Stephenie Meyer

“I stared into her eyes, wide under the thick fringe of lashes, and yearned for sleep. Not for oblivion, as I had before, not to escape boredom, but because I wanted to *dream*. Maybe, if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for a few hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her.”

“how can a little thing be so annoying?”

“No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

“He didn't ask what I was thinking, which was out of character for him. I guessed that meant that he was just as nervous as I suddenly was.”

“Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”

“Nudity was an inconvenient but unavoidable part of pack life. We’d all thought nothing of it before Leah came along. Then it got awkward.”

“You really should stay away from me.”

“I have forseen...”

“The laughter in his deep-set black eyes, the feverish heat of his big hand around mine, the flash of his white teeth against his dark skin, his face stretching into the wide smile that had always been like a key to a secret door where only kindred spirits could enter.”

“Woo!" Emmett suddenly boomed in his deep bass. "Go Gators!"Jacob and Charlie jumped. The rest of us froze. Charlie recovered, then looked at Emmett over his shoulder. "Florida winning?""Just scored the first touchdown," Emmett confirmed. He shot a look in my direction, wagging his eyebrows like a villain in vaudville. "'Bout time somebody scored around here.”

“Sounds like someone's hit the terrible twos.""Threes actually," Quil corrected. "You missed the party. Princess theme. She made me wear a crown, and then Emily suggested they all try out her new play makeup on me.""Wow, I'm REALLY sorry I wasn't around to see that."Don't worry, Emily has pictures. Actually, I look pretty hot.”

“Unca Jay!""How's it going Claire?"She giggled. "Qwil aaaaawl wet now.""I can see that. Where's your mama?""Gone, gone, gone," Claire sang. "Cwaire pway wid Qwil aaaawl day. Cwaire nebber gowin home.”

“Your hold on me is permanent and unbreakable. Never doubt that”

“He’s playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. Don’t blame me because he’s a better manipulator than I am — I haven’t been around long enough to learn all his tricks.”

“That’s why it was so impossible to tell him goodbye — because I was in love with him. Too. I loved him, much more than I should, and yet, still nowhere near enough. I was in love with him, but it was not enough to change anything; it was only enough to hurt us both more. To hurt him worse than I ever had.”

“I’m exactly right for you, Bella. It would have been effortless for us — comfortable, easy as breathing. I was the natural path your life would have taken… If the world was the way it was supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no magic”

“I want to be a monster too”

“I didn’t realize I was crying until it was time to say the blinding words. ‘I do,’ I managed to choke out in a nearly unintelligible whisper... When it was his turn to speak, the words rang clear and victorious. ‘I do,’ he vowed.”

“Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love.”

“I think being a teenager is such a compelling time period in your life--it gives you some of your worst scars and some of your most exhilarating moments. It's a fascinating place; old enough to feel truly adult, old enough to make decisions that affect the rest of your life, old enough to fall in love, yet, at the same time too young (in most cases) to be free to make a lot of those decisions without someone else's approval.”

“She looked around herself, disoriented, like she’d forgotten we were at lunch. Like she’d forgotten we were even at school-surprised that we were not alone in some private place. I understood that feeling exactly. It was hard to remember the rest of the world when I was with her.”

“Stop being so… optimistic. It’s getting on my nerves.”

“One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively.”

“Well… don’t be offended, but you smell like a dog.”

“What is a valid reason for someone to love someone else? Since apparently I’m doing it wrong.”

“If this is how you’re going to react, I’ll freak out more often.”

“I thought you were supposed to be pretending I don’t exist, not irritating me to death.”

“I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot.”

“I'm hotter than you!”

“You're my life now and I will do anything to protect you.”

“Don't watch" the redheaded mind reader whispered. I closed my eyes.”

“Good luck tended to avoid me.”

“Too young,too young,she chanted to herself.Wrong,of course.I was older than her grandfather but according to my driver's license,she was right.”

“When the you loved was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run? How could you fight? When doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?”

“I bit a pillow. Or two.”

“I told you I didn't want to fight with Charlie.""Nobody said that you had to."I glowered at him. "I can't help myself when he gets all bossy like that―my natural teenage instincts overpower me.”

“Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I'd allow it, she'd love to dress me everyday―perhaps several times a day―like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll.”

“If we could bottle your luck, we'd have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands.”

“It won't be the same for me," I whispered, half to myself. "You won't let me be like that. We'll live in Antarctica."Edward snorted, breaking the tension. "Penguins. Lovely.”

“Happiness expanded like an explosion inside me – so extreme, so violent that I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.”

“There really is something irresistible about a lost cause.”

“I'd been broken beyond repair.”

“Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever. Will you marry me?”

“Edward: Bella, please stop taking your clothes off!Bella: Why? Did you wanna do that part?”

“Bella: "Why am I covered in feathers?"Bella:"You… bit a pillow? Why?"Bella: "You listen to me, Edward Cullen. I am not pretending anything for your sake, okay? I didn’t even know there was a reason to make you feel better until you started being all miserable. I’ve never been so happy in all my life – I wasn’t this happy when you decided that you loved me more than you wanted to kill me, or the first morning I woke up and you were there waiting for me… Not when I heard your voice in the ballet studio, or when you said ‘I do’ and I realized that, somehow, I get to keep you forever. Those are the happiest memories I have, and this is better than any of it. So just deal with it." Edward: "We’re just lucky it was the pillows and not you."Edward: "You are making me insane, Bella."Edward: "You are so human, Bella. Ruled by your hormones."Edward :"So you seduced your all-too-willing husband. That’s not a capital offense.”

“Nie mogłam oderwać wzroku od tej dziwnej grupy, ponieważ ich twarze, tak odmienne, a tak do siebie podobne, były porażająco, nieludzko wręcz piękne. Takich twarzy nie spotyka się w rzeczywistym świecie, co najwyżej na wygładzonych komputerowo fotografiach w czasopismach o modzie lub na obrazach starych mistrzów, gdzie należą do aniołów.”

“Człowiek to także pojęcie względne (…) Zawsze mi się wydawało, że warunkiem człowieczeństwa jest choćby odrobinka współczucia i miłosierdzia.”

“The best part is coming.""What's the best part? You swallowing an entire cow whole?""No. That's the finale.”

“Bella: "I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not."Edward: "And I should feel sorry that you're not sorry, but I don't.”

“Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.”
