These beautiful sunset quotes provide a lot for one to reflect upon.
A sunset is nothing less than a glimpse into the universe. Watching the sun fall is much more than enjoying the magnificence of the gleaming rays of the sun and the magic they play on heaven and earth. There is also a primal connection of our human existence that a setting sun reminds us of. It also makes us realize our place in the solar system and the universe itself.
Everyone from poets to scientists, to the ordinary folks, have been mesmerized by the inexpressible aura and charm of these natural occurrences. Many have attempted to turn that feeling and elegance into words. Here’s our collection of the best of those.
