Quotes About Sun

That unblinkingly vivid Japanese sun seems the blazing focus of the glassy ocean's immeasurable burning-glass.
~ Herman Melville
Now, in that Japanese sea, the days in summer are as freshets of effulgences. That unblinkingly vivid Japanese sun seems the blazing focus of the glassy ocean's immeasurable burning-glass. The sky looks lacquered; clouds there are none; the horizon floats; and this nakedness of unrelieved radiance is as the insufferable splendors of God's throne.
~ Herman Melville
Aloft, like a royal czar and king, the sun seemed giving this gentle air to this bold and rolling sea; even as bride to groom. And at the girdling line of the horizon, a soft and tremulous motion— most seen here at the Equator—denoted the fond, throbbing trust, the loving alarms, with which the poor bride gave her bosom away.
~ Herman Melville
Wherein differ the sea and the land, that a miracle upon one is not a miracle upon the other? Preternatural terrors rested upon the Hebrews, when under the feet of Korah and his company the live ground opened and swallowed them up for ever; yet not a modern sun ever sets, but in precisely the same manner the live sea swallows up ships and crews.
~ Herman Melville
But what then? Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.
~ Herman Melville
Bence gölgem olduÄŸu söylenen ÅŸey benim esas varl???m. Bence manevi ÅŸeylere bak???m?z denizin içinden güneÅŸe bakan ve üzerlerindeki kal?n su tabakas?n?n yaln?zca bir hava tabakas? olduÄŸunu düÅŸünen istiridyeler gibi.
~ Herman Melville
Nes visa tai ?vyko plakant mano širdžiai; buvo v?jas, saul? ir debesys, visi jie sruvo per mano šird? ir per mano rankas.
~ Hermann Broch
Just before the Battle of Thermoplyae, a Spartan warrior named Dienekes was told that the Persian archers could blank out the sun with their arrows. He replied Good, then we shall have our battle in the shade.
~ Herodotus
A ten days' journey from the Garamantes there is another salt hill and spring. It is the home of the Atarantes, who alone of all known nations use no names. (Collectively they are known as the Atarantes, but no individual is given a particular name.) They curse the sun when it rises high, and abuse it in the foulest terms, because it burns and wastes both the people themselves and their land.
~ Herodotus
Hera told the tireless sun, to return, though unwillingly, to Ocean's stream.
~ Homer

Was it the Twilight of Magic? Perhaps. But only today's. Magic could never die while the sun had the power to rise again and man had the wish to seek.
~ Hugh Lofting

They watched the sun make its orbit around him. They watched the shadows growing shorter, then longer. The first day passed as though no one saw what he saw. On the second day, they began whispering among themselves. On the third day, they came rushing toward him from all directions. On the fourth day, he said to them, "All you can do is take Hamama out of this blazing heat." He was determined to maintain his vigil in the same place until the end.
~ Ibrahim Nasrallah
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
~ Jesus Christ
Cirque du Soleil means Circus of the Sun. When I need to take time to reenergize, I go somewhere by the ocean to sit back and watch the sunsets. That is where the idea of 'Soleil' came from, on a beach in Hawaii, and because the sun is the symbol of youth and energy.
~ Guy Laliberte
The sun stands for energy and youth, which is what I thought the circus should be about.
~ Guy Laliberte

~ Gareth Thomas

~ Laura Linney
I laugh with the sun, and mist that tries so hard to seduce the mountains.
~ Ruth Asawa
As the sun outshines the brightest star in the heavens, dispels every vestige of darkness and gives life and light to all beings, so, in a not too distant future, will the true religion of Christ supersede and obliterate all other religions, to the eternal benefit of mankind.
~ Max Heindel
When shooting in real spaces, the work of a cinematographer begins where location meets production design meets time of day. No movie light will ever look as real as the sun, so scheduling becomes truly paramount to naturalistic lighting.
~ Rachel Morrison
