About This Quote

When you look up at the stars in the sky, they’re so far away that they seem to be pale. But when you get closer to them, they start to get brighter and more colorful. They become bolder and more beautiful until finally, when you’re far enough away that the moon is the only thing in the sky, they become just like our sun. As you get farther away from the moon, because of its light, everything else gets darker and darker until it’s just like nighttime.
