“Well, that just sucks! I guess I'm stuck with Mike Newton after all”

“Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?"Alice: "I do. Excellent.”

“Um...carefully Bella ow.”

“From now on I'm Switzerland ok!!”

“You can't hurt each other without hurting me.”

“My dad mumbled something unintelligible."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 vaudeville. "'Bout time somebody scored around here.”

“He smiled and kissed me. It wasn't precisely a peck on the lips, and my wild vampiric reactions took me off guard yet again. Edward's lips were like a shot of some addictive chemical straight into my nervous system. I was instantly craving more. It took all my concentration to remember the baby in my arms.Jasper felt my mood change. "Er, Edward, you might not want to distract her like that right now. She needs to be able to focus."Edward pulled away. "Oops," he said.I laughed. That had been my line from the very beginning, from the very first kiss."Later," I said, and anticipation curled my stomach into a ball."Focus, Bella," Jasper urged."Right." I pushed the trembly feelings away. Charlie, that was the main thing right now. Keep Charlie safe today. We would have all night..."Bella.""Sorry, Jasper.”

“We're lucky Esme thought to add an extra room. No one was planning for Ness-Renesmee."I frowned at him, my thoughts channeled down a less pleasant path."Not you too," I complained."Sorry, love. I hear it in their thoughts all the time, you know. It's rubbing off on me.I sighed. My baby, the sea serpent. Maybe there was no help for it. Well, I wasn't giving in.”

“Every life is precious.”

“I wasn't going to be able to fall in love like a normal person. Not when I was bleeding over someone else.”

“So many different kinds of love, harmonious in this one moment. It seemed a very hopeful picture to me.”

“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.”

“Emmett thought about that for a moment. 'You really... love her?''I can't even describe it, Emmett. All of a sudden, this girl's the whole world to me. I don't see the point of the rest of the world without her anymore”

“It would always be that way for me, too. I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence.”

“Edward,' she mumbled softly.She was dreaming of me.Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.'Stay,' she sighed. 'Don't go. Please... don't go”

“Saving her life was the one acceptable thing I'd done since I met her. The one thing that I was not ashamed of. The one and only thing that made me glad I existed at all. I'd been fighting to keep her alive since the first moment I'd caught her scent.”

“I ached for the difference between Carlisle and me - that he could touch her so gently, without fear, knowing he would never harm her.”

“I'd never understood how Carlisle was able to do that - ignore the blood of his patients in order to treat them. Wouldn't the constant temptation be so distracting, so dangerous? But now, I could see how, if you were focusing on something else hard enough, the temptation was be nothing at all.”

“I didn't want to be the monster! I didn't want to kill this room full of harmless children! I didn't want to lose everything I'd gained in a lifetime of sacrifice and denial!”

“It was encouraging to see that she sometimes got things wrong. Tyler's persistence had nothing to do with the accident. She didn't seem to understand the appeal she held for the human boys at the high school. Did she not see the appeal she had for me, either?”

“Los escritores quizá tengan esa necesidad de más de una realidad.”

“I've never felt normal, because I'm not normal, and I don't wanna be. I've had to face death and loss and pain in your world, but I've also never felt stronger, like more real, more myself, because it's my world too. It's where I belong.”

“It made no sense when he looked at me that way. Like I was the prize rather than the outrageously lucky winner.”

“My first instinct, the product of a lifetime of insecurities, was to wonder what I had done wrong.”

“I don't care who's a werewolf and who's a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party too.”

“It was like fate was out to make me do everything I'd ever sworn I wouldn't in the course of twenty-four hours.”

“It's the thought that counts. I ought to know.”

“Ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. His voice was so low that I was the only one who could hear. 'I held you in my hand, Wanderer. And you were so beautiful.”

“And I started to cry again, realizing that it must be changing him, too, this man who was kind enough to be a soul but strong as only a human could be.”

“There was no reason for Bella Swan to cross paths with me. She would be avoided like the plague she was.”

“I was a vampire, and she had the sweetest blood I’d smelled in eighty years.”

“I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure that I was dreaming.”

“...it didn't make things perfect, but it made them better.”

“I came to witness. I stay to fight.”

“Bella, I can't!”

“You'ld think I'ld be used to saying good bye to you by now.”

“I knowOkay, Sorry. I am.Look, I'm human. It's hard to be fair sometimes. We don't always feel the right thing, do the right thing”

“I stopped in the porch and took hold of his face in my hands. I looked fiercely into his eyes. "I love you," I said in a low, intense voice. "I will always love you, no matter what happens now.”

“—Bienvenida otra vez —musitó, tomandome en brazos. —Has dormido profundamente, no me he perdido nada —Sus ojos centellaron. —Empezaste a habar en sueños muy pronto.—¿Qué oíste? —Los ojos dorados se suavizaron.—Dijiste que me querías.—Eso ya lo sabías —le recordé. Hundí mi cabeza sobre su hombro.—Da lo mismo, es agradable oírlo.Oculté la cara contra su hombro.—Te quiero —susurré.—Ahora tú eres mi vida —se limitó a contestar.”

“—¿Alguna otra cosa? —exigí saber.—Pronunciaste mi nombre.—¿Mucho?—Exactamente... ¿cuántas veces entiendes por 'mucho'?—Oh, no...”

“It's not a good feeling--knowing that you profoundly deserve the title of monster. It's better to be kind than to feel guilty.”

“The Seeker needed a nice long lifetime eating sunshine.”

“Your scent is like a drug to me like my own personal brand of heroin.”

“‎"When you left -- he left -- you took everything with you. But the absence of him is everywhere I look." - Bella Swan, New Moon”

“Laughter was like a fresh breeze - it cleaned its way through the body making everything feel good. Did other species have such a simple healer?”

“Because through the heavy water, I heard the sound of an angel calling my name, calling me to the only heaven I wanted.”

“Surely, as a rule, some little bit of moonlight would filter through the clouds, through the clinks in the canopy of trees, and find the ground.Not tonight. Tonight the sky was utterly black. Perhaps there was no moon tonight-a lunar eclipse, a new moon.A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn't cold.”

“This hostage stuff is fun.”

“My skin burns where it meets his. It feels better than good, but it sets off a strange aching in my chest.”

“He squeezes my hand, and my heart punches against my ribs. It's just like pain, this pleasure.”
