Quote from Rose in A Midwinter Night's Dream
Miles: Boy, look at that great, shining orb. You know, it's hard to believe it's been hanging there for millions of years, long before man even came to be. Controls the tides, affects the weather. Without the moon, the Earth would be a barren, stagnant, uninhabitable planet, Rose. It gives life, Rose. Rose: It's a big rock, you know.
