  2. THE QUOTE SPOKEN BY CHARACTER BELLA SWAN IN THE FILM, “Eclipse” (aka: “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) (2010):

    __[Bella quoting Robert Frost] “Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice.”

    FROM ROBERT FROST’S POEM, “Fire and Ice”:
    “Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I’ve tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.”
