About This Quote
The moon only dares compete with the stars when the sun is in its corner this is a saying from a chinese poet named Kang Sheng. In this poem he explains that the moon only dares to compete with the stars when the sun is in its corner. In other words, when the moon is at its brightest and closest to the Earth, it is also at its weakest. This gives it no chance to compete with the stars.
The idea of a competition between a person and a rival comes from this poem. The idea of competition can be used to display how a person feels about someone else or something else.
