Stephenie Meyer

“You don’t have anything like this. For crying out loud, you only own one skirt!”

“So, how come Jacob Black gets togive you a gift and I don't? Because I have nothingto give back to you. Bella, you give me everythingjust by breathing.”

“No one could be still like Edward.”

“It was like talking to Diego had cleared my head. For the first time in three months, blood was not the main thing in there.”

“Everything in my world was about him. What a silly thing to expect.”

“If Seth didn't cut it out, I was going to throw a pinecone at him.”

“I felt like I was staring out across an ocean that I was going to have to swim from shore to shore before I could rest again.”

“Funny how it kept hitting me, like each new thing was a surprise. When was I going to stop being surprised?”

“Since when are you a breeder?”

“It's more like...gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it's not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her... You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.”

“Some of the memories were not clear---dim human memories, seen through weak eyes and heard through weak ears: the first time I'd seen his face... the way it felt when he'd held me in the meadow... the sound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering consciousness when he'd save me from James... his face as he waited under a canopy of flowers to marry me... every precious moment on the island... his cold hands touching our baby through my skin...”

“Hate is a passionate emotion.”

“Until your heart stops beating, Bella," he said. "I'll be here-- fighting.”

“Love didn't work that way, I decided. Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore.”

“So much had changed, and so abruptly. It made me feel a little dizzy, like I was standing on an edge, a precipice somewhere much too high.”

“You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours.”

“Here in the trees it was much easier to believe the absurdities that embarrassed me indoors. Nothing had changed in this forest for thousands of years, and all the myths and legends of a hundred different lands seemed much more likely in this green haze than they had in my clear-cut bedroom.”

“Contemplé el temblor de mis dedos y supe que el detalle no le pasaría desapercibido.-¿Te molesta?- pregunté, ya que había vuelto a cerrar los ojos.-No- respondió sin abrirlos- no puedes ni imaginarte cómo se siente eso.Suspiró.”

“...I would run to close those last few feet between us - reckless as always - and I would be in his marble arms, finally safe.”

“Mostly I dream about being with you forever.”

“I grinned at him, feeling more enthusiastic about my plan now that he was on board. Rosalie was a pain, but I would always owe her one for choosing Emmett; no one had a better brother than mine.”

“How old are you?” she asked.My answer was automatic and ingrained. “Seventeen.”“And how long have you been seventeen?”I tried not to smile at the patronizing tone. “A while,” I admitted.“Okay,” she said, abruptly enthusiastic. She smiled up at me.”

“I watched her, waiting.She smiled. Her lips curved up and the edges, and her chocolate eyes warmed.I’d just admitted to stalking her, and she was smiling.”

“She’s just a little faint,” I reassured Mrs. Hammond. “They’re blood typing in biology.”She nodded, understanding now. “There’s always one.”I stifled a laugh. Trust Bella to be that one.”

“I'd rather know what you're thinking - even if what you're thinking is insane.”

“I always needed that extra fantasy world. I had to have another world I could be in at the same time.”

“What are you say it out loud tell me the basic thing vampires eat”

“Que Quowle”

“It was sort of the pattern to my life - I'd never been strong enough to deal with the things outside my control, to attack the enemies or outrun them. To avoid the pain. Always human and weak, the only thing I'd ever been able to do was keep going. Endure. Survive.”

“Do I dazzle you? - Edward Frequently - Bella”

“When it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.”

“Just you wait till I’m a vampire! I’m not going to be sitting on the sidelines next time.”

“I would have loved you for eternity, even when the word didn't have quite the same connotations.”

“‎Imprinting on someone is like... Like when you see her... Everything changes. All of a sudden, its not gravity holding you to the planet. It's her... Nothing else matters.”

“He was giving up on keeping me alive, letting nature–or rather mob justice–take its course.When he returned, and I was dead, he wouldn't hold anyone responsible. He would not mourn.All this I could hear in those three words.”

“I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me.”

“Why didn't I just walk away? Oh right, because I'm a idiot.”

“More than my own life”

“I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.”

“Um," Doc said in a mild voice, "medically speaking, I'm not sure that was the most helpful thing for his condition.""But I feel better," Jared answered, sullen.Doc smiled the tiniest smile. "Well, maybe a few more minutes of unconsciousness won't kill him.”

“Ostentatious, isn't it?”

“And then I saw the way he looked at her... like he was a blind man, seeing the sun for the very first time.”

“That's certainly a problem. But that's not what I was thinking of. It's just that you are so soft, so fragile. I have to mind my actions every moment that we're together so that I don't hurt you. I could kill you quite easily, Bella, simply by accident." His voice had become just a soft murmur. He moved his icy palm to rest it against my cheek. "If I was too hasty… if for one second I wasn't paying enough attention, I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake. You don't realize howincredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I'm with you.”

“You and I won't lose each other, I will always find you again. No matter how well you hide. I'm unstoppable.”

“Neither heaven nor hell can keep me apart from you, Melanie.”

“Edward: “After a few decades, everyone you know will be dead. Problem solved.”

“Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.”

“I watched his fingers clench and unclench, and I wondered if he was dreaming that they were wrapped around my neck.”

“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were thing like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.When we were ten, they asked again and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won't have to guess. We'll know.[from the movie]”

“It is a strange world," I murmered, more to myself than to the native soul."The strangest," he agreed.”
