Being Mormon Is A Big Part Of Who I Am, And I Try Very Hard To Live The Right Way, But I Don't Know That I'm An Example. I Hate To Say, 'yes, Look At Me. I'm A Good Example Of Being Mormon.' I Want To Be The Best Person I Can Be, So In That Aspect, Maybe I'm A Good Example.

You Think Of Me As A... Living Stone - Hard And Cold. That's True. We Are Set The Way We Are, And It Is Very Rare For Us To Experience A Real Change. When That Happens, As When Bella Entered My Life, It Is A Permanent Change. There's No Going Back.

I Wondered To Myself Why No One Else Had Seen Him Standing So Far Away, Before He Was Suddenly, Impossibly Saving My Life. With Chagrin, I Realized The Probable Cause - No One Else Was As Aware Of Edward As I Always Was. No One Else Watched Him The Way I Did. How Pitiful.

The Rains Would End, And When They Did, Ian And I Would Be Together, Partners In The Truest Sense. This Was A Promise And An Obligation I Had Never Had In All My Lives. Thinking Of It Made Me Feel Joyful And Anxious And Shy And Desperately Impatient All At The Same Time—made Me Feel Human.

I Was An Empty Shell. Like A Vacant House―condemned―for Months I'd Been Utterly Uninhabitable. Now I Was A Little Improved. The Front Room Was In Better Repair. But That Was All―just The One Small Piece. He Deserved Better Than That―better Than A One-room, Falling-down Fixer-upper. No Amount Of Investment On His Part Could Put Me Back In Working Order.

I Flushed And Turned My Eyes Straight Ahead, Looking After The Dark Shadow That I Could No Longer See. I Could Imagine What He Was Hearing In Alice's Thoughts Now.

So That Kind Of By Default Makes Me A Feminist. I Love Working In A Female World.

No Point In Ignoring The Truth. Doesn't Make It Worse To Have It Said Out Loud.

Look, Just Stop Trying To Annihilate Yourself, Okay? Because If I Think You Can Do It, I'll Make Doc Pull Me Out Today. Or I'll Tell Jared. Just Imagine What He Would Do. I Imagined It For Her, Smiling A Little Through My Tears. Remeber? He Said No Guarantees About What He Would Or Wouldn't Do To Keep You Here. I Though Of Those Buring Kisses In The Hall...thought Of Other Kisses And Other Nights In Her Memory. My Face Warmed As I Blushed. You Fight Dirty. You Bet I Do.

Ian Didn't Come. He Just Sat Here With You--he Said He Didn't Care What You Looked Like. He Wouldn't Let Anyone Else Put A Finger On Your Tank At All, Not Even Me Or Mel. But Doc Let Me Watch This Time. It Was Way Cool, Wanda. I Don't Know Why You Wouldn't Let Me Watch Before. They Wouldn't Let Me Help, Though. Ian Wouldn't Let Anyone Touch You But Him.' 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.

In My Dream It Was Very Dark, And What Dim Light There Was Seemed To Be Radiating From Edward's Skin. I Couldn't See His Face, Just His Back As He Walked Away From Me, Leaving Me In The Blackness. No Matter How Fast I Ran, I Couldn't Catch Up To Him; No Matter How Loud I Called, He Never Turned. Troubled, I Woke In The Middle Of The Night And Couldn't Sleep Again For What Seemed Like A Very Long Time. After That, He Was In My Dreams Nearly Every Night, But Always On The Periphery, Never Within Reach.

I Was Not Allowed To Think Of Him. That Was Something I Tried To Be Very Strict About. Of Course I Slipped; I Was Only Human. But I Was Getting Better, And So The Pain Was Something I Could Avoid For Days At A Time Now. The Trade-off Was The Never-ending Numbness. Between Pain And Nothing, I'd Chosen Nothing.

Who Are You And What Have You Done With My Brother?

I'm Not Dangerous At All I Never Hurt Grandpa Or Sue Or Billy. I Love Humans. And Wolf-people Like My Jacob."renesmee Dropped Edward's Hand To Reach Back And Pat Jacob's Arm.

But The Absence Of Him Is Everywhere I Look. It's Like A Huge Hole Has Been Punched Through My Chest.

