Moon Quotes

On watching the sky and racing to reach it.

One quote is almost possessive about watching the moon at night, calling it 'my moon,' while another simply describes a deepening interest that grew over time. See how these pair with our Earth quotes.

Quotes by Linda M. Godwin

Apollo 11 was the movie premiere of moon landings, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Neil was a bit of a mystic, but also a taciturn guy from what I can tell. He really saw the moon as looking like...

Quotes by Lily Koppel

Quotes by Leroy Chiao

Donald Trump's administration is floating a proposal to return to the moon - and to shut down the International Space Station to help pay for it. The first part of this idea is good. The second is horrible.

Quotes by Leroy Chiao

I remember looking at the moon as an 8-year-old and marveling that there were two astronauts in a lander on the surface, getting ready to go out and actually walk. That settled it for me: I knew I was going...

Quotes by Leroy Chiao

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.

Quotes by Les Brown

I've never been a huge Zeppelin fan, much to the chagrin of everybody else in my former band. But certainly those Pink Floyd records, I was really into them, especially 'Dark Side of the Moon.'

Quotes by Lee Ranaldo

To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild...

Quotes by Lee De Forest

I can't think of anything specific growing up that pointed me toward NASA at all. I was interested in the Moon landings just about the same as everyone else of my generation. But I never really thought about being an...

Quotes by Laurel Clark

My first record I ever got was 'Full Moon Fever.' My dad gave me a copy when I was maybe nine years old or something. And I listened to the heck out of that record. I loved that record.

Quotes by Laura Jane Grace

I'd visit the near future, close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language; distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon.

Quotes by Larry Niven

I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.

Quotes by Lana

Everything that is bad, the falling sickness - God save the mark - or the like, should be at its worst at the full moon. I suppose because it is the leader of the stars.

Quotes by Lady Gregory

The time the moon is going back, the blood that is in a person does be weakening, but when the moon is strong, the blood that moves strong in the same way. And it to be at the full, it...

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a playful, personal quote about watching the moon?
Yes: "Don't even try to talk to me when I'm watching the moon. That's my moon, baby."
Is there a quote about developing a deeper interest in the Moon?
Yes: "For a deeper interest in the Moon than I ever felt before."
Is there a quote about the Moon and Mars as candidates for life?
Yes: "The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork."
Is there a quote connecting the Apollo Moon program to Cold War politics?
Yes, one frames it as partly image-driven: "Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal." It's presented as that speaker's own historical take, not a verified fact.
Where can I find more related quotes?

Others look outward scientifically, weighing the Moon and Mars as the likeliest candidates for life in our solar system, or looking back at the Apollo program as a goal shaped as much by politics as by ambition. Read more in our Man quotes, or see where people want to Go.
