“No matter how long the night lasts, the sun will always rise.”

“No matter how dark the night, somehow the sun rises once again and all shadows are chased away”

“Night always turns to day again as long as the sun shall rise, so shall it be for darkened dreams grown pale from compromise”

“Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.”

“How long does a building stand before it falls?How long does a contract last? How long will brothersshare the inheritance before they quarrel?How long does hatred, for that matter, last?Time after time the river has risen and flooded.The insect leaves the cocoon to live but a minute.How long is the eye able to look at the sun?From the very beginning nothing at all has lasted.”

“Does it matter how long they were together that night? To lovers, an hour can last a century. But even for lovers, every hour ends.”
