About This Quote
When a thing has been around a long time, people stop noticing its presence. When a thing disappears, people take notice. The stars are going out. They are going out all over the world and the moon is going out too.
It is going out as God crumbles it up to make new stars. Some people figure that if God crumbles things up, he also makes everything new again.
