Carlisle And Esme Quotes

My old mind hadn’t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I’d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle’s compassion and Esme’s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that.

Jasper followed Alice down the stairs, not racing but not moving cautiously like Carlisle and Esme, either. There was no need for him to put on a show. Everything he did seemed natural and right. In truth, he was laying it on a little thick. I gave him a sardonic look, and he grinned at me, then stopped by the newel post, leaving what might have felt like an odd distance between himself and the rest of us, but of course it couldn't feel odd if he didn't want it to.

Over the years after my return to Carlisle and Esme, as I struggled to relearn all the discipline I'd abandoned, I came to the conclusion that Siobhan might not know anything greater than the call of blood, but I had been born to something better. And now, the words that had once haunted me, once driven me, came back with surprising force. The greatest joy of this life.

Se Carlisle era a alma da nossa família, Esme era o coração. Ele era um líder que merecia ser seguido; ela transformava aquela liderança em um ato de amor.

Se Carlisle era l’anima della famiglia, Esme ne era il cuore.

Tive que sair, me afastar da confusão dos pensamentos deles — o nojo e o ar de superioridade de Rosalie, o humor de Emmett, a paciência infinita de Carlisle... Pior: a confiança de Alice. A confiança de Jasper na confiança dela. Pior de tudo: Esme... e sua alegria.
