Quotes of classic literature in The Twilight Saga books and movies of Stephanie Meyer:
“These violent delights have violent ends,
and in their triumph die, like fire and powder -
Which, as they kiss, consume.”
- Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI by William Shakespeare (Said by Friar Lawrence, warning Romeo to cool down his passion. Moderate love is less likely to lead to disaster than violent love. His warnings prove to be founded. II.6.9-11) [Used in New Moon, said by Bella]
“O, here will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh.
Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace!
and lips, O you the doors of breath,
seal with a righteous kiss -
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!”
– Romeo and Juliet, Act V, Scene III by William Shakespeare (Said by Romeo to, for him an assumed dead, Juliet) [Used in New Moon(the movie), said by Edward, and the righteous kiss being fulfilled in the break-up scene]
“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be;
and if all else remained, and he were annihilated,
the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (Cathys words about Heathcliff) [Used in Breaking Dawn, said by Bella about her love for Edward]
“I never would have banished him from her society,
as long as she desired his.
The moment her regard ceased,
I would have torn out his heart and drunk his blood!”
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (Heathcliffs words about Edgar Linton) [Used in Breaking Dawn, said by Edward about how he feels about Jacob – very suitable with the blood part eyh?]
“I cannot live without my life!
I cannot live without my soul!”
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (Heathcliff about Cathys death) [Used in Breaking Dawn, said by Edward to Bella]
