Quotes About Sun

Opinion is a flitting thing. But truth outlasts the sun.
~ Emily Dickinson
If she ever got the chance to settle down, it would be in the U.S. — on the west coast though. Somewhere with sun.
~ Eoin Colfer
Even as the Sun doth not wait for prayers and incantations to rise, but shines forth and is welcomed by all: so thou also wait not for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do thy duty; nay, do good of thine own accord, and thou wilt be loved like the Sun.
~ Epictetus
Así como el Sol no espera que las oraciones y conjuros se levanten, sino que resplandece y es bien recibido por todos: así que tú tampoco esperes aplaudir y gritar y alabar para cumplir con tu deber; no, haz el bien por tu propia voluntad, y serás amado como el Sol.
~ Epictetus

If you think about the truest joy you've ever experienced, my guess is that it came along by accident. Rather than thinking about fear or even happiness, concentrate on something that will help you grow in new and unexpected ways. Befriend a raven, sing to the moon, write a love poem to the bookstore on the corner. At the very least you'll have stretched and opened yourself up and leaned towards the sun.
~ Ami McKay
God, she was beautiful - my first image of the Orient - a woman such as only the desert poet knew how to praise: her face was the sun, her hair the protecting shadow, her eyes fountains of cool water, her body the most slender of palm-trees and her smile a mirage.
~ Amin Maalouf
Le temps a deux visages, deux dimensions, la longueur est au rythme du soleil, l'épaisseur au rythme des passions.
~ Amin Maalouf
Time has two faces, Khayyam said to himself. It has two dimensions, its length is measured by the rhythm of the sun but its depth by the rhythm of passion.
~ Amin Maalouf
O tempo tem dois rostos, (...) ele tem duas dimensões, a extensão é ao ritmo do sol, a espessura ao ritmo das paixões.
~ Amin Maalouf
you cannot love, what use is the rising and the setting of the sun?
~ Amin Maalouf
Collaboration has no hierarchy. The Sun collaborates with soil to bring flowers on the earth.
~ Amit Ray
Your thoughts are your message to the world. Just as the rays are the messages of the Sun.
~ Amit Ray
Apricity (n.) the warmth of the sun in winter. A strange a lovely word. The OED does not give any citation for its use except for Henry Cockeram's 1623 "English Dictionarie". Not to be confused with "apricate" (to bask in the sun), although both come from the Latin "apricus", meaning exposed to the sun.
~ Ammon Shea
Despair snuffs the sun from the firmament.
~ Amos Bronson Alcott
I didn't have time to tell Bracken to care for her. I didn't have time to tell Arturo that I knew why he was hard on me, and it was okay. I didn't have time to tell Green that he was the sun and the moon and the stars. The Goddess gave me just enough time to feel her pain, to let her know I loved her. I had just long enough to say goodbye.
~ Amy Lane
Lucy didn't stop spinning and I began to wonder if she was ever going to let the boy come up for air. They formed their own planet in the middle of the room, rotating around a sun that only they could see.

De tan levísimo el oleaje, el mar parecía una laguna. Me quité los zapatos para probar la temperatura del agua, que refulgía blanca bajo el fogaje del sol.
~ Ana Lydia Vega
Qué grande era el sol en el cielo, o a mí me lo parecía. Y cuando salió la carroza blanca, arrastrada por caballos blancos y pajes vestidos de blanco, algo se rompió en mí o en el mundo. De pronto no creí en nada de cuanto me habían dicho: todo era una mentira más de los Gigantes; porque allí mismo, del blanco casi cegador, se alzó él ante mis ojos —y supe que era sólo ante mis ojos, un adiós sólo mío—
~ Ana María Matute
The thought of people reading in the sun, on a beach, tempts me to recommend dark books, written in the shadow of loneliness, despair, and death. Let these revelers feel a chill as they loll on their towels.
~ Anatole Broyard
we start the year on the other side of the world, at the Australian Open, and then just chase the sun.
~ Andre Agassi
