“no one had to tell me anything. I know what I am”

“I don’t like to lie – so there’d better be a good reason why I’m doing it.”

“…I found myself reveling in the aloneness instead of being lonely.”

“For some reason, my temper was hardwired to my tear ducts. I usually cried when I was angry, a humiliating tendency.”

“Sometimes, there isn't any way to compromise." - Eclipse, page 607”

“How easy it must be when you had no secrets from the person you lived with.”

“No estoy quemando""It was too late now to choose anything.""I turned off my brain. It was time to hunt”

“The only parents in the world who don’t need sleep, and our child already sleeps through the night.”

“Let's face it, I'm hotter than you." -Jacob Black”

“I almost took the door off the car”

“I glared at him. "I may not die now... but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer. And I'm going to get old.”

“When I write a story, it's not like I'm thinking about what I'm doing”

“I belong wherever I want to be.”

“I always say too much when I'm talking to you--- that's one of the problems....”

“You can't trust a vampire, trust me”

“I'm done, I'm so done!”

“I'm Switzerland”

“But what if...what if you sincerely believed something was true, but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth be silenced, or would it try to break through?”

“I'd never seen anything more beautiful - even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.”

“Being me has its privledges.”

“Bella: I love you. Edward: You are my life now.”

“Maybe he should have thought about all this before he knocked her up with the life-sucking monster.”

“For a second I was just a kid – a kid who had lived all of his life in the same tiny town. Just a child. Because I knew I would have to live a lot more, suffer a lot more, to ever understand the searing agony in Edward’s eyes.”

“I didn’t want to see this, didn’t want to think about this. I didn’t want to imagine him inside her. I didn’t want to know that something I hated so much had taken root in the body I loved.Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.174”

“Say it...out loud.”

“My old mind hadn’t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I’d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle’s compassion and Esme’s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that.”

“Don't worry, Mel. Miracles don't work that way. I'll never lose you. I'll never let you get away from me.”

“Wanderer: You don't really feel that way about me you know. It's this body... she's pretty isn't she?Ian: She is. Melanie is a very pretty girl. Even beautiful. But pretty as she is, she is a stranger to me. She's not the one I... care about.Wanderer: It's this body.Ian: That's not true at all. It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what they say. It's not how you look like in that body, it's what you do with it. You are beautiful.”

“It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.”

“drenching his shirt with saltwater”

“Edward can do everything, right?" I explained.Jasper snickered and Esme gave Edward a reproving look. "I hope you haven't been showing off-it's rude," she scolded."Just a bit," he laughed freely."He's been too modest actually," I corrected."Well, play for her," Esme encouraged."You just said showing off was rude," he objected."There are exceptions to every rule," she replied.”

“Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?""Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined.”

“So what are you going to tell her?""A little help?" I pleaded. "What does she want to know?"He shook his head, grinning wickedly. "That's not fair.""No, you not sharing what you know-now that's not fair.”

“We should have been wiser; we should have died yesterday.”

“No point in ignoring the truth. Doesn't make it worse to have it said out loud.”

“I knew it would begin with the end, and the end would look like death to these eyes. I had been warned.”

“I felt the pulse behind the fire raging now in my chest and realized that I'd found my heart again, just in time to wish I never had. To wish that I'd embraced the blackness while I'd still had the chance. I wanted to raise my arms and claw my chest open and rip the heart from it--anything to get rid of this toture. But I could't feel my arms, couldn't move one vanished finger.”

“At least he's alive and well. I love him enough that I want that. I want him to have what's best for him." She sighed. "I just don't want to stick around to watch.”

“And it was different because I'd already lost her so many times, so many ways, in my head. And different because she was never really mine to lose.And different because this wasn't my fault.”

“How did people do this - swallow all their fears and trust someone else so implicitly with every imperfection and fear they had...”

“But... when I left you, Bella, I left you bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch you back up again. That was bound to leave it's mark - on both of you. I'm not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can't blame either of you for something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn't let me escape the consequences.”

“History was easy, but I don't know about the Calculus. It seemed like it was making sense, so that probably means I failed.”

“After all, how many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating?”

“As long as I was on my way to hell I might as well enjoy the journey.”

“And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him”

“I did know this - every second I spent with her was only going to add to the pain I would have suffer later.”

“Don't be afraid,” I murmured. “We belong together.”

“I know it’s going to be bad for you, Jacob. I understand that—maybe better than you think. I don’t like her, but… she’s your Sam. She’s everything you want and everything you can’t have.”

“Durante tantos milenios como llevan existiendo, los humanos no han comprendido en realidad qué es el amor. ¿Cuánto hay de físico y cuánto de mental en todo eso? ¿Cuándo es accidente y cuándo destino? ¿Por qué se destruyen parejas que son perfectas y funcionan otras que parecen imposibles? No conozco las respuestas mejor que ellos. El amor está simplemente donde está.”

“...humankind's limited scopeof mercy was reserved for their own.”
