Stephenie Meyer’s “Eclipse” Quotes (92 Quotes)

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.

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.

The morning brought with it, if not a brighter outlook, at least a measure of control, some acceptance. Instinctively, I knew that the new tear in my heart would always ache. That was just going to be a part of me now.

As long as she wants me, I'm here.

I'm a pro at weird.-Bella Swan

Do you understand that, mongrel?

Holding grudges is not one of your many talents.

I'm not like a car Jacob, now matter how you try to fix me, I'll never run right.

Mike and I both stared at Edward with our mouths hanging open.

This is making me sick, Jacob. Can you imagine what this feels like to me? I don't even like Bella Swan. And you've got me grieving over this leech-lover like I'm in love with her, too.
