When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.Bella Swan
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
I felt a surge of pity, and relief. Pity because, as beautiful as they were, they were outsiders, clearly not accepted. Relief that I wasn’t the only newcomer here, and certainly not the most interesting by any standard. Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 1, p.22
Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair. Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 2, p.49
I’d seen the new face repeated in thought after thought from every angle. Just an ordinary human girl. The excitement over her arrival was tiresomely predictable – like flashing a shiny object at a child. Half the sheep-like males were already imagining themselves in love with her, just because she was something new to look at. Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.2
We had to stick together, Alice and I. It wasn’t easy, hearing voices or seeing visions of the future. Both freaks among those who were already freaks. We protected each other’s secrets. Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.4
Black eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protector’s attention would be diverted. The moment when I would surely die. Bella Swan, Eclipse, Preface, p.1
It used to be nearly impossible to escape her constant, ridiculous daydreams. I’d wished, at the time, that I could explain to her exactly what would have happened if my lips, and the teeth behind them, had gotten anywhere near her. That would have silenced those annoying fantasies. Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.6
A low oath made me aware that someone was with me, and the voice was impossible not to recognize. Two long, white hands shot out protectively in front of me, and the van shuddered to a stop a foot from my face, the large hands fitting providentially into a deep dent in the side of the van’s body. Bella Swan, Twilight, Chapter 3, p.56
The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something more expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when you used them in casual conversation. Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.6
I acted as a lookout, for lack of a better word, for my family. To protect us. If anyone ever grew suspicious, I could give us early warning and an easy retreat. It happened occasionally – some human with an active imagination would see us in the characters of a book or a movie. Usually they got it wrong, but it was better to move on somewhere new than to risk scrutiny. Very, very rarely someone would guess right. We didn’t give them a chance to test their hypothesis. We simply disappeared, to become no more than a frightening memory… Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.7
So, is the new one afraid of us yet? Emmett Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.11
You will do the right thing. She’s Charlie Swan’s only family. It would kill him, too. Alice Cullen, Midnight Sun, Chapter 1, p.28
It’s been almost a century that Edward’s been alone. Now he’s found you. You can’t see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?Alice Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 20, p.410
I’m so very sorry, Bella. I feel wretched about every part of this, and so grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother after what I did. Please say you’ll forgive me. Rosalie Hale, New Moon, Chapter 22, p.497
I don’t mean that I have any aversion to you as a sister. It’s just that… this is not the life I would have chosen for myself. I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me. Rosalie Hale, New Moon, Chapter 24, p.534
