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?

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.

Even More, I Had Never Meant To Love Him. One Thing I Truly Knew - Knew It In The Pit Of My Stomach, In The Center Of My Bones, Knew It From The Crown Of My Head To The Soles Of My Feet, Knew It Deep In My Empty Chest - Was How Love Gave Someone The Power To Break You

I Was Much More Upset By The Situation With Jacob Than By The Possibility Of Being Eaten By A Bear.

Surely It Was A Good Way To Die, In The Place Of Someone Else, Someone I Loved.

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 Wanted Myself. I Wouldn't Let What Was Mine Be Destroyed.

She’s Just A Little Faint,” I Reassured Mrs. Hammond. “they’re Blood Typing In Biology.” She Nodded, Understanding Now. “there’s Always One.” I Stifled A Laugh. Trust Bella To Be That One.

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.

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

I Tried To Concentrate On The Angel's Voice Instead. "bella, Please! Bella, Listen To Me, Please, Please, Please, Bella, Please!" He Begged. Yes, I Wanted To Say. Anything. But I Couldn't Find My Lips. "carlisle!" The Angel Called, Agony In His Perfect Voice. "bella, Bella, No, Oh Please, No, No!" And The Angel Was Sobbing Tearless, Broken Sobs. The Angel Shouldn't Weep, It Was Wrong. I Tried To Find Him, To Tell Him Everything Was Fine, But The Water Was So Deep, It Was Pressing On Me, And I Couldn't Breathe.

Love, Life, Meaning...over.

Meaning Of Life

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.

Are You Still Faint From The Run? Or Was It My Kissing Expertise?

I Was Just Wondering Why You Stabbed Him. Not That I Object.

Twilight Edward

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.

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!

I'd Rather Die Than Be With Anyone But You.

How Can A Little Thing Be So Annoying?

I, The Soul Called Wanderer, Love You, Human Ian. And That Will Never Change, No Matter What I Might Become.

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

I’m Exactly Right For You, Bella. It Would Have Been Effortless For Us — Comfortable, Easy As Breathing. I Was The Natural Path Your Life Would Have Taken… If The World Was The Way It Was Supposed To Be, If There Were No Monsters And No Magic

I Would Always Love This Fragile Human Girl, For The Rest Of My Limitless Existence.

But Most Significant In This Tidal Wave Of Happiness Was The Surest Fact Of All: I Was With Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen

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

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

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

If You Don’t Send Edward Out,” Emmett—still Invisible In The Night—hissed Menacingly, “we’re Coming In After Him!” “go,” I Laughed. “before They Break My House.

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

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.

The Seeker Needed A Nice Long Lifetime Eating Sunshine.

I Have An Immature, Homer Simpson-like Tendency To Giggle When I Say The Words 'seminal Fluids' In Public.

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

I Felt Like - Like I Don't Know What. Like This Wasn't Real. Like I Was In Some Goth Version Of A Bad Sitcom. Instead Of Being The A/v Dweeb About To Ask The Head Cheerleader To The Prom, I Was The Finished-second-place Werewolf About To Ask The Vampire's Wife To Shack Up And Procreate. Nice. - Jacob

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

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?

You Still Owe Me A Yellow Porsche.

Ready To Be Humiliated, Wanda?" Wes Taunted. "you May Have Taken The Planet, But You're Losing This Game.

I Hear Voices In My Mind And You're Worried That You're The Freak,” He Laughed.

After A Few Minutes, He Asked, Real Quietly, If You Turned Into An Animal, Too. And I Said, ‘she Wishes She Was That Cool!

If This Is How You’re Going To React, I’ll Freak Out More Often.

If He'd Done Something To Harm Her, I Would Annihilate Him.

Your Scent Is Like A Drug To Me Like My Own Personal Brand Of Heroin.

He Wished He Hadn't Pulled Me From The Path Of Tyler's Van - There Was No Other Conclusion I Could Come To.

Don't Let Anyone Tell You That High School Is Supposed To Be Fun. High School Is To Be Endured. College Is Fun.

