I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.6
It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.9
Bella, it’s not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 4, p.81
His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.102
Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you again?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.102
Don’t be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So… try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.109
Distract me, please.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.163
I feel very safe with you.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.170
I was wrong — you’re much more observant than I gave you credit for.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.173
You’re not a magnet for accidents — that’s not a broad enough classification. You are a magnet for trouble. If there is anything dangerous within a ten-mile radius, it will invariably find you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.174
It’s harder than it should be — keeping track of you. Usually I can find someone very easily, once I’ve heard their mind before.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.175
I thought we were past all the evasiveness.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 9, p.179
It makes me… anxious… to be away from you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 9, p.188
You take everything so coolly — it’s unnatural. It makes me wonder what you’re really thinking.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.198
Hadn’t you noticed? I’m breaking all the rules now.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.199
I don’t know how you’re brave enough to be alone with him.
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
He’s so… intimidating. I wouldn’t know what to say to him.
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
I do have some trouble with incoherency when I’m around him.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
I can’t explain it right… but he’s even more unbelievable behind the face.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
You’re always curious.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.207
I’m not surprised you heard something you didn’t like. You know what they say about eavesdroppers.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.208
I warned you I would be listening.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.208
Trust me just this once — you are the opposite of ordinary.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.210
Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full-time occupation that requires my constant presence.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.211
Are you referring to the fact that you can’t walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.212
I told you — you don’t see yourself clearly at all. You’re not like anyone I’ve ever known. You fascinate me.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 12, p.245
People are predictable. But you… you never do what I expect. You always take me by surprise.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 12, p.245
It’s too easy to be myself with you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.262
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274
Bella, I’ve already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I’m not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can’t even walk straight. Besides, friends don’t let friends drive drunk.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.284
Mind over matter.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 14, p.300
Damn it, Bella! You’ll be the death of me, I swear you will.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 17, p.363
If you let anything happen to yourself— anything at all — I’m holding you personally responsible. Do you understand that?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 18, p.388
Bella, don’t you dare waste time worrying about me. Your only concern is keeping yourself safe and — please, please — trying not to be reckless.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.398
He said to tell you, no, to warn you, that — and this is his plural, not mine, ‘We’ll be watching.’
Jacob Black, Twilight, Epilogue, p.492
So, should I tell him you said to butt the hell out?
Jacob Black, Twilight, Epilogue, p.492
He called you pretty. That’s practically an insult, the way you look right now. You’re much more than beautiful.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.493
Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.495
You can’t really believe that I would give in so easily.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
A girl can dream.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
Mostly I dream about being with you forever.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
Attention is never a good thing, as any other accident-prone klutz would agree. No one wants a spotlight when they’re likely to fall on their face.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.12
Your wish, my command.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.16
Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.117
It didn’t feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I’d grown strong enough to bear it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.118
For the first time in a long time, I didn’t know what to expect in the morning.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.119
I wished I could feel numb again, but I couldn’t remember how I’d managed it before.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 5, p.123
Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell.
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 12, p.283
The part that kills me is that you already know. I already told you everything!
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 12, p.283
The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 14, p.340
We’re a pretty messed-up pair, aren’t we? Neither one of us can hold our shape together right.
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 15, p.349
He was a fool to think you could survive alone. I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.386
Save your remorse for someone who believes it.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 18, p.415
I don’t think he ever planned to outlive you by long.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 18, p.418
You are so bizarre, even for a human.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.437
I love a happy ending. They are so rare.
Aro, New Moon, Chapter 21, p.468
You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510
You will always be the most beautiful thing in my world. Of course… If you outgrew me—if you wanted something more—I would understand that, Bella. I promise I wouldn’t stand in your way if you wanted to leave me.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.519
What if you sincerely believed something was true, but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth be silenced, or would it try to break through?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 24, p.527
You’re wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it’s a joke.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 24, p.540
The fairy tale was back on. Prince returned, bad spell broken. I wasn’t sure exactly what to do about the leftover, unresolved character. Where was his happily ever after?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Epilogue, p.550
I think it’s something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart — not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end…
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
It’s a bit late for me to worry about who I fall in love with. But even without the warning, I seem to have managed fairly well.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
Please make a conscious effort to keep yourself safe. I’ll do everything I can, but I would appreciate a little help.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Your mother has a very interesting mind. Almost childlike, but very insightful. She sees things differently than other people.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.66
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.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
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
She’s tougher than you think. And she’s been through worse.
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.
