Sunsets are one of the world's greatest wonders. Their beauty is almost too magical for us to understand. The warm, vibrant array of colors (you know that honeycomb yellow and fiery orange) simply leave us in awe every time they appear. It's safe to say that we're big sunset fans over here, especially when we see photos of them on the Drummond Ranch! And that is precisely why we thought we'd give you some of the best sunset quotes that really capture how beautiful they are.

Catching a sunset can often leave you feeling inspired so there are dozens of uplifting quotes here—take Kristen Butler's words, for instance: "Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully." For when you're feeling at one with the great outdoors, there are plenty of nature quotes, too, like this poetic quote from J.R.R. Tolkien: “Foam is white and waves are grey; Beyond the sunset leads my way.”

If you're like Ree and often post sunset photos on Instagram, many of these quotes double as meaningful sunset captions as well. As Claude Debussy said, "There is nothing more musical than a sunset."

P.S. We've also got collections of beautiful flower quotes and good morning quotes for those who prefer a good sunrise.
