How could I possibly NOT be disappointed by what I would find? Nothing had ever met my expectation, since nothing could compete with my doctoring imagination, my pathetic compulsion to make the world quanter, funnier, kinder, and more mysterious than it actually was.

About This Quote

This quote is a wonderful example of a blue moon, a term used to refer to a rare supermoon. In this case, the most interesting thing about this quote is not anything about the moon itself, but the person's ability to see so much in so little. In many affairs of life, it's easy to overlook the good things around you—after all, there is so much that can be wrong. The moon itself may seem unremarkable, but it carries with it something that is just as important—a reminder that every day brings something new.
