Over My Pile Of Ashes

My First Feeling Was That There Was No Way To Continue. Writing Isn't Like Math;in Math, Two Plus Two Always Equals Four No Matter What Your Mood Is Like. With Writing, The Way You Feel Changes Everything.

Jacob Was Hardly In Need Of Any Physical Protection I Could Offer. But My Arms, Pinned Beneath Edward's, Yearned To Reach Out To Him. To Wrap Around His Big, Warm, Waist In A Silent Promise Of Acceptance And Comfort. Edward's Shielding Arms Had Become Restraints.

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 Was A Vampire, And She Had The Sweetest Blood I’d Smelled In Eighty Years.

Leave It To You, Bella. Anyone Else Would Be Better Off When The Vampires Left Town. But You Have To Start Hanging Out With The First Monsters You Can Find.

Oh You Do Smell Good.

I Think There Are Many Feminists Who Would Say That I Am Not A Feminist. I Love Women, I Have A Lot Of Girlfriends, I Admire Them, They Make So Much More Sense To Me Than Men, And I Feel Like The World Is A Better Place When Women Are In Charge. So That Kind Of By Default Makes Me A Feminist. I Love Working In A Female World.

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?

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?

Stop It, Mom, You're Making Me Blush.

It Felt Almost Rude To Ignore Toe Pretty White Bed, But We Just Weren’t Going To Make It That Far.

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

I Believe That. But I Want You To Know Something — When It Comes To All This Enemies Nonsense, I’m Out. I Am A Neutral Country. I Am Switzerland. I Refuse To Be Affected By Territorial Disputes Between Mythical Creatures. Jacob Is Family. You Are . . . Well, Not Exactly The Love Of My Life, Because I Expect To Love You For Much Longer Than That. The Love Of My Existence. 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.

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

Did You Know, You're Sort Of Beautiful?' 'you Hit Your Head Pretty Hard, Didn't You?

No Two Writers Go About Things In Exactly The Same Way (intro)

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

His Gold Eyes Grew Very Soft. “you Said You Loved Me.” “you Knew That Already,” I Reminded Him, Ducking My Head. “it Was Nice To Hear, Just The Same.” I Hid My Face Against His Shoulder. “i Love You,” I Whispered. “you Are My Life Now,” He Answered Simply. There Was Nothing More To Say For The Moment. He Rocked Us Back And Forth As The Room Grew Lighter.

You’re Still Waiting For The Running And The Screaming, Aren’t You?

After All The Planets And All The Hosts You've Left Behind, You've Finally Found The Place And The Body You'd Die For. I Think You've Found Your Home, Wanderer.

Jasper? What Do Vampires Do For Bachelor Parties? You're Not Taking Him To A Strip Club, Are You?

I’d Noticed That His Eyes Were Black – Coal Black.

There S A Difference Between Being In Love And Being In Love With The Idea Of Love.

I Couldn‘t Make Sense Of The Mess In My Head. Diego Was Dead, And That Was The Main Thing, The Devastating Thing. Other Than That, The Fight Was Over, My Coven Had Lost And My Enemies Had Won. But My Dead Coven Was Full Of People Who Would Have Loved To Watch Me Burn, And My Enemies Were Speaking To Me Kindly When They Had No Reason To.

Happiness Expanded Like An Explosion Inside Me – So Extreme, So Violent That I Wasn’t Sure I’d Survive It.

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.

Don't Worry, Mel. Miracles Don't Work That Way. I'll Never Lose You. I'll Never Let You Get Away From Me.

You Aren't Exactly The Best Judge Of What Is Or Isn't Dangerous.

You Gonna Back Down So Easy, Little Sister?. Not Much Wild About You, Is There? I Bet That Cottage Doesn't Have A Scratch. Did Edward Tell You How Many Houses Rose And I Smashed?

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.

You May Have Taken The Planet, But You Will Lose This Game!

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.

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...

Perhaps There Could Be No Joy On This Planet Without An Equal Weight Of Pain To Balance It Out On Some Unknown Scale.

