Whatever End Found Us, It Would Not Find Us Separated. -- Bella Cullen

Her Scent Blazed In My Throat And I Was Glad. It Was A Pain That Meant She Was Alive. As Long As I Burned, She Was Safe.

Isabella Swan?” He Looked Up At Me Through His Impossibly Long Lashes, His Golden Eyes Soft But, Somehow, Still Scorching. “i Promise To Love You Forever—every Single Day Of Forever. Will You Marry Me?” There Were Many Things I Wanted To Say, Some Of Them Not Nice At All, And Others More Disgustingly Gooey And Romantic Than He Probably Dreamed I Was Capable Of. Rather Than Embarrass Myself With Either, I Whispered, “yes.” “thank You,” He Said Simply. He Took My Left Hand And Kissed Each Of My Fingertips Before He Kissed The Ring That Was Now Mine.

Believe Me, I Wanted To Say. I've Tried. Oh, And Also, I'm Wretchedly In Love With You. Keep It Light.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Um, Bella? You've Got A Huge Cut On Your Forehead, And It's Gushing Blood," He Informed Me. I Clapped My Hand Over My Head. Sure Enough, It Was Wet And Sticky. I Could Smell Nothing But The Damp Moss On My Face, And That Held Off The Nausea. Oh, I'm So Sorry, Jacob." I Pushed Hard Against The Gash, As If I Could Force The Blood Back Inside My Head. Why Are You Apologizing For Bleeding?" He Wondered As He Wrapped A Long Arm Around My Waist And And Pulled Me To My Feet.

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

"you Are The Noblest, Purest Creature I've Ever Met. The Universe Will Be A Darker Place Without You," He Whispered.

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

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.

I Want You, And I Want You Forever. One Lifetime Is Simply Not Enough For Me.

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.

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

I Wanted Him Like I Wanted Air To Breathe. Not A Choice- A Necessity.

Over My Pile Of Ashes

And Then I Saw The Way He Looked At Her... Like He Was A Blind Man, Seeing The Sun For The Very First Time.

I Stared Because Their Faces, So Different, So Similar, Were All Devastatingly, Inhumanly Beautiful.

Love Of My Life

I'll Meet You At The Altar" "i'll Be The One In White!

You Are The Most Beautiful Thing In My World.

You're Not Like Anyone I've Ever Known. You Fascinate Me.

Twilight Edward

In My Head, Carlisle’s Kind Eyes Did Not Judge Me. I Knew That He Would Forgive Me For This Horrible Act That I Would Do. Because He Loved Me. Because He Thought I Was Better Than I Was. And He Would Still Love Me, Even As I Now Proved Him Wrong.

I, The Soul Named Wanderer, Love You, Human Ian And That Will Never Change No Matter What I Might Become. If I Were A Dolphin Or A Bear Or A Flower, It Wouldn't Matter. I Would Always Love You, Always Remember You. You Will Be My Only Partner." - Wanda, The Host

Sometimes, Loyalty Gets In The Way Of What You Want To Do. Sometimes, It’s Not Your Secret To Tell.

I Could See How Easy It Would Be To Fall Into Loving Bella. It Would Be Exactly Like Falling: Effortless. Not Letting Myself Love Her Was The Opposite Of Falling—it Was Pulling Myself Up A Cliff-face, Hand Over Hand, The Task As Grueling As If I Had No More Than Mortal Strength.

Carlisle Has A Theory...he Believes That We All Bring Something Of Our Strongest Human Traits With Us Into The Next Life, Where They Are Intensified - Like Our Minds, And Our Senses.

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.

Of Course, Then You Nearly Crushed To Death In Front Of My Eyes. Later I Thought Of A Perfectly Good Excuse For Why I Acted At That Moment - Because If I Hadn't Saved You, If Your Blood Had Been Spilled There In Front Of Me, I Don't Think I Could Have Stopped Myself From Exposing Us For What We Are. But I Only Thought Of That Excuse Later. At The Time, All I Could Think Was, 'not Her.

The Kiss Began Much The Same As Usual--edward Was As Careful As Ever, And My Heart Began To Overreact Like It Always Did. And Then Something Seemed To Change. Suddenly His Lips Became Much More Urgent, His Free Hand Twisted Into My Hair And Held My Face Securely To His. And Though I Was Clearly Beginning To Cross His Cautious Lines, For Once He Didn't Stop Me. His Body Was Cold Through The Thin Quilt, But I Crushed Myself Against Him Eagerly.

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.

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.

Humans Were Always Surprising Me.

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 Thought About That For A Minute - About What I Wanted.

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

I Think Ian Likes You Too Much

Without The Existence Of The Opposite, The Concept Has No Meaning.

