"I'm a survivor. And like the moon, I have a feeling it would take a truly spectacular event to keep me from taking my place in the scheme of things, waxing, waning, and eclipsing notwithstanding."
- Janet Rebhan
Resilience
"Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul."
- Victor Hugo
Hope
"You know how the Eclipse of the sun shows it? Christ's strength eclipses your powerlessness in God's likeness, and there is total darkness on your weakness."
- Israelmore Ayivor
Faith
"In life, we have to be strong and bright enough to face our dark times. Eclipse may come and eclipse may go, nothing should stop our inner strength’s flow"

Strength
"The clouds I can handle, but I can't fight with an eclipse."
- Stephenie Meyer
Adversity
"The extent of God’s grace always eclipses the extent of my grotesqueness. Therefore, I can never be bad enough for God to tell me that He’s had enough."
- Craig D. Lounsbrough
Faith
"At birth and at dawn for each and every day it triumphs over the eclipse. It is the very first thing that you see. Its power is blinding at first, anon it opens our eyes to the allure of the world. Each moment it breathes life into us, warms our souls and colors our skin. At gloaming it seems to wane, while it privily awaits a time to give birth to a new circle of life."
- Akilnathan Logeswaran
New Beginnings
"Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason."
- Montesquieu
Philosophy
"No one could look at the beautiful young man now. They dropped their eyes from the scalding sight. From the eclipse. As all that love turned into hate."
- Louise Penny
Adversity
"Edward, I said, managing to speak more clearly with a little effort, there's no point to forever without you. I wouldn't want one day without you."
- Stephanie Meyers
Love
"I examined it cautiously. On the opposite side of the chain from the wolf, there now hung a brilliant heart-shaped crystal. It was cut in a million facets, so that even in the subdued light shining from the lamp, it sparkled. I inhaled in a low gasp..." "But I thought it was a good representation,' he continued. 'It's hard and cold.' He laughed. 'And it throws rainbows in the sunlight.' 'You forgot the most important similarity,' I murmured. 'It's beautiful.' 'My heart is just as silent,' he mused. 'And it, too, is yours."
- Stephenie Meyer
Love
"It had not been Edward and Jacob that I'd been trying to force together. It was the two parts of myself, Edward's Bella and Jacob's Bella but they could not exist together, and I never should have tried."
- Stephenie Meyer
Self-awareness
"You don't want your personality to eclipse your work because no one would be interested in seeing your work anymore."
- Amy Landecker
Self-awareness
"In many cultures, a total eclipse of the Sun predicts cataclysms and bad events."
- Walter Mercado
Belief
"I was born during an eclipse. I believe very much in astrology. If you were born on an eclipse it indicates your destiny is chaotic."
- Gloria Vanderbilt
Belief
"The right scent can make you feel a little more stylish, but it should never eclipse who you are. It should complement who you are."
- Justin Timberlake
Self-awareness
"I can see only three planets in the entire universe, namely Heaven, Earth and Me! Heaven shines its glory on Earth and the rays keep falling on Me! I have a call!"
- Israelmore Ayivor
Ambition
"The shadowwolf had stared at her long and mute, and Mia had thought she'd refuse. But as the girl had looked down at the darkness beneath her feet, it had grown darker still. Dark enough for three."
- Jay Kristoff
Imagination
"Well, it's nice to get something right for a change. You don't know how irritating it is - missing things the way I have been. I feel so useless. So . . . normal." She cringed in horror of the word. "I can't imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh."
- Stephenie Meyer
Self-awareness
"When the moon covers the sun, we have a solar eclipse. What do you call it when birds do that?"
