The Sunrise's Commandment contains brilliant and inspiring quotations as well as lyrics from L. Pearlheart. In the tradition of the great ancient thinkers, it offers an unbridled view of the world. The tone of the book is sometimes light, in a fun way, that is until you realized that you are learning something, and is sometimes loaded as it explores the perplexing ethos of life, that is also until you realize that you are smiling, but who wants that?
It contains new and memorable quotes such as:
"A human being cannot be free all the time, but being autonomous is a continuous possibility." - On Freedom.
"The clever owns, but is never possessed by what he owns." - On Ownership.
"Whoever is able to anger you is able to control you." - On Anger.
"The hardest lessons are the ones that from ourselves we do not learn.
The everlasting ones are those we are not able to forget." - On Learning.
It also carries a rich collection of lyrics such as this one called "It Will"
It will pass, for life cares not for regrets
It favours those of its infants who of its darkness fashion lights
It will get better for it was not as good in your perception as the moment when you started regretting it
You will surpass it for you have endured it so far and you have not yet given up
You will heal, but you will not forget because a lesson forgotten is a lesson unlearned
A pain receding is an impact measured; an awareness gained
You will smile again for your spirit is broken but is not shattered. Otherwise, you would have had your pulse muted
You must know by now that the secret to surviving is not dying, though death hides in different manners
Fear to the coward is a treacherous companion; a hostage to terror in the hands of his worst enemies,
To the brave, fear is an unnecessary burden, but in light doses a welcome sense of caution; she plows through the night as darkness is conquered
The night is but the day rendered invisible
He who understands must improve for ignorance is a stagnant matter
Like death it shares the same constant; a consolidation of failures
It will pass for like everything else that is a slave to time, it must pause
In space there is a sense of redemption, but in time there are good memories
Of all that matters you are now the holder, the storyteller
In the darkness you carry a light of those of whom you had the privilege of being a companion,
Don't be shortsighted
You are a reflection of light to the others; the measure of endurance
Falter not for if you do, so does the light
And if you break it, then you have renegaded the gift of a lifetime
It is your turn, of darkness lights to fashion