I Held You In My Hands, Wanderer, And You Were Beautiful.

I Can Do This, I Lied To Myself Feebly. No One Was Going To Bite Me.

Um," Doc Said In A Mild Voice, "medically Speaking, I'm Not Sure That Was The Most Helpful Thing For His Condition." "but I Feel Better," Jared Answered, Sullen. Doc Smiled The Tiniest Smile. "well, Maybe A Few More Minutes Of Unconsciousness Won't Kill Him.

When Life Offers You A Dream So Far Beyond Any Of Your Expectations, It’s Not Reasonable To Grieve When It Comes To An End.

With The Host, I Think The Actors Could Be Really Big Names. That Would Be Cool. Id Love To See Robert Redford Put On A Beard And Be Jeb; He Would Be Amazing... Matt Damon Has Some Very Jared-esque Qualities, And Then Casey Affleck As Ian And Ben Affleck As Kyle. Imagine The Interplay.

Leah: "that Is Easily The Freakin’ Grossest Thing I’ve Ever Heard In My Life. Yuck. If There Was Anything In My Stomach, It Would Be Coming Back." Seth: "they Are Vampires, I Guess. I Mean, It Makes Sense, And If It Helps Bella, It’s A Good Thing, Right?" Leah And Jake Stare At Seth. Seth: "what?" Leah: "mom Dropped Him A Lot When He Was A Baby." Jake: "on His Head Apparently." Leah: "he Used To Gnaw On The Crib Bars, Too." Jake: "lead Paint?" Leah: "looks Like It." Seth: "funny. Why Don’t You Two Shut Up And Sleep?

I'd Really Like Having A Couple Days Of Being A Rock Star, Although I'd Rather Be A Backup - Like Maybe The Drummer For Muse It Would Also Be Fun To Be Gorgeous, Like Be Charlize Theron, Just For A Couple Of Days.

That Maybe You Should Make The Most Of What Time You Have? That You Shouldlive While You’re Alive?

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.

His Gift Is Slower Than Jane's. It Creeps. It Will Touch Us In A Few Seconds.

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.

I'd Rather Know What You're Thinking - Even If What You're Thinking Is Insane.

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.

Be Happy That After Living So Many Lives, I Finally Found Something To Die For

She Looked Around Herself, Disoriented, Like She’d Forgotten We Were At Lunch. Like She’d Forgotten We Were Even At School-surprised That We Were Not Alone In Some Private Place. I Understood That Feeling Exactly. It Was Hard To Remember The Rest Of The World When I Was With Her.

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

May The Best Man Win That's About Right Pup

Don't Be Afraid," I Murmured. "we Belong Together.

Is It Really Sick For Me To Be Happy Right Now?" I Asked. My Voice Broke Twice. He Didn't Push Me Away. He Pulled Me Tight Against His Ice-hard Chest, So Tight It Was Hard To Breathe, Even With My Lungs Securely Intact. "i Know Exactly What You Mean," He Whispered. "but We Have Lot Of Reasons To Be Happy. For One, We're Alive." "yes," I Agreed. "that's A Good One." "and Together," He Breathed. His Breath Was So Sweet It Made My Head Swim.

Let Her See Me Clearly.

I Know You're Frustrated That He's Keeping You Locked Up Like This, But Don't Give Him Too Bad A Time When He Gets Back. He Loves You More Than You Know. It Terrifies Him To Be Away From You.

Maybe It's Because I'm A Little Naive, But I Do Like To Think That There Aren't Really Very Many Truly Bad People In The World. I Think That Everybody Has Their Reasons For What They Do, And If You Really Look Through Their Eyes, You Could Probably Understand Them.

Ew. Someone Put The Dog Out, "rosalie Murmured Wrinkling Her Nose. Have You Herd This One, Psycho? How Do A Blond's Brain Cells Die?" She Didn't Say Anything. Well?" I Asked."do You Know The Punch Line Or Not?" She Looked Pointedly At The Tv And Ignored Me. Has She Heard It?" I Asked Edward. No." He Answered. Awesome. So You'll Enjoy This, Bloodsucker--a Blond's Brain Cells Die Alone.

I Know Love And Lust Don't Always Keep The Same Company.

What Do I Look Like? The Wizard Of Oz? You Need A Brain? You Need A Heart? Go Ahead, Take Mine. Take Everything I Have.

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

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

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.

He Was Right – She Was Beating Herself Up About Hurting His Feelings. The Girl Was A Classic Martyr. She’d Totally Been Born In The Wrong Century. She Should Have Lived Back When She Could Have Gotten Herself Fed To Some Lions For A Good Cause.