Over My Pile Of Ashes

I Wish I'd Hurt Him I Didn't Do Any Damage At All-bella I Can Fix That-edward I Was Hoping You Would Say That-bella There Was A Slight Pause "that Doesn't Sound Like You What Did He Do"-edward He Kissed Me-bella All I Heard On The Other End Of The Line Was The Sound Of An Engine Accelerating

Bella, Would You Please Stop Trying To Take Your Clothes Off?

I Took His Hand, And Suddely He Yanked Me―too Roughly―right Off The Bed So That I Thudded Against His Chest. "just In Case," He Muttered Against My Hair, Crushing Me In A Bear Hug That About To Broke My Ribs. "can't―breathe!" I Gasped.

He Never Leaves, Does He?

What A Marshmallow. You Should Hold Out For Someone With A Stronger Stomach. Someone Who Laughs At The Gore That Makes Weaker Men Vomit.

I Could Really Appreciate Him Now - Could Properly See Every Beautiful Line Of His Perfect Face, Of His Long, Flawless Body With My Strong New Eyes, Every Angle And Every Plane Of Him. I Could Taste His Pure, Vivid Scent On My Tongue And Feel The Unbelievable Silkiness Of His Marble Skin Under My Sensitive Fingertips.

Love Is Irrational, I Reminded Myself. The More You Loved Someone, The Less Sense Anything Made.

"you've Experienced The Way I Can Manipulate The Emotions Around Myself, Bella, But I Wonder If You Realize How The Feelings In A Room Affect Me. I Live Every Day In A Climate Of Emotion. For The First Century Of My Life, I Lived In A World Of Bloodthirsty Vengeance. Hate Was My Constant Companion." - Jasper Hale

It Makes Me . . . Anxious . . . To Be Away From You.

Twilight Edward

I Think She's Having Hysterics. Maybe You Should Slap Her.

It Never Made Sense For You To Love Me.

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.

I Thought You Were Supposed To Be Pretending I Don’t Exist, Not Irritating Me To Death.

“don't Be Offended, But You Seem To Be One Of Those People Who Just Attract Accidents Like A Magnet. So... Try Not To Fall Into The Ocean Or Get Run Over Or Anything, All Right?” He Smiled Crookedly. The Helplessness Had Faded As He Spoke. I Glared At Him. “i'll See What I Can Do,” I Snapped As I Jumped Out Into The Rain. I Slammed The Door Behind Me With Excessive Force. He Was Still Smiling As He Drove Away.

The Best 4 Letter Word In The World Is Hope

The Right Thing Isn't Always Real Obvious. Sometimes The Right Thing For One Person Is The Wrong Thing For Someone Else. So...good Luck Figuring That Out.

Worst High Five Ever." - Diego

This Place Was Truly The Highest And The Lowest Of All Worlds - The Most Beautiful Senses, The Most Exquisite Emotions.. The Most Malevolent Desires, The Darkest Deeds. Perhaps It Was Meant To Be So. Perhaps Without The Lows, The Highs Could Not Be Reached.

I Always Say Too Much When I'm Talking To You--- That's One Of The Problems.... Edward Cullen Twilight, Chapter 5

It's Not What You Are. It's What You Do.

Hey, Do You Know What You Call A Blond With A Brain?" I Asked, And The Continued On The Same Breath, "a Golden Retriever." I've Heard That One, Too," She Said, No Longer Smiling. I'll Keep Trying." I Promised.

Golden Retrievers

"what Are You Thinking?" He Asked Curiously. I Looked Up Into His Deep Gold Eyes, Became Befuddled, And, As Usual, Blurted Out The Truth. "i'm Trying To Figure Out What You Are."

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.

As I Took Another Breath, I Saw The Three Stars Again. They Were Not Calling To Me; They Were Letting Me Go, Leaving Me To The Black Universe I Had Wandered For So Many Lifetimes. I Drifted Into The Black, And It Got Brighter And Brighter. It Wasn't Black At All - It Was Blue. Warm, Vibrant, Brilliant Blue...i Floated Into It With No Fear At All.

Only A Teenage Boy Would Agree To This: Deceiving Both Our Parents While Repairing Dangerous Vehicles Using Money Meant For My College Education. He Didn't See Anything Wrong With That Picture. Jacob Was A Gift From The Gods.

