"The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time . . . Time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!"
Montag speaks of the sun as he has just escaped the city by way of the river. He finally enjoys the leisure to think, which Faber told him he would need to obtain his life back. Montag concludes that if he and the firemen continue to burn, eventually everything will burn, leaving nothing. He decides that since the sun will never stop, he and the firemen must stop.