The Way Everyone Looked At Me Made Me Uncomfortable. Even Edward. It Was Like I Had Grown A Hundred Feet During The Course Of The Morning. I Tried To Ignore The Impressed Looks, Mostly Keeping My Eyes On Nessie’s Sleeping Face And Jacob’s Unchanged Expression. I Would Always Be Just Bella To Him, And That Was A Relief. Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, P.747

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.

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

I Have To Step Out For A Second. Don’t Do Anything Funny While I’m Gone.

The Bond Forged Between Us Was Not One That Could Be Broken By Absence, Distance, Or Time. And No Matter How Much More Special Or Beautiful Or Brilliant Or Perfect Than Me He Might Be, He Was As Irreversibly Altered As I Was. As I Would Always Belong To Him, So Would He Always Be Mine.

Sister, They Send You Out For One And You Bring Back Two... And A Half. Such A Clever Girl.

He Never Leaves, Does He?

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

Good Luck, Little Wanderer, Good Luck. How I Wish You Didn't Need It.

I Wondered How Long It Could Last. Maybe Someday, Years From Now.if The Pain Would Decrease To The Point Where I Could Bear It.i Would Be Able To Look Back On Those Few Short Months That Would Always Be The Best Of My Life.

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

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.

Too Young,too Young,she Chanted To Herself. Wrong,of Course. I Was Older Than Her Grandfather But According To My Driver's License,she Was Right.

I've Seen Little Pieces Of 'interview With A Vampire' When It Was On Tv, But I Kind Of Always Go Yuck! I Don't Watch R-rated Movies, So That Really Cuts Down On A Lot Of The Horror.

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?

You Can't Trust A Vampire, Trust Me

It's A Little Dense, Don't You Think, To Antagonize The Strongest Vampire In The House?' Emmett Threw His Head Back And Snorted. 'please!' [...] I Took A Deep Breath. 'emmett, How Do You Feel About A Little Bet?' He Was On His Feet At Once. 'awesome. Bring It.

And So The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb…" He Murmured. I Looked Away, Hiding My Eyes As I Thrilled To The Word. "what A Stupid Lamb," I Sighed. "what A Sick, Masochistic Lion.

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

There's No Good Story Without Romance.

Darkness Is So Predictable.

He Was Silent For A Moment, Staring Out The Window Into The Rain; I Imagined He Was Contemplating The Fact That His Family's Presence Was Turning The Locals Into Giant Dogs.

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

I Love You More Than Anything In The World Combined.

Happy Mothers Day

I Love You More

I'd Loved In So Many Bodies, But Never One I Loved Like This. Never One That I Craved In This Way. Of Course, This Would Be The One I'd Have To Give Up. The Irony Made Me Laugh, And I Concentrated On The Feel Of The Air That Popped In Little Bubbles From My Chest And Up Through My Throat. 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? I Couldn't Remember One.

I Want To Be A Monster Too

Is My Mom All Right?" "she's Perfectly Fine. Don't Worry, Bella, I Have No Quarrel With Her. Unless You Didn't Come Alone, Of Course." Light, Amused. "i'm Alone." I'd Never Been More Alone In My Entire Life.

Just Snow And Sapphire And Ink.

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.

The Bottom Line Is That You Have To Choose Who You Are Going To Commit To-- That's The Foundation Of True Love, Not The Lack Of Other Options

It's Not The End. It's The Beginning.

Listen Up, Wanda. I Know Exactly What You Don't Want To Be. But We're Human, And We're Selfish, And We Don't Always Do The Right Thing. We Aren't Going To Let You Go. Deal With It.

A Hundred Yards Away, Mike Newton Was Lowering Bella's Limp Body To The Sidewalk. She Slumped Unresponsively Against The Wet Concrete, Her Skin Chalky As A Corpse. I Almost Took The Door Off The Car.

He Was My Best Friend. I Would Always Love Him, And It Would Never, Ever Be Enough.

I Didn't Want The Life That Made Sense. Not If The Chaos Meant I Could Have Bella.

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

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?" Jacob Black New Moon

You Nickednamed My Daughter After The Loch Ness Monster?

Why Can You Believe The Lie, But Not The Truth?

I Hate Myself For Liking You.

I Always Write Things That Entertain Me, And One Of The Things That I Find Really Enjoyable To Explore Is The Idea Of Love. I Like Looking At My Own Life And My Friends And Family And How Love Changes Who You Are. It Fascinates Me.

Family And Friends

After All The Thousand Times I’ve Told You I Love You, How Could You Let One Word Break Your Faith In Me?...i Could See It In Your Eyes, That You Honestly Believed That I Didn’t Want You Anymore. The Most Absurd, Ridiculous Concept—as If There Were Any Way That I Could Exist Without Needing You!