Did Ya Get In A Couple Of Good Swipes?" Emmett Asked Eagerly. "no! Of Course Not!" "no, Not Really? You Really Didnt Attack Him?" "emmett!" I Protested. "aw, What A Waste. And Here You're Probably The One Person Who Could Take Him- Since He Can't Get Into Your Head To Cheat- And You Had A Perfect Excuse Too. I've Been Dying To See How He'd Do Without That Advantage.

How Easy It Must Be When You Had No Secrets From The Person You Lived With." - Eclipse, Page 208

Maybe I Was What Leah Thought She Was. Some Kind Of Dead End That Shouldn’t Be Passed On To Another Generation. Or Maybe It Was Just That My Life Was A Big, Cruel Joke, And There Was No Escape From The Punch Line. -jacob

The Only Reason I Left Was To Protect You.

You Are...well, Not Exactly The Love Of My Life, Because I Expect To Love You For Much Longer Than That. The Love Of My Existence." -bella

Love Of My Life

Say What You Want, I Still Think Dracula One And Dracula Two Are Creep-tacular.

I Used To Think Of You That Way, You Know. Like The Sun. My Personal Sun. You Balanced Out The Clouds Nicely For Me." He Sighed. "the Clouds I Can Handle. But I Can't Fight With An Eclipse.

Real. Does That Make Me Imaginary?

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.

No, Actually 'the Host' Was Totally A Palate-cleanser For Me. I Wanted To Do Something A Little Bit Different Than Romantic Love. Romantic Love Is In There, Obviously, Because I Enjoy Writing About That And Living It A Lot.

It Will Be As If I Never Existed

And Then Writing, It Was Like I Just Found It, You Know? Like You Just Found Your Favorite Flavor Of Ice Cream, All Of A Sudden There It Is. 'this Is What I Should Have Been Doing For The Last Thirty Years. What Was I Thinking?' So I Was, Then I Was In And Then I Had To Just Keep Going With It.

We Value The Individual. We Probably Put Too Much Emphasis On The Individual, If It Comes Right Down To It. How Many People, In The Abstract, Would...let's Say Paige....how Many People Would She Sacrifice To Keep Andy Alive? The Answer Wouldn't Make Any Sense If You Were Looking At The Whole Of Humanity As Equals.

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.

Charlie Took My Hand And, In A Symbol As Old As The World, Placed It In Edward’s. I Touched The Cool Miracle Of His Skin, And I Was Home.

It’s Just Been My Experience That Some Kinds Of Working Relationships Are Better Motivated By Fear Than By Monetary Gain.

How Sad. How Frightening. To Be Filled With So Much Hate That You Could Not Even Rejoice In The Healing Of A Child...how Did Anyone Ever Come To That Point?

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.

Try Not To Trip," She Added. "we Don't Have Time For A Concussion Today." I Groaned. That Would Be Just Like Me - Ruin Everything, Destroy The World, In A Moment Of Klutziness.

Out Of All The Things About Me That Could Frighten You, You Worry About My Driving.

Twilight Edward

I Want To Be A Monster Too

It's Always Better To Be Kind. I'm Glad I Know Why." -wanda

Edward Helped, Making Faces Every So Often At The Raw Ingredients-human Food Was Mildly Repulsive To Him.

I Didn’t Realize I Was Crying Until It Was Time To Say The Blinding Words. ‘i Do,’ I Managed To Choke Out In A Nearly Unintelligible Whisper... When It Was His Turn To Speak, The Words Rang Clear And Victorious. ‘i Do,’ He Vowed.

I Belong Wherever I Want To Be.

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

I Watched His Fingers Clench And Unclench, And I Wondered If He Was Dreaming That They Were Wrapped Around My Neck.

In Summary, She Did Jump Off A Cliff, But She Wasn't Trying To Kill Herself. Bella's All About The Extreme Sports These Days." 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. Near-drowings, Stalking Vampires, Werewolf Friends . . . "hm," Edward Said Curtly, And The Casual Tone Of His Voice Was Gone.

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

Despite My Best Efforts I’ve Seen You Naked Before – Doesn’t Do Much For Me So No Worries.

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.

Run, Bella, Run. I Love You Too Much, For Your Good Or Mine.

Let Me Guess,' Ian Said In A Voice Like Ice. 'you Fell On A Rock.

There Was No Reason For Bella Swan To Cross Paths With Me. She Would Be Avoided Like The Plague She Was.

