“light come but once a day does it matter if it last for dawn to dusk”

“You are dawn and she is midnight. And despite the mist of the half-light, together you see more clearly in the dusk.”

“The desert landscape is always at its best in the half-light of dawn or dusk. The sense of distance lacks: a ridge nearby can be a far-off mountain range, each small detail can take on the importance of a major variant on the countryside's repetitious theme. The coming of day promises a change; it is only when the day had fully arrived that the watcher suspects it is the same day returned once again--the same day he has been living for a long time, over and over, still blindingly bright and untarnished by time.”

“There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”

“We’ve chased the dawn, Anastasia, now the dusk.”

“Dreading dusk, fearing night, praying for dawn.”
