There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of the rain calmly dropping from the sky and hitting our window or hitting the ground. There are many positive connotations attached to rainfall and what it can represent. It can represent a clean slate, a fresh start, happiness, spring, and regrowth. All of which are hugely positive.
Below, are 100 quotes associated with rain that will help you realize that even in the darkest of times when dark clouds hang overhead, there may well be a rainbow at the end waiting for you.
Does a rainy-day forecast conjure delightful images of curling up in a cozy blanket with a hot beverage and a good book? If so, you are a part of a special tribe of people known as pluviophile’s. By definition, pluviophile’s are people who love the rain. You are probably used to listening to others whine endlessly about being wet and cold.
Meanwhile, you fantasize about those delicious drops and wonder how someone could not appreciate a gloriously gloomy day, and you know what? We don’t blame you because the rain truly is beautiful! Let’s take a look at the reasons people love the rain before we dive into the quotes.
Why do we love the rain?
• For one, we have seen rain and puddles in so many movies! We often associate rain with romance, and perhaps that just gives us a good feeling inside.
• Rain signifies growth, and from growth, things begin to flourish.
• Rain can give us a sense of comfort; have you ever been huddled up by the fire with a cup of tea or cocoa while watching the television and heard the rain outside and felt complete relaxation? If you have then you are not alone, because many of us have been there at some stage.
• Rain brings out the smell of nature, and this can be hugely relaxing for many people.
We could go keep going for hours here, but the point is, rain is not all about dark clouds or dark days ahead, in fact, without rain, we wouldn’t be able to exist, we would have trouble surviving. Without rain, the world is much worse a place, and that is why it is so important. So, in saying that, let’s get our feet wet and read some quotes about rain, its beauty and its endless possibilities together.
