Dawn Quotes
-
Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. Gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. Your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. The city shudders, Stones exhale - you are life, an awakening. Star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath - the night is done. You are light and morning.
Cesare Pavese
-

-
But words have been used too often; touched and turned, and left exposed to the dust of the street. The words we seek hang close to the tree. We come at dawn and find them sweet beneath the leaf.
Virginia Woolf
-
Whom the dawn sees proud, evening sees prostrate.
Seneca the Younger
-
The period before the dawn of knowledge is called the age of darkness.
Wasif Ali Wasif
-
They say it's darkest before the dawn, but it also tend to be quietest, and the quiet lets you hear yourself better.
Erin Morgenstern
-
What would dawn have been like, had you awakened? It would have sung through your bones. All I can do this morning is let it sing through mine.
Diane Ackerman