I Didn't Relate Well To People My Age. Maybe The Truth Was That I Didn't Relate Well To People, Period. Even My Mother, Who I Was Closer To Than Anyone Else On The Planet, Was Never In Harmony With Me, Never On Exactly The Same Page. Sometimes I Wondered If I Was Seeing The Same Things Through My Eyes That The Rest Of The World Was Seeing Through Theirs. Maybe There Was A Glitch In My Brain.

Like We Were Connected, The Echo Of His Pain Twisted Inside Inside Me. His Pain, My Pain.

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

Books Have Been Thought Of As Windows To Another World Of Imagination

I Wrapped My Arms Around His Neck And Pulled Myself Closer To Him Until My Lips Touched His.

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 Was Giving Up On Keeping Me Alive, Letting Nature–or Rather Mob Justice–take Its Course. When He Returned, And I Was Dead, He Wouldn't Hold Anyone Responsible. He Would Not Mourn. All This I Could Hear In Those Three Words.

No One Could Be Still Like Edward.

You're Intoxicated By My Very Presence.

It Took Only Seconds For Me To Make These Discoveries, But Even In That Short Time, My Stomach Nearly Jumped Through My Mouth Trying To Reach The Food.

I Always Needed That Extra Fantasy World. I Had To Have Another World I Could Be In At The Same Time.

Nudity Was An Inconvenient But Unavoidable Part Of Pack Life. We'�d All Thought Nothing Of It Before Leah Came Along. Then It Got Awkward. - Jacob Black

Edward Was Always Focused, Watching And Also Listening To What Others Couldn't See.

Edward's Only Human Bella. He's Going To React Like Any Other Boy.

Twilight Series

I Don’t Like To Lie – So There’d Better Be A Good Reason Why I’m Doing It.

You’ve Got To Have A Little More Confidence In Us Than That. It’s Insulting.

"you’re Exactly Like Charlie." She'd Sighed, Resigned. "once You Make Up Your Mind, There Is No Reasoning With You. Of Course, Exactly Like Charlie, You Stick By Your Decisions, Too."

Repeat One Word Of What I Just Said And I'll Cheerfully Beat You To Death, Mike.

When I Write A Story, It's Not Like I'm Thinking About What I'm Doing

I Tried To Remember How To Exhale. I Had To Look Away Before It Came Back To Me.

The Thing People Don't Realize, God Bless Them, Is That My Books Are Supposed To Suck.

Dream Happy Dreams. You Are The Only One Who Has Ever Touched My Heart. It Will Always Be Yours. Sleep,my Only Love.

He Called You Pretty...that's Practically An Insult, The Way You Look Right Now...you're Much More Than Beautiful.

Sometimes I’m Afraid That I’m Losing Myself.

Humans Were Always Surprising Me.

I Can’t Be Sure, Of Course, But I’d Compare It To Living On Tofu And Soy Milk; We Call Ourselves Vegetarians, Our Little Inside Joke. - Edward Cullen

It's Real Interesting To Have A Soul As A Friend, And It Makes Me Feel Super Special That I've Managed It.

"aren't You Hungry?" He Asked, Distracted. "no." I Didn't Feel Like Mentioning That My Stomach Was Already Full - Of Butterflies.

Speaking Of Which, Would You Like To Explain To Me How You’re Alive

Of Course, Die For The Monster Spawn. It Was So Bella.

You Can Have Me The Way I Am — Bad Behavior Included — Or Not At All.

I Don't Want To Be A Vampire. A Lot Of Other People Do And I Think It's That Dual Nature - We Have, You Know, Terrifying/intriguing.

As If You Could Outrun Me.

His Voice Was Like Honey And Velvet. "death, That Hath Sucked The Honey Of Thy Breath, Hath Had No Power Yet Upon Thy Beauty," He Murmured, And I Recognized The Line Spoken By Romeo In The Tomb.

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.

It's Twilight. It’s The Safest Time Of Day For Us. The Easiest Time. But Also The Saddest, In A Way...the End Of Another Day, The Return Of The Night. Darkness Is So Predictable, Don’t You Think?

Now And Then I See Something In Her Eyes, And I Wonder If I’ve Ever Grasped How Much Pain She’s Really In.

