common sense. It is not earth that judges heaven, but heaven that judges earth ... I knew the magic beanstalk before I tasted beans; I was sure of the Man in the Moon before I was certain of the moon. I am concerned with a... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jeanette Winterson quote: "Under the night rug, the star rug, moon as lantern, man in the..."
Under the night rug, the star rug, moon as lantern, man in the moon watching over us, dog star at his heels, we lay. Jeanette Winterson
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Even the moon is only poetical because there is a man in the..."
Even the moon is only poetical because there is a man in the moon. Gilbert K. Chesterton
I have always noticed that people who live in the practice of vice think the servants of God ought not to allude to things so coarse! We are allowed to denounce the sins of the man in the moon and the vices of savages in the middle of Africa—but as to the everyday vices of this city of London—if we put our finger upon them in God’s name, then straightway someone cries, “It is indelicate to allude to these things! Charles Spurgeon
Martin Freeman quote: "I look like the man in the moon."
I look like the man in the moon. Martin Freeman
Man’s wants remain unsatisfied till death. Then, when his soul is naked, is he one With the man in the wind, and the west moon, With the harmonious thunder of the sun Dylan Thomas
I'm an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas / but not afraid / to speak my lonesomeness in a car, / because not only my lonesomeness / it's Ours, all over America, / O tender fellows --/ & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy / in the moon 100 years ago or in / the middle of Kansas now. Allen Ginsberg
What will it profit this country if we... put our man on the Moon by 1970 and at the same time you can't walk down Woodward Avenue in this city without fear of some violence? Jerome Cavanagh
This administration and these folk who run Washington are no more interested in our welfare and our well being than the man on the moon. And we have got to start taking our destiny into our hands. Tavis Smiley
The real moon, if you could reach it and survive it, would in a deep and deadly sense be just like anywhere else... no man would find an abiding strangness on the moon unless he were the sort of man who could find it in his own back garden. C. S. Lewis
In my craft or sullen art. Exercised in the still night. When only the moon rages. And the lovers lie abed. With all their griefs in their arms, I labour by singing light. Not for ambition or bread. Or the strut and trade of charms. On the ivory stages. But for the common wages. Of their most secret heart. Not for the proud man apart. From the raging moon I write. On these spindrift pages. Nor for the towering dead. With their nightingales and psalms. But for the lovers, their arms. Round the... Dylan Thomas
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops. Of the snow-shining mountains--beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night. Hath been to me a more familiar face. Than that of man, and in her starry shade. Of dim and solitary loveliness. I learned the language of another world. George Byron
In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there. John F. Kennedy
That Jones shall worship the god within him turns out ultimately to mean that Jones shall worship Jones. Let Jones worship the sun or moon, anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The... Gilbert K. Chesterton
I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars? Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. . . . Then he was sorry for the great fish that had nothing to eat and his determination to kill him never relaxed in his sorrow for him. . . . There is no one worthy of eating him from the manner of his behavior and his great dignity. I do not understand these things, he thought. But it is good... Ernest Hemingway
