“I tried to picture a young, insecure Edward and couldn't, but it was nice to know that once he'd been a boy. Sometimes it felt like Edward had sprung full grown from the head of some violent deity,like a vicious version of Athena.”

“We're making a list.""And checking it twice." Edward shook his head.”

“Edward smiled, I smiled, even Bernardo smiled. Olaf just looked sinister.”

“If the eyes are the window to the soul, then Edward's in trouble 'cause no one is home.”

“We aren't the good guys, Anita. We're the necessary guys. -Edward”

“You lie like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, Edward."He smiled. "I don't lie to you.""Really," I said.The smile became a grin. "Okay, not most of the time, anymore." His face sobered. "I'm not lying now.”

“Still it might be nice, once in a while, not to have to choose between evils. Just once, couldn't I choose the lesser good?”
