Cross-Application 2


I really find that I identify well with quotes by Oscar Wilde, the Irish philosopher of the 19th century... let's apply them to Twilight. :)

"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much."

Obviosly some wise words that would do well to both Edward and Jacob. I think though that Edward is kinda moving towards this idea, and for this reason Jacob is freaking out completely... poor guy. Oscar Wilde is proven correct. :)

"I can resist anything but temptation."

Hahaha, wonderful. :) But anyways, this really reminded me of Edward, and of the whole Cullen family in general, living with tempation all the time... I cant even imagine what that must be like, having to keep yourself from doing what you want every hour of the day. They don't even get a break at night... :P

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself."

One more for Edward, a little less cynical though. Thanks Mr. Wilde. :P Edward isn't necessarily yielding to his tempation to suck Bella's blood, but to his temptation to be close to her. It seems like the stronger temptation conquered. :)

Some think he's cynical, I think he's brilliant. Really, Oscar Wilde has so many wise thoughts that we can take with a grain of salt and really think about...
