The sun truly "comes up like thunder," and it sets just as fast. Each sunrise and sunset lasts only a few seconds. But in that time you see at least eight different bands of color come and go, from a brilliant red to the brightest and deepest blue. And you see sixteen sunrises and sixteen sunsets every day you're in space. No sunrise or sunset is ever the same.

Joseph P. Allen

During the 1970s and 1980s, the popular television soap opera As The World Turns portrayed sunrise during the opening credits and sunset during the closing credits... The soap-opera sunrise showed the sun moving toward the left as it rose rather than to the right. They obviously had gotten a piece of film showing a sunset and played it in reverse... Had they called their local astrophysicists, any one of us might have recommended that if they needed to save money, they could have shown the sunset in a mirror before they showed it running backward.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

He changed sunset into sunrise.

Clement of Alexandria

The biggest cliche in photography is sunrise and sunset.

Catherine Opie

Peace is seeing the sunrise or a sunset and knowing who to thank.

Unknown

It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.

Victor Hugo

I love watching the sunrise and sunset and the sky, the birds.

Manisha Koirala

Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset

Rumi

Stonehenge was built possibly by the Minoans. It presents one of man's first attempts to order his view of the outside world.

Stephen Gardiner

Stonehenge had an aura but it was also just stone. Then in the sixties, it became a great hedonistic, hippie, druid, rock-n-roll party site. There are amazing pictures of people up on the stones going wild and that's the image I recreated for my model of the project: full access to everyone. I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.