It Was Like Someone Had Died- Like I Had Died. Because It Had Been More Than Just Losing The Truest Of True Loves, As If That Were Not Enough To Kill Anyone. It Was Also Losing A Whole Future, A Whole Family- The Whole Life That I'd Chosen...

You Know, Jacob, If It Weren’t For The Fact That We’re Natural Enemies And That You’re Also Trying To Steal Away The Reason For My Existence, I Might Actually Like You.

I Did Know This- Every Second I Spent With Her Was Only Going To Add To The Pain I Would Have Suffer Later

My Life Was An Unending, Unchanging Midnight. It Must, By Necessity, Always Be Midnight For Me. So How Was It Possible That The Sun Was Rising Now, In The Middle Of My Midnight?

Though There Was No Sound, There Was A Change. The Atmosphere, Which Had Gone Tense At My Accusation, Relaxed. I Wondered How I Knew This. I Had A Strange Sensation That I Was Somehow Receiving More Than My Five Senses Were Giving Me - Almost A Feeling That There Was Another Sense, On The Fringes, Not Quite Harnessed. Intuition? That Was Almost The Right Word. As If Any Creature Needed More Than Five Senses.

Edward: It Wasn't The Worst Night Of My Life. Jake: Did It Make The Top Ten? Edward: Possibly. But, If I Had Been Able To Take Your Place Last Night, It Would Not Have Made The Top Ten Of The Best Nights Of My Life. Dream About That.

You Are The Most Beautiful Thing In My World.

Even If We All Want You Here, You Don't Belong Until You Decide You Do.

I Was In Disbelief That I’d Just Explained My Dreary Life To This Bizarre, Beautiful Boy Who May Or May Not Despise Me. Bella Swan

If We Had Happy Endings, We’d All Be Under Gravestones Now.

With 'twilight,' I Felt The Actors Needed To Be Up-and-coming Artists That Haven't Been Recognized Yet.

I Like The Night. Without The Dark, We'd Never See The Stars.

Is The Fire Gone?" "yes," I Sighed. "thank You, Edward." "i Love You," He Answered. "i Know," I Breathed, So Tired. I Heard My Favorite Sound In The World: Edward's Quiet Laugh, Weak With Relief.

So, How Come Jacob Black Gets To Give You A Gift And I Don't? Because I Have Nothing To Give Back To You. Bella, You Give Me Everything Just By Breathing.

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.

When I Left You, Bella, I Left You Bleeding. Jacob Was The One To Stitch You Back Up Again. That Was Bound To Leave Its Mark - On Both Of You.

I Said It Would Be Better If We Weren’t Friends, Not That I Didn’t Want To Be.

The Smile Broke Across His Face The Way The Sunrise Set The Clouds On Fire.

Dazed And Disoriented, I Looked Up From The Bright Red Blood Pulsing Out Of My Arm - Into The Fevered Eyes Of The Six Suddenly Ravenous Vampires.

And So The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb.

My Skin Burns Where It Meets His. It Feels Better Than Good, But It Sets Off A Strange Aching In My Chest.

I Was Just Thinking – Today Is The First And Last Day Of Forever. It’s Kind Of Hard To Wrap My Head Around It. Even With All This Extra Room For Wrapping.

Do I Dazzle You?" I Voiced My Curiosity Impulsively, And Then The Words Were Out, And It Was Too Late To Recall Them. But Before I Had Time To Too Deeply Regret Speaking The Words Aloud, She Answered "frequently." And Her Cheeks Took On A Faint Pink Glow. I Dazzled Her. My Silent Heart Swelled With A Hope More Intense Than I Could Ever Remember Having Felt Before.

More Than My Own Life

And The Sound Of Your Heart," He Continued. "it's The Most Significant Sound In My World. I'm So Attuned To It Now, I Swear I Could Pick It Out From Miles Away. But Neither Of These Things Matter. This," He Said, Taking My Face In His Hands. "you. That's What I'm Keeping. You'll Always Be My Bella, You'll Just Be A Little More Durable.

Jacob Was A Gift From The Gods.

Can't You Just Thank Me And Get Over It?" "thank You." I Waited, Fuming And Expectant. "you're Not Going To Let It Go, Are You?" "no." "in That Case . . . I Hope You Enjoy Disappointment." We Scowled At Each Other In Silence. I Was The First To Speak, Trying To Keep Myself Focused. I Was In Danger Of Being Distracted By His Livid, Glorious Face. It Was Like Trying To Stare Down A Destroying Angel. "why Did You Even Bother?" I Asked Frigidly. He Paused, And For A Brief Moment His Stunning Face Was Unexpectedly Vulnerable. "i Don't Know," He Whispered.