Do You Like Scary Stories? He Asked Ominously. Jacob Black

Some Of The Memories Were Not Clear - -dim Human Memories, Seen Through Weak Eyes And Heard Through Weak Ears: The First Time I'd Seen His Face... The Way It Felt When He'd Held Me In The Meadow... The Sound Of His Voice Through The Darkness Of My Faltering Consciousness When He'd Save Me From James... His Face As He Waited Under A Canopy Of Flowers To Marry Me... Every Precious Moment On The Island... His Cold Hands Touching Our Baby Through My Skin.

He Leaned Over To Kiss The Top Of My Head, And Then Groaned. I Looked At Him, Puzzled. "you Smell So Good In The Rain," He Explained. "in A Good Way, Or In A Bad Way?" I Asked Cautiously. He Sighed. "both, Always Both.

Would You Like To Hear My Story, Bella? It Doesn't Have A Happy Ending - But Which Of Ours Does? If We Had Happy Endings, We'd All Be Under Gravestones Now.

I Peeked Up At Him One More Time, And Regretted It. He Was Glaring Down At Me Again, His Black Eyes Full Of Revulsion. As I Flinched Away From Him, Shrinking Against My Chair, The Phrase If Looks Could Kill Suddenly Ran Through My Mind.

I Wondered – Would A Bullet Through My Temple Actually Kill Me Or Just Leave A Really Big Mess For Me To Clean Up?

Happy And Sad, Elated And Miserable, Secure And Afraid, Loved And Denied, Patient And Angry, Peaceful And Wild, Complete And Empty...all Of It. I Would Feel Everything. It Would All Be Mine.

Mike's Eyes Narrowed Shrewdly. "don't Kid Yourself, Bella. The Guy's Head Over Heels For You." "i Know," I Sighed. "life Is Complicated." "and Girls Are Cruel," Mike Said Under His Breath.

I Don’t Care About Anything But Keeping Her Alive. If It’s A Child She Wants, She Can Have It. She Can Have Half A Dozen Babies. Anything She Wants. She Can Have Puppies, If That’s What It Takes.

It's Been Almost A Century That Edward's Been Alone. Now He's Found You. You Can't See The Changes We See, We Who Have Been With Him For So Long. Do You Think Any Of Us Want To Look Into His Eyes For The Next Hundred Years If He Loses You?

It Won't Be The Same For Me," I Whispered, Half To Myself. "you Won't Let Me Be Like That. We'll Live In Antarctica." Edward Snorted, Breaking The Tension. "penguins. Lovely.

Hope Your New Boots Are Fast Bella. One Little Jar Isn't Going To Keep A Hungry Bear Occupied For Long." "i Only Have To Be Faster Than You.

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?

I Made A Concerned Effort To Focus. There Was Something I Needed To Say. The Most Important Thing. I Love You," I Said, But It Sounded Like Singing. My Voice Rang And Shimmered Like A Bell. As I Love You,"he Told Me.

My Mom Is Part Albino.

Time Means Little; I Never Notice Its Passing.

It's Just That, I Know How You're Unhappy A Lot. And, Maybe It Doesn't Help Anything, But I Wanted You To Know That I'm Always Here. I Won't Ever Let You Down―i Promise That You Can Always Count On Me. Wow, That Does Sound Corny. But You Know That, Right? That I Would Never, Ever Hurt You?" "yeah Jake. I Know That. And I Already Do Count On You, Probably More Than You Know.

Don't Be A Baby About This. No Tantrums.

If You Turned The Fabric Of Our Lives Over, I Imagined The Design On The Backside Would Be Woven In The Bleak Grays Of Doubt And Fear.

By The Way, I Love You.” “that’s Why We're Here.

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

He Looks At You Like... Like You're Something To Eat.

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.

Next Time You Want To Hit Me Hit Me With A Baseball Bat Or A Crowbar!

He Was Trying To Be Everywhere At Once," The Redhead Told The Human. "trying To Make Sure Alice Had Nothing To Do, Actually." He Shook His Head As He Looked At The Tiny Blackhaired Girl. "alice Doesn‘t Need Anyone‘s Help." The Vampire Named Alice Shot A Glare At Jasper. "overprotective Fool," She Said In Her Clear Soprano Voice. Jasper Met Her Stare With A Half Smile, Seeming To Forget For A Second That I Existed.

