If he wants to take a step, I won't let him go; if I want to move, he won't let me move.

Sunrise quotes

  • The Man: [pleading to his wife] Don't be afraid of me!

  • [opening title cards]

    Title Card: This song of the Man and his Wife is of no place and every place; you might hear it anywhere, at any time.

    Title Card: For wherever the sun rises and sets, in the city's turmoil or under the open sky on the farm, life is much the same; sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet.