I'm In Love With You, Bella

Those Who Lived In Peaceful Nations Had Looked The Other Way As Members Of Their Own Species Starved On Their Door Step.

But If You Ever Bring Her Back Damaged Again - And I Don't Care Whose Fault It Is; I Don't Care If She Merely Trips, Or If A Meteor Falls Out Of The Sky And Hits Her In The Head - If You Return Her To Me In Less Than The Perfect Condition That I Left Her In, You Will Be Running With Three Legs. Do You Understand That, Mongrel?

Yeah, It's An Off Day When I Don't Get Somebody Telling Me How Edible I Smell." - Bella Swan.

I Kept Pushing Against The Black, Though, Almost A Reflex. I Wasn't Trying To Lift It. I Was Just Resisting. Not Allowing It To Crush Me Completely. I Wasn't Atlas, And The Black Felt As Heavy As A Planet; I Couldn't Shoulder It. All I Could Do Was Not Be Entirely Obliterated.

If I Were To Continue On With 'the Host,' Which Is A Possibility, There Are Characters And Stories That Could Continue... If I Went Ahead With That, It Would Be Two More... Next Would Be 'the Soul,' And Then 'the Seeker.

Here In The Trees It Was Much Easier To Believe The Absurdities That Embarrassed Me Indoors.

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

The Way I Feel About You Will Never Change. Of Course I Love You—and There's Nothing You Can Do About It!” “that's All I Needed To Hear.

Will You Be?” I Asked, Suddenly Anxious. “will You Really Be Here?” “as Long As You Want Me,” He Assured Me. “i'll Always Want You,” I Warned Him. “forever.

All The Lines That Held Me To My Life Were Sliced Apart In Swift Cuts, Like Clipping The Strings Of A Bunch Of Balloons. Everything That Made Me Who I Was - My Love For The Dead Girl Upstairs, My Love For My Father, My Loyalty To My New Pack, The Love For My Other Brothers, My Hatred For My Enemies, My Home, My Name, My Self - Disconnected From Me In That Second - Snip, Snip, Snip - And Floated Up Into Space.

About Three Things I Was Absolutely Positive. First, Edward Was A Vampire. Second, There Was A Part Of Him - And I Didn’t Know How Potent That Part Might Be - That Thirsted For My Blood. And Third, I Was Unconditionally And Irrevocably In Love With Him.

You Can't Trust A Vampire, Trust Me

Don't Be Afraid," I Said, "we Belong Together." I Was Immediatly Overcome By The Truth Of My Own Words.

Why Didn't I Just Walk Away? Oh Right, Because I'm A Idiot.

I Was Stronger Than Edward. I'd Made Him Say Ow.

Let Her See Me Clearly.

Jared Glared Balefully At The Old Man, His Eyes Full Of The Shock And Pain Of The Betrayed. I Had Only Human Comparisons For Such A Look. Caesar And Brutus, Jesus And Judas.

I Knew The Human Exaggeration For Sorrow-a Broken Heart.

You…made…me…faint,” I Accused Him Dizzily. “what Am I Going To Do With You?” He Groaned In Exasperation. “yesterday I Kiss You, And You Attack Me! Today You Pass Out On Me!” I Laughed Weakly, Letting His Arms Support Me While My Head Spun. “so Much For Being Good At Everything,” He Sighed. “that's The Problem.” I Was Still Dizzy. “you're Too Good. Far, Far Too Good.

It's Strong, Ian. The Way She Feels About You Is Something Else. She Loves This World, But So Much Of The Reason She Couldn't Leave Was Really You. She Thinks Of You As Her Anchor. You Gave Her A Reason To Finally Stay In One Place After A Lifetime Of Wandering.

I Was Perfect- Not Healed, But As If There Had Never Been A Wound In The First Place

I Felt Like I Was Staring Out Across An Ocean That I Was Going To Have To Swim From Shore To Shore Before I Could Rest Again.

