Jack KerouacAnd all the insects ceased in honor of the moon.
About This Quote
It’s not often that an insect stops working at night, but this is one time when they did. When the night sky looked like the surface of the moon, all of the insects in the jungle stopped work. They realized that if they worked during this time, their efforts would be in vain. That’s when they stopped in honor of the moon.
