Quotations for sunset

The sunset glow of self-possession. [ Chamfort ]

'T is the sunset of life gives us mystical lore. [ Campbell ]

None knows what will happen to him before sunset. [ Proverb ]

Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage the sunset of love.

There is a French saying: Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage is the sunset of love. [ De Finod ]

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

Feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and farewell; like the glaciers, which are transparent and rose-hued only at sunrise and sunset, but throughout the day grey and cold. [ Jean Paul ]

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a very beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]

Association is the delight of the heart not less than of poetry. Alison observes that an autumn sunset, with its crimson clouds, glimmering trunks of trees, and wavering tints upon the grass, seems scarcely capable of embellishment. But if in this calm and beautiful glow the chime of a distant bell steal over the fields, the bosom heaves with the sensation that Dante so tenderly describes. [ Willmott ]

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. There are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. The more or less depends on structure or temperament. Temperament is the iron wire on which the beads are strung. Of what use is fortune or talent to a cold and defective nature? [ Emerson ]
