"For the application in self,

• the try,
• the effort,
• the energy expended in the proper direction,

is all that is required of you."

"Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours"

— Andrzej Żuławski 1989

“Night, to ancient people, was not an ‘absence of light’ or negative darkness, but a powerful source of energy and inspiration. At night the cosmos reveals herself in her vastness, the earth opens to moisture and germination under the moonlight, and the magnetic serpentine current stirs itself in the underground waters–just as the thick, snakey spray of stars, the Milky Way, winds across the night sky. Moon phases are a part of the great cosmic dance in which everything participates: the movement of the celestial bodies, the pulse of tides, the circulation of blood and sap in animals and plants. Observation of the night sky, of the stars, and especially of the moon, was the beginning of mathematics and science.”

— Monica Sjöö & Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mother
