“If man really is fashioned, more than anything else, in the image of God, then clearly it follows that there is nothing on earth so near to God as a human being. The conclusion is inescapable, that to be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive specimen of humanity of the world is still to be closer to God than when looking up into a starry sky or at a beautiful sunset. Certainly that is why there is nothing in the new testament about beautiful sunsets.- Mike Mason -Author of "The Mystery of Marriage”
― Mike Mason

“I am scared to even say this out loud, because I worry that having confessed this fragility, you now know where to punch. I know that if I am hit where I am earnest, I will never recover.

It can sometimes feel like loving the beauty that surrounds us is somehow disrespectful to the many horrors that also surround us. But mostly, I think I'm just scared that if I show the world my belly, it will devour me. And so I wear the armor of cynicism and hide behind the great walls of irony and only glimpse beauty with my back turned to it through the claude glass. But I want to be earnest, even if it's embarrassing.

The photographer Alec Soth has said, "to me, the most beautiful thing is vulnerability. I would go a step further and argue that you cannot see the beauty which is enough unless you make yourself vulnerable to it."

So I try to turn toward that scattered light, belly out and I tell myself, "this doesn't look like a picture, and it doesn't look like a god. It is a sunset, and it is beautiful." And this whole thing you've been doing where nothing gets five stars because nothing is perfect, that's bullshit. So much is perfect. Starting with this.”
― John Green

“It was dusk, on a Friday. The battered skeletons of trees tapered against the fresh starlight in No Man's Land. The sky offered curious glimpses of beauty, from time to time. The men wrote about it in their letters, describing sunsets in painstaking detail to their families, as if there was nothing to see at the front but crimson clouds and dusted rays of golden light.”
― Alice Winn, In Memoriam

“My dad always used to say it's important that people never stop appreciating sunsets. As long as we can still be stopped in our tracks and remember what a big deal it is that we're even here, there's hope for us. We're just brief bursts of being on a tiny rock hurtling through the void. Our time is a gift and we shouldn't take it, or each other, for granted.”
― K.C. Jones, Black Tide

The first line of a poem”

And they only occur when two people agree that the "something" is nameless. Because it's never just a sunset or a painting or a tree—a moment is whatever that thing is, coupled with the stories or experiences each person brings to the moment.”
― Jill Szoó Wilson

“Someone who despises the sunset as an ordinary thing will one day see such a sunset that he will have to apologize to the sun by looking at it with extraordinary admiration!”