As Long As You Like Me The Best. And You Think I’m Good-looking—sort Of. I’m Prepared To Be Annoyingly Persistent.

I Promise That This Will Be The Last Time You’ll See Me. I Won’t Come Back. I Won’t Put You Through Anything Like This Again. You Can Go On With Your Life Without Any More Interference From Me. It Will Be As If I’d Never Existed.

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.

Bears," I Muttered, Adding A New Fear To The Pile. "that Would Be Just Her Luck, Wouldn't It? Stray Bear In Town. Of Course It Would Head Straight For Bella.

I’m Afraid You’re Going To Have To Make A Choice.

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.

Alice Was Scrutinizing My Boring Jeans-and-a-t-shirt Outfit In A Way That Made Me Self-conscious. Probably Plotting Another Makeover. I Sighed. My Indifferent Attitude To Fashion Was A Constant Thorn In Her Side. If I'd Allow It, She'd Love To Dress Me Everyday―perhaps Several Times A Day―like Some Oversized Three-dimensional Paper Doll.

I’m Just Going To Do What I Want Now, And Let The Chips Fall Where They May.

My Money's On The Big Indian,' Someone Was Saying. I Peeked Up To See That Tyler, Mike, Austin And Ben Had There Heads Bent Together, Deep In Conversation. 'yeah,' Mike Whispered. 'did You See The Size Of That Jacob Kid? I Think He Could Take Cullen Down.' Mike Seemed Pleased By The Idea.

But I Love You, “ He Whispered. “doesn't That Matter?” “of Course It Matters. So Much. Can't You See? That Only Makes It More… Necessary.” His Eyes Flashed Open. “is It So Unbearable To Have Me Love You? Is That It? I Can Keep My Mouth Shut, Wanda. I Won't Say It Again. You Can Be With Jared, If That's What You Want. Just Stay.

Love Gave Someone The Power To Break You. I'd Been Broken Beyond Repair.

Kiss Me, Jacob. Kiss Me, And Then Come Back.

I Grinned At Him, Feeling More Enthusiastic About My Plan Now That He Was On Board. Rosalie Was A Pain, But I Would Always Owe Her One For Choosing Emmett; No One Had A Better Brother Than Mine.

How Did People Do This - Swallow All Their Fears And Trust Someone Else So Implicitly With Every Imperfection And Fear They Had.

I Thought I'd Explained It Clearly Before. Bella, I Can't Live In A World Where You Don't Exist.

...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.

Yes, Heaven Forbid I Not Be Protected From Tanks.

He Sighed. "the Clouds I Can Handle. But I Can't Fight With An Eclipse.

Bella: "should I Be Afraid?" Edward: "terrified."

I’m A Little Worried About Edward… Can Vampires Go Into Shock? Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 7, P.129

Sometimes, Fact Mixed With Fiction So Thoroughly That, Though No Lies Were Told, It Was Hard To Remember What Was Strictly True.

And Then... As You Were Sleeping, You Said My Name. You Spoke So Clearly, At First I Thought You'd Woken. But You Rolled Over Restlessly And Mumbled My Name Once More, And Sighed. The Feeling That Coursed Through Me Then Was Unnerving, Staggering. And I Knew I Couldn't Ignore You Any Longer.

I Stared Into Jared's Eyes, And The Strangest Thing Happened. All The Melting And Melding I Had Just Been Through Was Shoved Aside, Into The Smallest Part Of My Body, The Little Corner That I Took Up Physically. The Rest Of Me Yearned Toward Jared With The Same Desperate, Half-crazed Hunger I'd Felt Since The First Time I'd Seen Him Here. This Body Barely Belonged To Me Or To Melanie-it Belonged To Him.

Edward Stretched Out His Arm, His Hand Curled Into A Fist. Seth Grinned, Revealing The Long Row Of Dagger Teeth, And Bumped His Nose Against Edward's Hand. "nice Teamwork," Edward Murmured.

Once People Start Throwing Wet Stuff, I Go Inside.

I Struggled To Find The Words To Name The Feelings That Flooded Through Me, But I Had No Words Strong Enough To Hold Them. For A Long Moment, I Drowned In Them. When I Surfaced, I Was Not The Same Man I Had Been. 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?

I Had Enough Trouble Not Falling Down When The Ground Was Dry; It Might Be Safer For Me To Go Back To Bed Now.

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.

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.

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

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?

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.

When He Left, You Spent All Your Energy Holding On To Him. You Could Be Happy If You Let Go.

I Picture Our Little Canyon Abandoned, As It Must Be Forever Now. Or If Not Abandoned, A Tomb.
