Maybe the moon just lost herself gazing too long at the brilliance of the sun and that’s how she got her glow. And maybe we’re made of the same mysterious sort of magic that makes us magnify and mirror whatever we look at the most.

About This Quote

This quote is a play on words, with the word “magic” being used twice in one sentence, referring to the idea that the moon has lost her glow because she was looking at the sun. The last part of the quote refers to the idea that we are made of the same mysterious sort of magic as the moon, magnifying and reflecting what we look at most. This idea is a thought-provoking one, as it suggests that the way we look at ourselves has a direct effect on our behavior. In other words, if you look down on yourself and others, you will see less good in others and good in yourself. If you look up to others and treat them with kindness, however, you will find a wonderful world full of good people.