The Best 4 Letter Word In The World Is Hope

Dont Be Afraid", I Murmured. "we Belong Together." I Was Abruptly Overwhelmed By Th Truth Of My Own Words. This Moment Was So Perfect, There Was No Way To Boubt It. His Arms Wrapped Around Me, Holding Me Against Him...it Felt Like Every Nerve Ending In My Body Was A Live Wire. "forever," He Agreed.

For One Half Second, I Wondered What It Would Feel Like To Put My Hand In The Fire. What It Would Feel Like When I Burned.

I Already Know How Strong You Are. You Didn't Have To Break The Furniture." —bella Swan

He Put His Cold Hands On Either Side Of My Face And Fixed His Golden Eyes On Mine. "would You Please Tell Me What You're Thinking? Before I Go Mad?

Mostly I Dream About Being With You Forever.

Vampirism, For Me, Was A Way To Live In Fantasy And Have Superpowers, But Not Just In A Really Perfect, Happy, Everything Is Great Way. It's Superpowers With A Cost. It's Having To Be The Villain, And What Do You Do About That.

You Look Tired." "yeah," I Agreed, And Shrugged. "near-death Experiences Do That To Me . . .

Children In The Abstract, Had Never Appealed To Me. They Seemed To Be Loud Creatures, Often Dripping Some Form Of Goo.

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.

I Wish There Had Been Someone There To Vote No For Me -rosalie Cullen

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.

"hey Jacob!" I Felt An Unfamiliar Surge Of Enthusiasm At His Smile. I Realized That I Was Pleased To See Him. This Knowledge Surprised Me. I Smiled Back, And Something Clicked Silently Into Place, Like Two Corresponding Puzzle Pieces. I'd Forgotten How Much I Really Liked Jacob Black.

Fall Down Again, Bella?' No, Emmett, I Punched A Werewolf In The Face.

Why Does Ian Think I Have To Kiss You?

Good Luck Tended To Avoid Me.

Jacob Was Simply A Perpetually Happy Person, And He Carried This Happiness With Him Like An Aura, Sharing It With Whoever Was Near Him. Lika An Earthbound Sun, Whenever Someone Was Within His Gravitational Pull, Jacob Warmed Them. It Was Natural, A Part Of Who He Was.

I Walked Towards My Fate With My Destiny Standing Solidly By My Side

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.

Lie To Me. She Whispered. I Love You. He Said.

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.

I Knew I Was Too Late—and I Was Glad Something Bloodthirsty Waited In The Wings. For In Failing At This, I Forfeited Any Desire To Live.

You Dont Know How Hard It Was For Me To Take You And Leave Them Alive.

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.

But You See, Just Because We've Been...dealt A Certain Hand...it Doesn't Mean We Can't Choose To Rise Above- To Conquer The Boundaries Of A Destiny That None Of Us Wanted. To Try To Retain Whatever Essential Humanity We Can.

He Raised His Hand, Hesitant, Conflict Raging In His Eyes, And Then Swiftly Brushed The Length Of My Cheekbone With His Fingertips. His Skin Was As Icy As Ever, But The Trail His Fingers Left On My Skin Was Alarmingly Warm - Like I'd Been Burned, But Didn't Feel The Pain Of It Yet.

Don't Take Too Long, Mrs. Cullen

You Don’t Have Anything Like This. For Crying Out Loud, You Only Own One Skirt!

There Really Is Something Irresistible About A Lost Cause.

Please Don't Run Away. And, Um, I'd Rather You Didn't Kick Me Again Either.

I’ve Chosen My Life — Now I Want To Start Living It.

She Wasn't Speaking To Me - In The Juvenile, Petty Sense Of The Phrase.

Just Like A Kitten That Thinks Its A Tiger.

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.

Not Many People Get Every Single Thing They Want Plus All The Things They Didn't Think To Ask For In The Same Day.

I Will Always Tell You The Truth.

Twilight, Again. Another Ending. No Matter How Perfect The Day Is, It Always Has To End.

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.

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.