How Old Are You?” She Asked. My Answer Was Automatic And Ingrained. “seventeen.” “and How Long Have You Been Seventeen?” I Tried Not To Smile At The Patronizing Tone. “a While,” I Admitted. “okay,” She Said, Abruptly Enthusiastic. She Smiled Up At Me.

Like All Bullies, They’re Cowards Underneath The Swagger

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.

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

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.

If I Was Given The Choice Between Having The World Back And Having You, I Wouldn't Be Able To Give You Up. Not To Save Five Billion Lives.

Now, We'll Have To Hang Out Here Until We're Sure Jared's Really Gone And Can't Catch Us." He Grinned Conspiratorially. "then We'll Have Some Fun!" I Remembered That His Idea Of Fun Was Usually Along The Lines Of An Armed Standoff.

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.

You Can't Trust A Vampire, Trust Me

I Want To Stay With You." It Was Easier To Say In The Darkness, Knowing As I Spoke My Voice Would Betray Me, My Hopeless Addiction To Him.

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

You Could Run From Someone You Feared, You Could Try To Fight Someone You Hated. All My Reactions Were Geared Toward Those Kinds Of Killers – The Monsters, The Enemies. When You Loved The One Who Was Killing You, It Left You No Options. How Could You Run, How Could You Fight, When Doing So Would Hurt That Beloved One? If Your Life Was All You Had To Give Your Beloved, How Could You Not Give It? If It Was Someone You Truly Loved?

No Measure Of Time With You Will Be Long Enough, But We'll Start With Forever.

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

I'll Be Back So Soon You Won't Have Time To Miss Me. Look After My Heart I've Left It With You

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

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.

At Least I Died Trying. And I Won.i Never Gave Them Away. I Never Hurt Them. I Did My Best To Find Them. I Tried To Keep My Promise... I Die For Them.

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

Hard To Feel Confident When You’re Surrounded By Horse-sized Wolves. Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, P.745

Life Sucks, And Then You Die.

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.

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.

Strange World Isn't It?

What Happens When You Lose Your Heart's Desire?

I Flicked On The Light Beside My Bed, Waiting For My Breathing To Slow, Veins Full Of Adrenaline From The Realistic Dream. A New Dream, But In Essence So Much The Same As The Many Others That Had Plagued Me In The Past Months. No, Not A Dream. Surely A Memory. I Could Still Feel The Heat Of Jared's Lips On Mine. My Hands Reached Out Without My Permission, Searching Across The Rumpled Sheets, Looking For Something They Didn't Find. My Heart Ached When They Gave Up, Falling To The Bed Limp And Empty.

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

That Was The First Night I Dreamed Of Eward Cullen.

I Know You Think That I Have Some Kind Of Perfect, Unyielding Self-control, But That's Not Actually The Case. - Edward Cullen

My Mom Is Part Albino.

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.

Interceded? You Threw Me To The Sharks!

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

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

You Never Know How Much Time You'll Have.

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

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?

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.

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.

But Now You're Unhappy," He Pointed Out. "and?" I Challenged. "that Doesn't Seem Fair." He Shrugged, But His Eyes Were Still Intense. I Laughed Without Humour. "hasn't Anyone Told You? Life Isn't Fair." "i Believe I Have Heard That Somewhere Before," He Agreed Dryly.

Inspiration In Desperation.

Life And Love Go On.

Yes, You Are Exactly My Brand Of Heroin.

The Sun Was Hot On My Skin, Too Bright As It Bounced Off The White Concrete And Blinded Me. I Felt Dangerously Exposed. More Fiercely Than I Would Have Dreamed I Was Capable Of, I Wished For The Green, Protective Forest Of Forks . . . Of Home.

I Knew It Would Begin With The End, And The End Would Look Like Death To These Eyes. I Had Been Warned.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

You Are My Life. You're The Only Thing It Would Hurt To Lose.

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

I Couldn’t Get The Words Exactly Right; I Only Remembered Wishing That Jacob Were My Brother So That We Could Love Each Other Without Any Confusion Or Pain.

The Boy In The Pearl Gray Suit Could Have Been Jane's Twin. His Hair Was Darker, And His Lips Were Not As Full, But He Was Just As Lovely.

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

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

It Never Made Sense For You To Love Me.

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?

Real. Does That Make Me Imaginary?

