Sunsets Quotes

“If man really is fashioned, more than anything else, in the image of God, then clearly it follows that there is nothing on earth so near to God as a human being. The conclusion is inescapable, that to be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive specimen of humanity of the world is still to be closer to God than when looking up into a starry sky or at a beautiful sunset. Certainly that is why there is nothing in the new testament about beautiful sunsets.- Mike Mason -Author of "The Mystery of Marriage”

“Sanibel Island is an alluring paradox. A primordial landscape, buzzing with tourists. A tropical hideaway where storybook sunsets heal souls, and violent hurricanes destroy property. A cherished corner of Old Florida, in the midst of a modernizing metamorphosis. Where unfettered wildness thrives, even as ecological challenges mount. A dream place where I can explore the boundaries between coastal textures, the rhythm of nature, and the stuff of humankind; and create art that is honest and authentic.”

“BEING LATE From where do simplicity and ease In the movement of heavenly bodies derive? It is precision. Sun is never late to rise upon the Earth, Moon is never late to cause the tides, Earth is never late to greet the Sun and the Moon; Thus, accidents are not accidents But precise arrivals at the wrong right time. Love is almost never simple; Too often, feelings arrive too soon, Waiting for thoughts that often come too late. I wanted, too, to be simple and precise Like the Sun, Like the Moon, Like the Earth But the Earth was booked Billions of years in advance; Designed to meet all desires, All arrivals, all sunrises, all sunsets, All departures, So I will have to be a little bit late.”

“People flocked like lemmings to the water's edge all across Michigan's vast coastline every pretty summer evening to watch the spectacular sunsets. They were marvelous spectacles, a fireworks display most nights- a kaleidoscope of color and light in the sky, white clouds turning cotton candy pink, Superman ice cream blue, and plum purple, the sun a giant fireball that seemed to melt in the water as it began to slink behind the wavy horizon. Sunsets are one of our simplest and most profound gifts, Sam remembered her grandma telling her years ago as they walked the shoreline looking for witches' stones- the ones with holes in them- or pretty Petoskeys to make matching necklaces. They remind us that we were blessed to have enjoyed a perfect day, and they provide hope that tomorrow will be even better. It's God's way of saying good night with His own brand of fireworks.”

“Sono del tutto diversi tra loro i tramonti e le albe sui versanti orientale e occidentale, là dove comincia Castello o dove finisce S. Croce, nei pressi del Magazzini del Sale o dell'Arsenale. Forse sarebbe opportuno spostarsi da una parte all'altra di quello che fu detto il Golfo di Venetia, attraversare l'Adriatico intero da un capo all'altro per rendersi conto delle differenze. Da quella sponda il sole al tramonto si adagia sulla superficie del mare e vi affonda, da quest'altra, alla fine del giorno, si corica dietro le alture della terraferma e sparisce. Sul litorale orientale le popolazioni hanno coniato la parola suton derivata da «sun(ce)» e «ton(e)» ― nel significato di sole (che) affonda. Su quello occidentale, appenninico, il tramonto viene da «tra (i) monti» ― il sole che si precipita in mezzo alle montagne o le rive stesse. Sull'una e sull'altra sponda le lingue si sono adeguate al sole.”
