There's a story behind everything. In the beginning, there was nothing at all but the moon and the sun. And the moon wanted to come out during the day, but there was something so much brighter that seemed to fill up all those hours. By accident she poked a hole in the night and out spilled a million stars, like a fountain of tears.

“You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