Like A Stalker. An Obsessed Stalker. An Obsessed, Vampire Stalker

Go Jump Off A Cliff, Leah.

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.

It’s Not Like Love At First Sight, Really. It’s More Like… Gravity Moves. When You See Her, Suddenly It’s Not The Earth Holding You Here Anymore. She Does. And Nothing Matters More Than Her. And You Would Do Anything For Her, Be Anything For Her… You Become Whatever She Needs You To Be, Whether That’s A Protector, Or A Lover, Or A Friend, Or A Brother.

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

I Think Being A Teenager Is Such A Compelling Time Period In Your Life--it Gives You Some Of Your Worst Scars And Some Of Your Most Exhilarating Moments. It's A Fascinating Place; Old Enough To Feel Truly Adult, Old Enough To Make Decisions That Affect The Rest Of Your Life, Old Enough To Fall In Love, Yet, At The Same Time Too Young (in Most Cases) To Be Free To Make A Lot Of Those Decisions Without Someone Else's Approval.

Falling In Love

Look After My Heart - I've Left It With You.

Maybe You'll Get Lucky." I Said Bleakly, Lurching On My Feet. "maybe I'll Get Hit By A Truck On My Way Back.

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

May The Best Man Win That's About Right Pup

She Was Thinking What I Think She Was Thinking, Wasn't She?

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.

We Should Have Been Wiser; We Should Have Died Yesterday.

Well, I'm So Sorry That I Can't Be The Right Kind Of Monster For You, Bella.

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

He Didn't Ask What I Was Thinking, Which Was Out Of Character For Him. I Guessed That Meant That He Was Just As Nervous As I Suddenly Was.

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

Everything In My World Was About Him. What A Silly Thing To Expect.

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

Nice Girl Who Knew Cars. Wow. I Stared At Her Face Harder, Wishing I Knew How To Make It Work. C’mon, Jake – Imprint Already.

You Really Shouldn’t Do That To People," I Criticized. "it’s Hardly Fair." "do What?" "dazzle Them Like That – She’s Probably Hyperventilating In The Kitchen Right Now." He Seemed Confused. "oh Come On," I Said Dubiously. "you Have To Know The Effect You Have On People." He Tilted His Head To One Side, And His Eyes Were Curious. "i Dazzle People?" "you Haven’t Noticed? Do You Think Everybody Gets Their Way So Easily?" He Ignored My Questions. "do I Dazzle You?" "frequently," I Admitted.

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

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

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.

It Was Sort Of The Pattern To My Life - I'd Never Been Strong Enough To Deal With The Things Outside My Control, To Attack The Enemies Or Outrun Them. To Avoid The Pain. Always Human And Weak, The Only Thing I'd Ever Been Able To Do Was Keep Going. Endure. Survive.

It's Easier To Come Up With New Stories Than It Is To Finish The Ones You Already Have. I Think Every Author Would Feel That Way.

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.

She Sees Things — Things That Might Happen, Things That Are Coming. But It’s Very Subjective. The Future Isn’t Set In Stone. Things Change.

Try Not To Trip. We Don’t Have Time For A Concussion Today.

So, Bella, I Was Following Your Scent Through The Woods After I'd Left Your Room Where I Was Watching You Sleep...yes That Would Be Quite The Ice Breaker.

I Was Thinking, While I Was Running..." He Paused. "about Not Hitting The Trees, I Hope.

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

And, By The Way, I Adore You.... In Frightening, Dangerous Ways.

We Did Not Hope For The Same Things, But We All Hoped.

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

Hate Is A Passionate Emotion.

The Way You Move — You Orient Yourself Around Him Without Even Thinking About It. When He Moves, Even A Little Bit, You Adjust Your Position At The Same Time. Like Magnets… Or Gravity. You’re Like A… Satellite, Or Something.

I Came To Witness. I Stay To Fight.

I’m Glad I Came. I Didn’t Think I Would Be. But It’s Good To See You… One More Time. Not As Sad As I’d Thought It Would Be.

I Didn't Want To Be The Monster! I Didn't Want To Kill This Room Full Of Harmless Children! I Didn't Want To Lose Everything I'd Gained In A Lifetime Of Sacrifice And Denial!

