Sun Quote by Ernest Hemingway
““He sat on the logs, smoking, drying in the sun, the sun warm on his back the river shallow ahead entering the woods, curving into the woods, shallows light glittering, big water-smooth rocks, cedars along the bank and white birches, the logs warm in the sun, smooth to sit on, without bark, gray to the touch; slowly the feeling of disappointment left him.””

![“It costs me nothing for curtains, for I have no gazers to shut out but the sun and moon, and I am willing that they should look in...and if he [the sun] is sometimes too warm a friend, I find it still better economy to retreat behind some curtain which nature has provided.” quote by Henry David Thoreau](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/45c/henry-david-thoreau-20_curtains_it-costs-me-nothing-for-curtains-for-i-h_2353801.jpg)
