Moon Matched

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or matched:

    “The moon is full tonight
    And hurts the eyes,
    It is so definite and bright.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
