• An occultation of Venus is not half so difficult as an eclipse of the sun, but because it comes seldom the world thinks it's a grand thing.

• Early in my career as a domme, I both admired and feared becoming one of those career dommes. I saw, in myself, and in some other women in that industry, the way that sex work could eclipse the other parts of your personality, the way that I started to feel as if I wasn't qualified to do anything else. I had always known that I wanted to be a writer, and I stopped writing for a time while I was domming; the experience subsumed my other interests, and it scared me. Now, however, I have nothing but admiration for them.

• La mayor parte de la historia de Emily está escrita entre Luna Nueva y Eclipse. Los estoy leyendo mientras rodamos las películas. Aún no he leído Amanecer. Es una locura. Pasan demasiadas cosas y necesitas un mapa. Intento centrarme en una película cada vez. Cuando estábamos haciendo la prensa de Luna Nueva, la gente ya preguntaba por Eclipse. No lo leí hasta que estuve listo para empezar, para tenerlo fresco y no estar mezclado con todo lo demás.

• he first make-up crew had three test runs, so by the time we were shooting, they got it down to three hours. They switched make-up crews for Eclipse and they never had any test runs, and they had to figure out what the other team had done, so the first day, I was in the chair for eight hours. But, they adjusted the scar from New Moon to Eclipse. The first time, there was more pullage on my face, so I had a hard time eating. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable.

• Chris participó en el proceso de casting. Fue una sensación diferente porque Luna Nueva era la primera vez que la manada de lobos se reunía. Con Eclipse, ya estábamos establecidos, así que no tenía el mismo vínculo o conexión con David. Fue muy técnico. Él tenía una visión y una idea de lo que quería hacer.

• And it's best if you know a good thing is going to happen, like an eclipse or getting a microscope for Christmas. And it's bad if you know a bad thing is going to happen, like having a filling or going to France. But I think it is worst if you don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing which is going to happen.

• Unas semanas más tarde, estoy en un aula de Chelsea iluminada con fluorescentes esperando el comienzo del examen oficial de Mensa. Estoy sentado junto a un tipo que está haciendo una serie de elaborados estiramientos de cuello, como si estuviéramos a punto de participar en un vigoroso partido de rugby. Sobre su escritorio de formica ha colocado cuatro tipos de chicles: Juicy Fruit, Wrigley Spearmint, Big Red y Eclipse. Odio a este tipo. Espero que no sea un genio.

• No matter what happens to you in life, you just roll with it. And then, when we went back to shoot Eclipse, I went to Quileute and taught some acting to the kids, and just got to spend some time in the community, which was great because it gave me an idea of where Emily came from.

• I had made considerable advance ... in calculations on my favourite numerical lunar theory, when I discovered that, under the heavy pressure of unusual matters (two transits of Venus and some eclipses) I had committed a grievous error in the first stage of giving numerical value to my theory. My spirit in the work was broken, and I have never heartily proceeded with it since.

• Over the long term, the eclipse rate of great civilizations being overtaken is 100%. So you know how it's going to end. (Laughter) I'm more optimistic about the staying power of what's good in this country. But just because you have a wonderful spouse doesn't mean you should treat her badly. You have the feeling that some of the old virtues [that made this country great] are lessening. But there's so much good and so much strength left that I would not expect this country to suddenly founder.

• A finales de los años setenta, cuando tenía quince años, me gasté hasta el último céntimo que tenía en el banco para cruzar el continente en un avión 747 hasta Brandon (Manitoba), en lo más profundo de las praderas canadienses, para presenciar un eclipse total de sol.

• Scientists can routinely predict a solar eclipse, to the minute, a millennium in advance. You can go to the witch doctor to lift the spell that causes your pernicious anaemia, or you can take Vitamin B12. If you want to save your child from polio, you can pray or you can inoculate. If you're interested in the sex of your unborn child, you can consult plumb-bob danglers all you want . . . but they'll be right, on average, only one time in two. If you want real accuracy . . . try amniocentesis and sonograms. Try science.

• By analyzing data from Greenwich Observatory in the period 1836-1953, John A. Eddy [Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and High Altitude Observatory in Boulder] and Aram A. Boornazian [mathematician with S. Ross and Co. in Boston] have found evidence that the sun has been contracting about 0.1% per century during that time, corresponding to a shrinkage rate of about 5 feet per hour. And digging deep into historical records, Eddy has found 400-year-old eclipse observations that are consistent with such a shrinkage.

• Before the Christian Church goes into eclipse anywhere there must first be a corrupting of her simple basic theology. She simply gets a wrong answer to the question, ‘What is God like?’ and goes on from there. Though she may continue to cling to a sound nominal creed, her practical working creed has become false. The masses of her adherents come to believe that God is different from what He actually is; and that is heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind

• What you call love does not sound very beautiful. Think of the way we adore the Throne. That adoration makes us the best version of ourselves. We feel encouraged to go further with or instincts, not to change ourselves for love. If I were yours and you were mine, I would want you to be exactly as you are. I would never eclipse you with my desires.

• Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disk of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust.

• En cuanto al sistema de fe cristiano, me parece una especie de ateísmo, una especie de negación religiosa de Dios. Profesa creer en un hombre más que en Dios. Es un compuesto hecho principalmente de manismo con un poco de deísmo, y está tan cerca del ateísmo como el crepúsculo de la oscuridad. Introduce entre el hombre y su Creador un cuerpo opaco, al que llama Redentor, como la luna introduce su ser opaco entre la tierra y el sol, y produce por este medio un eclipse religioso, o irreligioso, de luz. Ha puesto en la sombra toda la órbita de la razón.

• There be delights that will fetch the day about from sun to sun and rock the tedious year as in a delightful dream ... For a garden is Arcady brought home. It is man's bit of gaudy make-believe - his well-disguised fiction of an unvexed Paradise ... a world where gayety knows no eclipse and winter and rough weather are held at bay.
