"...so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry." This is a quote from Henry in "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway In this scene Henry is contemplating the importance of his and Catherine's relationship and how it is his only escape from this vampiric world that seems set on killing the good people before that can ever help make any changes for the better.
