Sun Goddess

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or goddess:

“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“under chenille bed spreads
The farm girls are feeling the goddess in them struggle and rise
brooding”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
