Famous quotes containing the word moon:

    “Shake off your heavy trance,
    and leap into a dance,
    Such as no mortals use to tread,
    fit only for Apollo
    To play to, for the Moon to lead,
    And all the Stars to follow.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584–1616)

    “I’ve no time now, but believe me as surely as the moon will set and the sun will rise I shall kill you tomorrow night. I shall kill you even if you hide in the deepest cave of the earth. At ten o’clock tomorrow night, I shall kill you.”
    —R.C. Sherriff (1896–1975)
