“The sun's glow had given way to a brilliant twilight that colored the great mountains with violet and orange rivers.”

“Pink is a beautiful color, because it is one of the colors that the sun makes at twilight and in the dawns.”

“It wasn't a pretty sunset. The colors were as expected: violet clouds, bright orange and pink underneath, against the pale blue sky. But the clouds were high cirrus, wispy, and crossed with the contrails of F-16s, a colorful glowing mess. I said, "It looks like God barfed a rainbow.”

“I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”.”

“The woman had told the truth. The flowers were the color of sunset. And not the yellowish tinge of a lazy sun either, but the intense orange of a sun refusing to set on anyone else’s terms.”

“He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.”
