“I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her.”
“I held you in my hands, Wanderer, and you were beautiful.”
“It's something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart--not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end...their love is their only redeeming quality.”
“What do I look like? The Wizard of Oz? You need a brain? You need a heart? Go ahead, take mine. Take everything I have.”
“Life and love go on...”
“I tried to concentrate on the angel's voice instead."Bella, please! Bella, listen to me, please, please, please, Bella, please!" he begged.Yes, I wanted to say. Anything. But I couldn't find my lips. "Carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "Bella, Bella, no, oh please, no, no!" And the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs.The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. I tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and I couldn't breathe.”
“Do I dazzle you?”
“I am not really breaking any rules. Charlie said I could never take another step through the door again... I came in through the window... Still, the intent was clear," said Edward.”
“Of course, you’d warm up faster if you took your clothes off.”
“It's real interesting to have a soul as a friend, and it makes me feel super special that I've managed it.”
“It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful.”
“What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?”
“You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers – the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who 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 your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?”
“You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”
“I had no right to want you — but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire."(Edward Cullen, Eclipse)~Stephenie Meyer”
“He was a different Edward than the one I had known. And I felt all the more besotted by him. It would cause me physical pain to be separated from him now.”
“Just snow and sapphire and ink.”
“Just because we've been dealt a certain hand doesn't mean we can't choose to rise above - to conquer the boundaries of destiny that none of us wanted.”
“Age is just a number baby, what are you now? 40?”
“The only reason I left was to protect you.”
“What is she to me? Except a menace — a danger you’ve chosen to inflict on all of us.”
“It's healthy to ditch class now and then." To be precise, it was healthier for humans if vampires ditched on days when human blood would be spilt.”
“Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep,my only love.”
“love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair.”
“Look after my heart - I've left it with you.”
“I had a secret that I was bound to protect but a secret that i was not to share. A secert that suddenly he knew all about.”
“I love you. You're my only reason to stay alive... if that's what I am.”
“After all the thousand times I’ve told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?...I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn’t want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you!”
“You live a thousand lives when you read a thousand books.”
“I'm not like a car Jacob, now matter how you try to fix me, I'll never run right.”
“Why am I covered in feathers?" I asked, confused. He exhaled impatiently. "I bit a pillow. Or two...”
“Trust Emmett to find the joke in the destruction of my life.”
“Yes Rosalie, we all know how proficient of an assassin you are.”
“Bite me.”
“Alice: "No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with you."Bella: "Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood.”
“Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You're not taking him to a strip club, are you?”
“Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?”
“I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object.”
“You aren't exactly the best judge of what is or isn't dangerous.”
“I already know how strong you are. You didn't have to break the furniture." —Bella Swan”
“I'm really glad Edward didn't kill you. Everything's so much more fun with you around." — Emmett Cullen”
“I don't have any leeches on my speed dial." — Jacob Black”
“Here's to responsibility, twice a week.',”
“Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother,Jacob?" she asked cutting me off. "His name is 'Shut the hell up'.”
“I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it.”
“You’re still waiting for the running and the screaming, aren’t you?”
“She sees things — things that might happen, things that are coming. But it’s very subjective. The future isn’t set in stone. Things change.”
“Amazing," Edward muttered. "How can someone so tiny be so annoying?"Alice laughed. "It's a talent.”
“I coveted you. I had no right to want you--but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what's become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.”
“So you see, Hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you.”
