Quotes About Sun

I don't even read 'the Sun' and it's my job to read everything that's politically important. I think that's a symbol of the declining power of the mainstream media.

Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
~ Isaac Newton
Just as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
~ Isaac Newton
The ice is not very thick; the ocean beneath it is deep and tempestuous; and the sun above is warm and melting.
~ Reinhold Niebuhr
Toen ze weer over het grind liep, terug naar de mannen, begon de zon als een gek om haar as te tollen, het groen werd dieper groen, de warmte nog bladstiller en nog luier vlijde het lauwe gras zich neer, maar hoogstwaarschijnlijk was dit allemaal maar verhitte verbeelding.
~ Remco Campert

Di me due libri soltanto due libri ti restano. Verrò a prenderli un giorno e ti dirò che ho girato il mondo confuso nel tuo ricordo e ho amato tutto ciò che incontravo per disperdermi: e dirò che mi hai rubato Montale e il senno in un giorno di sole.
~ Renato Minore
The moon, B had noticed, awakened the dawn, and so the two – like pale cousins – never saw each other. Even on the most hopeful of days the moon could only peep, from a distant sky, at the sun.
~ Rene Denfeld
Little fingers, little Moon (think of that tiny "fingernail clipping" shape). • Thumb joints, Full Moon—either almost, exactly, or just past. • Widdershins means right to left, moon-wise, opposite the Sun's motion, so: • Right-hand backward-C-shape, the Moon is waxing, growing larger. • Left-hand C-shape, the Moon is waning, shrinking in size.
~ Renna Shesso
Due to the relative positions of the Sun, Venus, and the Earth, we see Venus trace a pentacle, a five-pointed star, in the sky through a series of solar conjunctions.
~ Renna Shesso
It had been unusually hot all summer. Ben Cresswell could feel the sun scorching his thighs through his cricket whites as he sat on the clubhouse veranda, waiting for his turn at bat. Colonel Huntley sat beside him, mopping his red and sweaty face. He was wearing pads because he was next up at bat. He wasn't as good a batsman as Ben, but he was team captain, and in village cricket, seniority often took precedence over ability. Only
~ Rhys Bowen
Perhaps the sound had always been there—like the high-pitched twinkling when you sink your head in calm water, or the stirring in the gel of your eye when you fix on the sun.
~ Rich Shapero
I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience - it also marks the time, which is four o clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.
~ Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Why is the sun invisible so long in winter near the farthest points north or south?
~ Richard Evelyn Byrd
Everything smelled of sheep. The dandelions were suddenly more sheep than flower, each petal reflecting wool and the sound of a bell ringing off the yellow. But the thing that smelled the most like sheep, was the sun itself. When the sun went behind a cloud, the smell of sheep decreased, like standing on some old guy's hearing aid, and when the sun came back again, the smell of the sheep was loud, like a clap of thunder inside a cup of coffee.
~ Richard Gary Brautigan
There is something in the first gray streaks stretching along the eastern horizon and throwing an indistinct light upon the face of the deep, which combines with the boundlessness and unknown depth of the sea around, and gives one a feeling of loneliness, of dread, and of melancholy foreboding, which nothing else in nature can. This gradually passes away as the light grows brighter, and when the sun comes up, the ordinary monotonous sea day begins.
~ Richard Henry Dana Jr.
Can you believe where we just were? Oh, this planet was a good one, and we too were good - as good as the burn of the sun, and the rain's sting and the smell of living soil - the all-over song of endless solutions signing the air of a changing world that by every calculation ought never to have been.
~ Richard Powers
It bruises a little in the freedom of the west, while to the east it spills open like a pomegranate. The phone clicks and goes dead. Olivia hangs up, a newly minted orphan. A thing reaching toward the sun, ready for anything.
~ Richard Powers
The canopy is a colander stippling the beetle-swarmed surfaces with specks of sun.
~ Richard Powers
Teaching is like photosynthesis: making food from air and light. It tilts the prospects for life a little. For me, the best class sessions are right up there with lying in the sun, listening to bluegrass, or swimming in a mountain stream.
~ Richard Powers
Creation itself, the natural world, already "believes" the Gospel, and lives the pattern of death and resurrection, even if unknowingly. The natural world "believes" in necessary suffering as the very cycle of life: just observe the daily dying of the sun so all things on this planet can live, the total change of the seasons, the plants and trees along with it, the violent world of animal predators and prey.
~ Richard Rohr
