“I returned to the courtyard and saw that the sun had grown weaker. Beautiful
and clear as it had been, the morning (as the day approached the completion of
its first half) was becoming damp and misty. Heavy clouds moved from the north
and were invading the top of the mountain, covering it with a light brume. It
seemed to be fog, and perhaps fog was also rising from the ground, but at that
altitude it was difficult to distinguish the mists that rose from below and
those that come down from above. It was becoming hard to discern the bulk of
the more distant buildings.”

“Got up this morning and could not find my glasses. Finally had to seek
assistance. Kate [Winslet] found them inside a flower arrangement.”

“I have always disliked the morning, it is too responsible a time, with the
daylight demanding that it be 'faced' and (usually when I wake for I wake late)
with the sun already up and in charge of the world, with little hope of anyone
usurping or challenging its authority. A shot of light in the face of a poor
waking human being and another slave limps wounded into the light-occupied
territory.”

“In the morning I woke like a sloth in the fog.”

“We love the morning, because we know that there will be night soon! We love
the night, because we know that there will be morning soon! Who loves the
morning if there shall be no night? Who loves the night if there shall be no
morning?”

“I feel as though whenever I create something, my Mr. Hyde wakes up in the
middle of the night and starts thrashing it. I sometimes love it the next
morning, but other times it is an abomination.”

“Perhaps Sadness will use the shimmering wings of the morning kissed with dew
and promise to sail away, and the dark Heart of the Night will rush headlong
into the blinding light of the Day, to kiss it full and hard upon the mouth and
embrace life's brilliance once more...”
8.
“Morning drew on apace. The air became more sharp and piercing, as its first
dull hue: the death of night, rather than the birth of day: glimmered faintly
in the sky. The objects which had looked dim and terrible in the darkness, grew
more and more defined, and gradually resolved into their familiar shapes. The
rain came down, thick and fast; and pattered, noisily, among the leafless bushes.”

“There should be a rule against people trying to be funny before the sun comes
up.”
10.
“The desert, when the sun comes up...I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and
the Earth began.”