Ben Cheney, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
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
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.6
It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.9
Bella, it’s not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 4, p.81
His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.102
Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you again?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.102
Don’t be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So… try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 5, p.109
Distract me, please.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.163
I feel very safe with you.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.170
I was wrong — you’re much more observant than I gave you credit for.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.173
You’re not a magnet for accidents — that’s not a broad enough classification. You are a magnet for trouble. If there is anything dangerous within a ten-mile radius, it will invariably find you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.174
It’s harder than it should be — keeping track of you. Usually I can find someone very easily, once I’ve heard their mind before.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 8, p.175
I thought we were past all the evasiveness.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 9, p.179
It makes me… anxious… to be away from you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 9, p.188
You take everything so coolly — it’s unnatural. It makes me wonder what you’re really thinking.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.198
Hadn’t you noticed? I’m breaking all the rules now.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.199
I don’t know how you’re brave enough to be alone with him.
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
He’s so… intimidating. I wouldn’t know what to say to him.
Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
I do have some trouble with incoherency when I’m around him.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
I can’t explain it right… but he’s even more unbelievable behind the face.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.204
You’re always curious.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.207
I’m not surprised you heard something you didn’t like. You know what they say about eavesdroppers.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.208
I warned you I would be listening.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.208
Trust me just this once — you are the opposite of ordinary.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.210
Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full-time occupation that requires my constant presence.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.211
Are you referring to the fact that you can’t walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 10, p.212
I told you — you don’t see yourself clearly at all. You’re not like anyone I’ve ever known. You fascinate me.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 12, p.245
People are predictable. But you… you never do what I expect. You always take me by surprise.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 12, p.245
It’s too easy to be myself with you.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.262
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274
Bella, I’ve already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I’m not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can’t even walk straight. Besides, friends don’t let friends drive drunk.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.284
Mind over matter.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 14, p.300
Damn it, Bella! You’ll be the death of me, I swear you will.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 17, p.363
If you let anything happen to yourself— anything at all — I’m holding you personally responsible. Do you understand that?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 18, p.388
Bella, don’t you dare waste time worrying about me. Your only concern is keeping yourself safe and — please, please — trying not to be reckless.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 19, p.398
He said to tell you, no, to warn you, that — and this is his plural, not mine, ‘We’ll be watching.’
Jacob Black, Twilight, Epilogue, p.492
So, should I tell him you said to butt the hell out?
Jacob Black, Twilight, Epilogue, p.492
He called you pretty. That’s practically an insult, the way you look right now. You’re much more than beautiful.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.493
Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.495
You can’t really believe that I would give in so easily.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
A girl can dream.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
Mostly I dream about being with you forever.
Bella Swan, Twilight, Epilogue, p.498
Attention is never a good thing, as any other accident-prone klutz would agree. No one wants a spotlight when they’re likely to fall on their face.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.12
Your wish, my command.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.16
Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.117
It didn’t feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I’d grown strong enough to bear it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.118
For the first time in a long time, I didn’t know what to expect in the morning.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 4, p.119
I wished I could feel numb again, but I couldn’t remember how I’d managed it before.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 5, p.123
Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell.
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 12, p.283
The part that kills me is that you already know. I already told you everything!
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 12, p.283
The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 14, p.340
We’re a pretty messed-up pair, aren’t we? Neither one of us can hold our shape together right.
Jacob Black, New Moon, Chapter 15, p.349
He was a fool to think you could survive alone. I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.386
Save your remorse for someone who believes it.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 18, p.415
I don’t think he ever planned to outlive you by long.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 18, p.418
You are so bizarre, even for a human.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.437
I love a happy ending. They are so rare.
Aro, New Moon, Chapter 21, p.468
You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510
You will always be the most beautiful thing in my world. Of course… If you outgrew me—if you wanted something more—I would understand that, Bella. I promise I wouldn’t stand in your way if you wanted to leave me.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.519
What if you sincerely believed something was true, but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth be silenced, or would it try to break through?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 24, p.527
You’re wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it’s a joke.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 24, p.540
The fairy tale was back on. Prince returned, bad spell broken. I wasn’t sure exactly what to do about the leftover, unresolved character. Where was his happily ever after?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Epilogue, p.550
I think it’s something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart — not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end…
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
It’s a bit late for me to worry about who I fall in love with. But even without the warning, I seem to have managed fairly well.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
Please make a conscious effort to keep yourself safe. I’ll do everything I can, but I would appreciate a little help.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Your mother has a very interesting mind. Almost childlike, but very insightful. She sees things differently than other people.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.66
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.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
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
She’s tougher than you think. And she’s been through worse.
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.
Ben Cheney, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
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