Melanie Still Grieves For Jared," She Stated. I Felt My Head Nod Without Willing The Action. "you Grieve For Him." I Closed My Eyes. "the Dreams Continue?" "every Night," I Mumbled. "tell Me About Then." Her Voice Was Soft, Persuasive. "i Don't Like To Talk About Them." "i Know. Try. It Might Help." "how? How Will It Help To Tell You That I See His Face Every Time I Close My Eyes? That I Wake Up And Cry When He's Not There? That The Memories Are So Strong I Can't Separate Hers From Mine Anymore?

It Sounded Like You Were Having Bella For Lunch, And We Came To See If You Would Share.

It Was The First Time I'd Ever Felt Truly Jealous Of Anyone Else In My Entire Life.

Life And Love Would Go On. Even Though It Would Happen Without Me, The Idea Brought Me Joy.

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.

Before I Tell You My Story," Jasper Said. "you Must Understand That There Are Places In Our World, Bella, Where The Life Span Of The Never-aging Is Measured In Weeks, And Not Centuries.

Super-secret Ninja Club Sounds Way Cooler Than The Whole Bff Thing.

It Was Nice To Be Alone, Not To Have To Smile And Look Pleased; A Relief To Stare Dejectedly Out The Window At The Sheeting Rain And Let Just A Few Tears Escape.

Eight Full Lives,” I Whispered Against His Jaw, My Voice Breaking. “eight Full Lives And I Never Found Anyone I Would Stay On A Planet For, Anyone I Would Follow When They Left. I Never Found A Partner. Why Now? Why You? You're Not Of My Species. How Can You Be My Partner?” “it's A Strange Universe,” He Murmured. “it's Not Fair,” I Complained, Echoing Sunny's Words. It Wasn't Fair. How Could I Find This, Find Love–now, In This Eleventh Hour–and Have To Leave It? Was It Fair That My Soul And Body Couldn't Reconcile? Was It Fair That I Had To Love Melanie, Too?

He Sparked On His Body That Reflect Like Mini Mirrors Of Diamond

So This Was Different. I Was Amazing Now - To Them And To Myself. It Was Like I Had Been Born To Be A Vampire. The Idea Made Me Want To Laugh, But It Also Made Me Want To Sing. I Had Found My True Place In The World, The Place I Fit, The Place I Shined.

Nature Taking Its Course - Hunter And Prey, The Endless Circle Of Life And Death.

Yeah, I’ll Always Be Your Friend. No Matter What You Love.

You Want Me To Be All Doom And Gloom, Or Just Shut Up?

Sometimes Ideas Feel Like They Were Already There, And That You're Just Discovering Them.

Spider-man Is Such A Whiny Loser.

He Thinks Things Through Too Much.

Just Snow And Sapphire And Ink.

Que Quowle" -stay With Me Forever-

No Mistakes, I'd Promised Myself That I Would Make No Mistakes, No Matter How Minimal They Seemed. If I Held Her Hand, I Would Only Want More - Another Insignificant Touch, Another Move Closer To Her. I Could Feel That. A New Kind Of Desire Was Growing In Me, Working To Override My Self-control. No Mistakes.

I May Not Be A Human, But I Am A Man.

Just Because You Want Something To Be True Doesn’t Make It That Way.” -the Host

How Did Anyone Survive This World, With These Bodies Whose Memories Wouldn't Stay In The Past Where They Should? With The Emotions That Were So Strond I Couldn't Tell What I Felt Anymore?

After A Few Decades, Everyone You Know Will Be Dead. Problem Solved.

If You Throw A Frog In A Pot Of Boiling Water, It Will Hop Right Out. But If You Put That Frog In A Pot Of Tepid Water And Slowly Warm It, The Frog Doesn't Figure Out What Going On Until It's Too Late. Boiled Frog. It's Just A Metter Of Working By Slow Degrees.

She Just Keeps Saying "he’s Gone.

Darkness Is So Predictable.

Love Is Simply Where It Is.

Love, Life, Meaning...over.

Meaning Of Life

Dad, I Wrote. I'm With Alice. Edward's In Trouble. You Can Ground Me When I Get Back. I Know It's A Bad Time. So Sorry. Love You So Much. Bella.
