Quote by Terry Pratchett

What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? It was only a big circle of light. And the dark of the moon was only darkness. But halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that the moon holds significance during its waxing and waning phases, rather than just when it appears as a full circle of light. It suggests that during the intermediary stage, when the moon resides between the realms of light and dark, a witch or someone deeply connected to nature can truly acknowledge and find meaning in the moon's presence. This perspective encourages a belief in the subtle and transitional aspects of life, rather than solely focusing on the more obvious and apparent elements.