Cerulean Left. I Wondered If She Was From Flower Planet. Blue Flowers Were Rare - One Might Take A Name From That.

Do You Ever Think That Your Life Might Be Easier If You Weren't In Love With Me?" — Edward Cullen

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

So, Instead Of Panicking, I Closed My Eyes And Spent The Twenty Minutes' Drive With Edward. I Imagined That I Had Stayed At The Airport To Meet Edward. I Visualized How I Would Stand On My Toes, The Sooner To See His Face. How Quickly, How Gracefully He Would Move Through The Crowds Of People Separating Us. And Then I Would Run To Close Those Last Few Feet Between Us - Reckless As Always - And I Would Be In His Marble Arms, Finally Safe.

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

I Used To Dream About Him All The Time," Sunny Whispered To Me. "every Night. I Kept Hoping The Seekers Would Find Him; I Missed Him So Much...when I Saw Him, I Thought It Was The Old Dream Again.

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.

This Isn't About Them, He Snarled At Me. This Is About Bella. She Has Never Been The One For You, She Had Never Chosen You, But You Continue To Destroy Your Life For Her!

Now You Know," I Said Lightly, And Shrugged. "no One's Ever Loved Anyone As Much As I Love You.

So, Did You Stab Edward Cullen With A Pencil Or What? I've Never Seen Him Act Like That.

With Our Rarely Changing Temperaments Strong Emotions Can Alter Us In Permanent Ways. But He Said I Did Not Need To Worry About That Part – You Had Already Altered Me So Completely.

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.

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.

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

Sometimes You Have To Learn To Love What's Good For You.

The Only Reason I Left Was To Protect You.

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.

I Honestly Have No Idea How To Live Without You.

And I Started To Cry Again, Realizing That It Must Be Changing Him, Too, This Man Who Was Kind Enough To Be A Soul But Strong As Only A Human Could Be.

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.

Bella, It's Not My Fault If You Are Exceptionally Unobservant.

Twilight Edward

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.

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

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

Only You Could Be More Important Than What I Wanted...what I Needed. What I Want And What I Need Is To Be With You, And I Know I'll Never Be Strong Enough To Leave Again.

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

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

Don't Worry?! You Sliced Your Hand Open!

The Story Was A Sleeping Girl In A Narrow Bed Dark Hair Thick And Wild And Twisted Like Seaweed Across The Pillow... Bella's Lullaby

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

There’s Something… Strange About The Way You Two Are Together. The Way He Watches You — It’s So… Protective. Like He’s About To Throw Himself In Front Of A Bullet To Save You Or Something.

I Was Like A Lost Moon―my Planet Destroyed In Some Cataclysmic, Disaster-movie Scenario Of Desolation―that Continued, Nevertheless, To Circle In A Tight Little Orbit Around The Empty Space Left Behind, Ignoring The Laws Of Gravity.

What If I'm Not A Superhero. What If I'm The Bad Guy?

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

It Will Be As If I'd Never Existed, He'd Promised Me. I Felt The Smooth Wooden Floor Beneath My Knees, And Then The Palms Of My Hands, And Then It Was Pressed Against The Skin Of My Cheek. I Hoped That I Was Fainting, But, To My Disappointment, I Didn't Lose Consciousness. The Waves Of Pain That Had Only Lapped At Me Before Now Reared High Up And Washed Over My Head, Pulling Me Under. I Did Not Resurface.

The Waves Of Pain That Had Only Lapped At Me Before Now Reared High Up And Washed Over My Head, Pulling Me Under. I Did Not Resurface.

Would You Please Tell Me What You Are Thinking? Before I Go Mad?

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.

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

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

Fire And Ice, Somehow Existing Together Without Destroying Each Other. More Proof That I Belonged With Him.

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.

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

His Skin Was A Pretty Colour, It Made Me Jealous. Jacob Noticed My Scrutiny. What?" He Asked, Suddenly Self-conscious. "nothing. I Just Hadn't Realised Before. Did You Know, You're Sort Of Beautiful?" Once The Words Slipped Out, I Worried That He Might Take My Implusive Observation The Wrong Way. But Jacob Rolled His Eyes.
