We’ve got a thing called the ‘tall poppy syndrome’ in New Zealand, where if anyone is doing really well, it’s quite common to try and bring them down – like, cut them down and say, ‘You’ve been to the moon? So what? I mean, plenty of people have been to the moon.’ Taika Waititi

Pursuing ‘philosophy of the universe’ through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call ‘stereotypical repetition.’ Yayoi Kusama
There’s no doubt that the Moon is more than a handy night light and a hair restorer for werewolves. It’s responsible for the substantial amplitude of earthly ocean tides. These are of obvious influence if you’re a geoduck, a type of clam that people dig up at low tide. Seth Shostak
In the 20th century, we had a century where at the beginning of the century, most of the world was agricultural and industry was very primitive.

And as I looked at all this I thought… I must put a roof on this toilet. Les Dawson

Bullets are fast – even a 9-millimeter handgun launches lead at Mach 1. And the bigger the bullet gets, the more grains of gunpowder it carries, the faster it goes. Modern rifles can fling the small pieces of metal at half the velocity needed to escape the gravitational pull of the Moon. Kyle Hill
The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago… had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands. Havelock Ellis

The Weezer ‘Blue’ Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket’s ‘Circuital’ is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album.
