Alchemist quotes

It was the pure language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe need none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only women in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than anything in the world.
The Alchemist
Santiago meets Fatima.

And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have on meaning.
The Alchemist
Santiago meets Fatima.

He knew that his love for her would enable him to discover every treasure in the world.
The Alchemist

If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day.
Fatima to Santiago.

When you are in love, things make even more sense, he thought.

Santiago.

The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances.
The Alchemist
The seer to the camel driver.

Everything has been written by the same hand.
The Alchemist
Santiago to the alchemist, remembering the camel driver's words.

Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the Language of the World.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago, echoing the words of the old king.

The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

Life attracts life.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love … the love that speaks the language of the world.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
The Alchemist
Fatima to Santiago.

Don't think about what you've left behind.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

The Alchemist
To Santiago.

Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them.
The Alchemist
Santiago's heart tells him this.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

Every search begins with beginner's luck and ends with the victor's being severely tested.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.
The Alchemist
The alchemist to Santiago.

The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
The Alchemist

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
The Alchemist
Santiago thinking.

Dreams are the language of God.
The Alchemist
Old woman to Santiago.

It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.
The Alchemist
Old woman to Santiago.

God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.
The Alchemist
Old king to Santiago.

Never stop dreaming. Follow the omens.
The Alchemist
Santiago recalls what old king had said.

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
The Alchemist

Quotes from:PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by : Jane Austen

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
--Chapter 5


Good opinion once lost, is lost forever.
--Chapter 11


Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
--Chapter 17


The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
--Chapter 24

Twilight Quotes

I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.

Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510

Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.519

He’s very intense about you… and very careful. I feel like I don’t really understand your relationship. Like there’s some secret I’m missing…
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67

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.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.68

Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.77

Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.81

There’s something about Edward. He’s always so… confident. I have a feeling he can take care of himself.

I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95

Haven’t you noticed yet, Bella, that Edward is just the teeniest bit prone to overreaction?
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93

So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93

The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent!
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.104

I love him. Not because he’s beautiful or because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.110

He really hates it when I do things he considers… risky.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.115

Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.117

Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.118

You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119

Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119

Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119

So, did you want to hear about Sam, or did you want to scream at me some more for things that are out of my control?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121

I’m a pro at weird.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121

There are no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.123

It’s awful. No privacy, no secrets. Everything you’re ashamed of, laid out for everyone to see.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.125

Edward’s never in my head. He only wishes.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.126

You aren’t exactly the best judge of what is or isn’t dangerous.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 6, p.141

You are in trouble. Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 6, p.149

This hostage stuff is fun.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 6, p.150

Porsches as bribes and king-sized beds in houses where nobody slept — it was beyond irritating.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 6, p.151

If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now.
Rosalie Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 7, p.154

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.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.176

We can’t all be freakishly strong.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.177

But I’ll never see anyone else, Bella. I only see you. Even when I close my eyes and try to see something else. Ask Quil or Embry. It drives them all crazy.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.177

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.186

I like danger.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.188

I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days — and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.188

I don’t mind if you want to give me the wrong impression again.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.188

I go a little berserk when I try to leave you. I don’t think I’ll go so far again. It’s not worth it.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.189

You can hold me hostage any time you want.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.189

Where did all this tolerance come from?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.190

If you’re going to have a lapse in control, I can think of a better place for it.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

Must I always be the responsible one?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

Let me be in charge of responsibility for a few minutes… or hours.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.192

You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.195

If Jacob preferred me dead, then maybe he should get used to the silence.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 9, p.197

If you two are having a fight… well, don’t let me interrupt.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 9, p.201

Holding grudges is not one of your many talents.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 9, p.209

I figured if I played nice, I’d get more time with you.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 11, p.261

Besides… the more time I spend with you, the more human emotions seem comprehensible to me. I’m discovering that I can sympathize with Heathcliff in ways I didn’t think possible before.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 11, p.265

Edward is making me do this. But I did foresee that you would be more difficult if I surprised you.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.267

Don’t be a baby about this. No tantrums.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.267

