Don't take too long, Mrs. Cullen

I know it's going to be bad for you, Jacob. I understand that-maybe better than you think. I don't like her, but… she's your Sam. She's everything you want and everything you can't have.

My old mind hadn't been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I'd brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle's compassion and Esme's devotion. 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. I could live with that.

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.

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.

Everything in my world was about him. What a silly thing to expect.

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.

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.

You are safe inside your mind. No one can reach you there.

I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence.

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 had a secret that I was bound to protect but a secret that i was not to share. A secert that suddenly he knew all about.

I'd been broken beyond repair.

Romeo wouldn't change his mind. That's why people still remembered his name, always twined with hers

The smile broke across his face the way the sunrise set the clouds on fire...

You haven't changed at all. I expected a perceptible difference, but here you are, red-faced just like always.

I knew the human exaggeration for sorrow-a broken heart.

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.

Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder

I don't like to lie - so there'd better be a good reason why I'm doing it.

I'm afraid you're going to have to make a choice.

No one could be still like Edward.

You scared me for a minute there. I thought Newton was dragging your dead body off to bury it in the woods.

Edward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan one. To speak the word was to make it final. It would be the same as typing the words The End on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our goodbyes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching. Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated.

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.