But Never In The Four Hundred Years Now Since I Was Born, Have I Ever Seen Anything To Make Me Doubt Whether God Exists In Some Form Or The Other. Not Even The Reflection In The Mirror.

...the Way A Man Might Hesitate Before He Kissed A Woman, To Gauge Her Reaction, To See How He Would Be Received. Perhaps He Would Hesitate To Prolong The Moment, That Ideal Moment Of Anticipation, Sometimes Better Than Kiss Itself.

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.

But What If It Were You? What If You Were Stuffed In A Human Body And Let Loose On This Planet Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Your Own Kind? What If You Were Such A Good Person That You Tried To Save The Life That You'd Taken That You Almost Died Trying To Get Her Back To Her Family? What If You Then Found Yourself Surrounded By Violent Aliens Who Hated You And Tried To Hurt You And Tried To Murder You Over And Over Again? What If You Just Kept Doing Whatever You Could To Save And Heal People Despite That? Wouldn't You Deserve A Life Too? Wouldn't You Have Earned That Much?

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.

Forever," Edward Echoed In My Ear. I Couldn't Speak Anymore. I Lifted My Head And Kissed Him With A Passion That Might Possibly Set The Forest On Fire. I Wouldn't Have Noticed.

Sell Stupid Somewhere Else--there's Nothing Better Than That Face!

I Tensed, Waiting For The Fury - Both His And Mine - But It Was Only Quiet And Calm In The Darkness Of His Room. I Could Almost Taste The Sweetness Of Reunion In The Air, A Separate Fragrance From The Perfume Of His Breath; The Emptiness When We Were Apart Left Its Own Bitter Aftertaste, Something I Didn't Consciously Notice Until It Was Removed. There Was No Friction In The Space Between Us. The Stillness Was Peaceful - Not Like The Calm Before The Tempest, But Like A Clear Night Untouched By Even The Dream Of A Storm.

Do I Dazzle You? - Edward Frequently - Bella

I Don't Have The Strength To Stay Away From You Anymore

I Love You More Than Anything In The World Combined.

I Miss You When You’re Not There. When You’re Happy, It Makes Me Happy. But I Could Say The Same Thing About Charlie, Jacob. You’re Family. I Love You, But I’m Not In Love With You.

I Got Famous In My 30s. I Already Had A Real Life And Kids And Responsibilities, Like Laundry And Cleaning Bathrooms. It's Hard Not Be Grounded When You Have That. I Think, If You Get Super-famous And Everyone Tells You You're Wonderful When You're 12, It's Probably A Lot Harder.

Her Name Is Wanda, Not It. You Will Not Touch Her. Any Mark You Leave On Her, I Will Double On Your Worthless Hide.

Billy Wanted Me To Stay A Safe Distance From The Most Important Person In My Life. It Turned Out That His Concern Was, In The End, Unnecessary. I Was All Too Safe Now.

Do You Really Have Any Idea How Important You Are To Me? Any Concept At All Of How Much I Love You?" He Pulled Me Tighter Against His Hard Chest, Tucking My Head Under His Chin. I Pressed My Lips Against His Snow-cold Neck. "i Know How Much I Love You," I Answered. You Compare One Small Tree To The Entire Forest." I Rolled My Eyes, But He Couldn't See. "impossible.

And He Was My Friend. Not That He Wouldn't Kill Me If Things Turned Out That Way, But He Wouldn't Like Doing It. With Humans, What More Could You Ask For A Friend?

So It’s Still Standing?” He Managed To Get Out Between His Snickers. “i Would’ve Thought You Two Had Knocked It To Rubble By Now. What Were You Doing Last Night? Discussing The National Debt?” Emmett Howled With Laughter.

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.

Once You Cared About A Person, It Was Impossible To Be Logical About Them Anymore.

I Wanted The Monster Back And That Was Plainly Wrong.

Love Doesn't Always Come In Convenient Packages.

All I Can Guess Is That When I Write, I Forget That It's Not Real. I'm Living The Story, And I Think People Can Read That Sincerity About The Characters. They Are Real To Me While I'm Writing Them, And I Think That Makes Them Real To The Readers As Well.

I Shuddered At The Image In My Head, At The Word Feed. But Jasper Wasn’t Worried About Frightening Me, Not Overprotective Like Edward Always Was.

Like Everything In Life, I Just Had To Decide What To Do With What I Was Given.