I’ll be there. And I’ll hate every minute of it. Promise.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.268

How can someone so tiny by so annoying?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.268

I felt like someone had kicked my legs out from under me. The weeks of stress, of worry… somehow in the middle of all my obsessing over the time, my time had disappeared. My space for sorting through it all, for making plans, had vanished. I was out of time.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.269

I knew exactly what I wanted, but I was suddenly terrified of getting it.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.269

Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.270

Not one of us had a choice. You’ve seen what it’s done… to Rosalie especially. We’ve all struggled, trying to reconcile ourselves with something we had no control over. I won’t let it be that way for you. You will have a choice.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.271

You aren’t going through with this because a sword is hanging over your head. We will take care of the problems, and I will take care of you. When we’re through it, and there is nothing forcing your hand, then you can decide to join me, if you still want to. But not because you’re afraid. You won’t be forced into this.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.271

It’s the thought that counts. I ought to know.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.272

You really do want to keep me, no matter how I turn out?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.273

And the sound of your heart. It’s the most significant sound in my world.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.274

You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.274

Edward, there’s no point to forever without you. I wouldn’t want one day without you.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.276

It’s not easy to ignore someone when he’s shouting.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.319

I’m in love with you, Bella. Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don’t feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.327

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.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.329

You can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — or not at all.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.329

I’m not going to kill you now, because it would upset Bella.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.340

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?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.340

I’ll be fighting for her, too. You should know that. I’m not taking anything for granted, and I’ll be fighting twice as hard as you will.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341

She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341

Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.347

No matter what side I’m on, if someone kisses you without your permission, you should be able to make your feelings clear without hurting yourself.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.362

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 Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.363

You’re very perceptive today. It’s impressive.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 18, p.389

Prepare yourselves — they’ve been holding out on us.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 18, p.391

I’ll try not to break anything.
Emmett Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 18, p.394

You truly are one frightening little monster.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 18, p.396

You’re more important than everyone else. And you’ve given me you. That’s already more than I deserve, and anything else you give me just throws us more out of balance.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.413

The way you regard me is ludicrous.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.413

The imprinting compulsion is one of the strangest things I’ve ever witnessed in my life, and I’ve seen some strange things.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.418

The pack mind is mesmerizing. All thinking together and then separately at the same time. There’s so much to read!
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.419

Never be afraid to tell me how you feel, Bella. If this is what you need… You are my first priority.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422

You gave me two alternatives that you could live with, and I chose the one that I could live with. That’s how compromise is supposed to work.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422

Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422
Edward is such a grouch when he doesn’t get his way.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.423

I’m the only one who has permission to hold you hostage, remember?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.427
He thinks my translations leave something to be desired. What he actually thought was, ‘That’s really stupid. What is there to be worried about?’ I edited, because I thought it was rude.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.430

Edward had requested that I relax, and I was going to do my best.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.435

But I thought it was a good representation. It’s hard and cold. And it throws rainbows in the sunlight.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439

My heart is just as silent. And it, too, is yours.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439

I leaned into him, ducking my head under his arm and cuddling into his side. It probably felt similar to snuggling with Michelangelo’s David, except that this perfect marble creature wrapped his arms around me to pull me closer.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439

Listen to your heart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are you all right?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.440

I’ve already made the largest concession by far and away — I’ve agreed to take your life away against my better judgment. And that ought to entitle me to a few compromises on your part.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.440

Tell me what you want, and you can have it.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.442

Do you have any idea how painful it is, trying to refuse you when you plead with me this way?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.448

There isn’t much that’s traditional about you and me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.451

It’s not like you didn’t know you were going to win in the end. You always win.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.452

Vampire rules aren’t enough for you? You want to worry about the human ones too?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.453

Yes, but you’re such a bad liar that it doesn’t really count. Nobody believes you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454

You are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.457

The urge to fight must be a defining characteristic of the Y chromosome. They were all the same.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.463

You know, Edward, as a brother, you are sometimes a disappointment.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.467

Bunch of vampires trying to kill you. The usual.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.474

