SUN QUOTES V

quotations about the sun

The sun at the center of our Solar System is one of the big reasons why we're here today, but it can also be a bit of a nuisance from time to time. Coronal mass ejections -- when the sun spews a whole bunch of plasma and energy into space -- can seriously mess up human communication infrastructure if they happen to graze Earth. For years, researchers have attempted to forecast and predict CMEs in the hopes that warnings could help prevent damage to electronics and the power grid, and when doing so, they've modeled the huge solar blasts as bubbles moving through space. As it turns out, a CME is more like a sneeze.

The sun sheddeth color and grace over nature, and all that is beautiful laughs with renewed youth.

SOLOMON GESSNER

attributed, Day's Collacon


When the Sun
Clearest shineth
Serenest in the heaven,
Quickly are obscured
All over the earth
Other stars.

BOETHIUS

The Consolation of Philosophy


Turn your face towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back, just carry on
And the shadows will never find you

RIHANNA

"Towards the Sun"


And the sun is like an omen
Goading me to the Gospel
But I got no plans at all
Except to drink as soon as possible

JAPANDROIDS

"Arc of Bar"


And see--the Sun himself!--on wings
Of glory up the East he springs.
Angel of Light! who from the time
Those heavens began their march sublime,
Hath first of all the starry choir
Trod in his Maker's steps of fire!

Limitless undying love which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on
