quotations about morning

Maxims
Morning is like the tide coming in, washing over the debris of half-finished lives and presenting once again, for this day at least, new opportunities for holiness. It is a kind of sacrament -- a means of grace, if you will -- and like all means of grace, it really does deliver what it promises.

He got out of bed and peeped through the blinds.

Swift, bright, victorious.

When darkness sifts from the air like fine soft soot and light spreads slowly out of the east then all but the most wretched of humankind rally.
JOHN BANVILLE

And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.