I thought you were supposed to be the forgiving one, and I was the grudge-holder.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.475

Either you’re lying, or you are the stubbornest person alive.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.476

Some people will go to any lengths to delude themselves.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.476

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.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.503

I can be noble, Bella. I’m not going to make you choose between us. Just be happy, and you can have whatever part of me you want, or none at all, if that’s better. Don’t let any debt you feel you owe me influence your decision.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 24, p.534

I’m fine. I’m okay. I’m just. Freaking out. Give me. A minute.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.557

You know that you nearly gave me a heart attack? Not the easiest thing to do, that.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.559

This one seems to bring out bizarrely strong reactions in our kind.
Jane, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.576

Play your role first, Bella, and then you can do what you want second. Part of being a Cullen is being meticulously responsible.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.581

It might be different for you. I’ve never seen anyone go through this who’s chosen it beforehand. It should be interesting to see how that affects you.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.583

You are safe inside your mind. No one can reach you there. It’s no wonder that Aro was so curious about your future abilities.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.584

Two futures, two soul mates… too much for any one person.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.599

The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.600

I’ll always be waiting in the wings, Bella. You’ll always have that spare option if you want it.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.602

I probably won’t think she’s good enough for you. I wonder how jealous I’ll be.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 26, p.603

Sometimes, there isn’t any way to compromise.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.607

You don’t fight fair.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.620

I’d hate to shatter the dream world you live in — the one where the sun is orbiting the place where you stand — so I won’t tell you how little I care what your problem is. Go. Away.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Epilogue, p.622

I’d had more than my fair share of near-death experiences; it wasn’t something you ever really got used to.
Bella Swan, Breaking Dawn, Book One Preface, p.1

Kind is my middle name.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.58

Can I cut in?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.58

I can do anything I want! Butt out!
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.65

You’re awfully small to be so hugely irritating.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.71

Fire and ice, somehow existing together without destroying each other. More proof that I belonged with him.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.87

Do not say the word fine. If you value my sanity, do not say that you are fine.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.90

You seem to be extraordinarily unobservant when your attention is otherwise involved.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.109

If I don’t have a better sense of equilibrium in my next life, I’m demanding a refund.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.110

Ugh. Reeking vampires.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.169

If there was such a thing as a safe vampire, it was the strangely gentle leader.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.170

I’m not ready for you to kill me yet, Jacob Black. You’ll have to have a little patience.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.176

Patience isn’t my specialty.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.176

Make Bella see sense? What universe do you live in?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.182

Did you ever notice that she’s exactly as strong as a normal hundred-and-ten-pound human girl? How stupid are you vamps? Hold her down and knock her out with drugs.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.178

The moment Bella’s heart stops beating, I will be begging for you to kill me.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.183

I’m not going to lie, Bells. You’re hideous.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.187

Did you know that ‘I told you so’ has a brother, Jacob? His name is ‘Shut the hell up.’
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.188

To talk some sense into you. There’s a battle that’s lost before it starts.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.188

If you think that imprinting could ever make sense of this insanity… Do you really think that just because I might someday imprint on some stranger it would make this right? Tell me what the point was then, Bella! What was the point of me loving you? What was the point of you loving him? When you die, how is that ever right again? What’s the point to all the pain? Mine, yours, his! You’ll kill him, too, not that I care about that. So what was the point of your twisted love story, in the end? If there is any sense, please show me, Bella, because I don’t see it.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.189

You’re dying for nothing, Bella! Nothing!
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.190

I took her face in my hand. I didn’t have to remind myself to be gentle. Everything about her screamed breakable.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.190

Emergency vampirization.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

Carlisle only changed them because it was that or death. He doesn’t end lives, he saves them.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

I realized I needed her to stay alive, in some form. In any form.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

Shut up, Bella. You can spout this crap to your bloodsucker, but you’re not fooling me.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.193

There was no point. I would never be able to save her from herself. I’d never been able to do that.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.194

Why do you always have to love the wrong things, Bella?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.197

I didn’t follow you because I was after a promotion.
Seth Clearwater, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 11, p.214

Stop being so… optimistic. It’s getting on my nerves.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 11, p.215

You want me to be all doom and gloom, or just shut up?
Seth Clearwater, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 11, p.215
Don’t blame me for this one. Your vampire was just picking snide comments out of my head.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.245

You’re scared of Leah, but you’re best buds with the psychopath blonde?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.247

She understands that you’re gonna die and she doesn’t care, s’long as she gets her mutant spawn out of the deal.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.247

Stop being a jerk, Jacob.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.247

You say that like it’s possible.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.247

She glared at Edward’s hand like she might take a snap at it. I wished she would. I bet Edward wouldn’t take that sitting down, and I’d love to see Blondie lose a limb.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.249

Does this screw my total? Or do we start counting after I’m a vampire?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 13, p.250

What was with her? For crying out loud, she was married! Happily married, too – there was no question that she was in love with her vampire past the boundaries of sanity. And hugely pregnant, to top it off. So why did she have to be so damn thrilled to see me? Like I’d made her who freakin’ day by walking through the door. If she would just not care… Or more than that – really not want me around. It would be so much easier to stay away.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 14, p.270

Edward seemed to be in agreement with my thoughts – we were on the same wavelength so much lately it was crazy.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 14, p.270

This was the problem with hanging out with vampires – you got used to them. They started messing up the way you saw the world. They started feeling like friends.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 14, p.284

Seemed like maybe getting your choices taken away from you wasn’t the very worst thing in the world. Maybe feeling like this was the very worst thing in the world.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.331

Crazy how easy it was, walking through the dark with a vampire right beside me. It didn’t feel unsafe, or even uncomfortable, really. It felt like walking next to anybody. Well, anybody who smelled bad.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.343

He has one of the purest, sincerest, kindest minds I’ve ever heard. You’re lucky to have his thoughts to share.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.343

You can talk when you’re not being stupid.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.345

I gotta say it, Bells. You’re a freak show.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.433

Watch yourself, mongrel.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.433

Huh. I can see what everyone’s been going on about. You stink, Jacob.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.436

You stupid mutt! You could you! My baby!
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.449

I’ve held her all of one time, and already you think you have some moronic wolfy claim on her? She’s mine.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.449

How dare you imprint on my baby? Have you lost your mind?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.449

You said we belonged in each other’s lives, right? That we were family. You said that was how you and I were supposed to be. So… now we are. It’s what you want.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

You think you’ll be part of my family as my son-in-law!
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

Stop her, Edward. She’ll be unhappy if she hurts him.
Esme Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

You know I don’t think of her that way! Do you think Edward would have let me live this long if I did? All I want is for her to be safe and happy – is that so bad? So different from what you want?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

Amazing, isn’t she?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

She hasn’t gone for his throat even once.
Carlisle Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450

Run away while you still can.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.451

You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.451

She has never been set down in her entire life. She’s going to be the most spoiled half-vampire I existence.
Alice Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.473

Bella’s supposed to be a grown-up. Married and a mom and all that. Shouldn’t there be more dignity?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.522

Freaky Bella.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

What an amazing creature she is.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

He was both dazzling and dazzled.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

A very talented family. A mind reader for a father, a shield for a mother, and then whatever magic this extraordinary child has bewitched us with.
Eleazar, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 31, p.595

Ironic. Aro sent me all over the world searching for such anomalies, and you simply stumble across it by accident and don’t even realize what you have.
Eleazar, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 31, p.596

Of course, Jacob got more surly with each new addition. He kept his distance when he could, and when he couldn’t he grumbled to Renesmee that someone was going to have to provide an index if anyone expected him to keep all the new bloodsuckers’ names straight.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 32, p.611

Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 33, p.631

Yeah, so I’m a sucker for the pretty ones, what’s wrong with that?
Max, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 33, p.640

Stupid leeches. Think they’re so superior.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 34, p.661

They’ll be shocked when the infants save their superior lives, won’t they?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 34, p.661
