He's like a drug for you, Bella.

I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.

β
And so the lion fell in love with the lambβ¦" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
"What a stupid lamb," I sighed.
"What a sick, masochistic lion.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Fall down again, Bella?'
No, Emmett, I punched a werewolf in the face.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Look after my heart - I've left it with you.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother,Jacob?" she asked cutting me off. "His name is 'Shut the hell up'.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
I decided as long as I'm going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.
β

Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder

Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Hey, Rosalie? Do you know how to drown a blonde? Stick a mirror to the bottom of a pool.
β

Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didnβt know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Life sucks, and then you die...
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
You nicked-named my daughter after the Lock Ness Monster!
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldnβt see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was. As I would always belong to him, so would he always be mine.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
You are my life now.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I honestly have no idea how to live without you.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Now you know," I said lightly, and shrugged. "No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Don't be self-conscious, if I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I'm gonna fight for you, until your heart stops beating.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
I know - I'll play you for it," Alice suggested. "Rock, paper, scissors."
Jasper chuckled and Edward sighed.
"Why don't you just tell me who wins?" Edward said wryly.
Alice beamed. "I do. Excellent.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, itβs not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Why am I covered in feathers
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
You're awfully small to be so hugely irritating.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
What a marshmallow. You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Well, I'm so sorry that I can't be the right kind of monster for you, Bella.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Does it bother you, me being half naked all the time?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
I said it would be better if we werenβt friends, not that I didnβt want to be.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I was stronger than Edward. I'd made him say ow.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
I coveted you. I had no right to want you--but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what's become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
What if I'm not a superhero. What if I'm the bad guy?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
After all the thousand times Iβve told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?...I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didnβt want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous conceptβas if there were any way that I could exist without needing you!
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Youβre not asleep, and youβre not dead. Iβm 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 didnβt want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
I promise that this will be the last time youβll see me. I wonβt come back. I wonβt put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if Iβd never existed.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
What happens when you lose your heart's desire?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Do I dazzle you?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Now and then I see something in her eyes, and I wonder if Iβve ever grasped how much pain sheβs really in.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
What do I look like? The Wizard of Oz? You need a brain? You need a heart? Go ahead, take mine. Take everything I have.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Amazing," Edward muttered. "How can someone so tiny be so annoying?"
Alice laughed. "It's a talent.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
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.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
love gave someone the power to break you.
I'd been broken beyond repair.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Sometimes you have to learn to love what's good for you.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Sheβs in love with me, too, you know."
Edward didnβt answer.
Jacob sighed. βBut she doesnβt know it.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Why am I covered in feathers?" I asked, confused.
He exhaled impatiently. "I bit a pillow. Or two...
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home." I snapped the phone shut and placed it in her waiting hand. "I'm done.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Iβve chosen my life β now I want to start living it.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (The Twilight Saga)
β
You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers β the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
And the sound of your heart," he continued. "It's the most significant sound in my world. I'm so attuned to it now, I swear I could pick it out from miles away. But neither of these things matter. This," he said, taking my face in his hands. "You. That's what I'm keeping. You'll always be my Bella, you'll just be a little more durable.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
Romeo wouldnβt change his mind. Thatβs why people still remembered his name, always twined with hers
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Youβre still waiting for the running and the screaming, arenβt you?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I'll meet you at the altar"
"I'll be the one in white!
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
I'm not like a car you can fix up. I'm never gonna run right" Bella
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun (The Twilight Saga, #5))
β
You know I love you right?β
βI know,β he breathed, his arm tightening automatically around my waist. βYou know how much I wish it was enough.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
It never made sense for you to love me.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
The part that kills me is that you already know. I already told you everything!
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
I am not really breaking any rules. Charlie said I could never take another step through the door again... I came in through the window... Still, the intent was clear," said Edward.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
I want you, and I want you forever. One lifetime is simply not enough for me.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
So, did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what? I've never seen him act like that.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Iβm a little worried about Edwardβ¦ Can vampires go into shock?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
I know love and lust don't always keep the same company.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. "Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Stupid, shiny Volvo owner.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
It's twilight. Itβs the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, donβt you think?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
How dare you imprint on my baby? Have you lost you mind?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
You are safe inside your mind. No one can reach you there.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
She just keeps saying "Heβs gone.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
It's something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart--not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end...their love is their only redeeming quality.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
What's so funny?" Bella mumbled.
"I got food in her hair," I told her, chortling again.
"I'm not going to forget this, dog," Rosalie hissed.
"S'not so hard to erase a blond's memory," I countered. "Just blow in her ear."
Get some new jokes, "Rosalie snapped.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Do you think Iβll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Only you could be more important than what I wanted...what I needed. What I want and what I need is to be with you, and I know I'll never be strong enough to leave again.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
I can feel what youβre feeling now β and you are worth it.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
You're intoxicated by my very presence.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
No measure of time with you will be long enough, but we'll start with forever.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
Momma, you're special," Renesmee told me without any surprise, like she was commenting on the color of my clothes.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
I'm not dangerous at all I never hurt Grandpa or Sue or Billy. I love humans. And wolf-people like my Jacob."Renesmee dropped Edward's hand to reach back and pat Jacob's arm.
β

Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Leah: "That is easily the freakinβ grossest thing Iβve ever heard in my life. Yuck. If there was anything in my stomach, it would be coming back."
Seth: "They are vampires, I guess. I mean, it makes sense, and if it helps Bella, itβs a good thing, right?"
Leah and Jake stare at Seth.
Seth: "What?"
Leah: "Mom dropped him a lot when he was a baby."
Jake: "On his head apparently."
Leah: "He used to gnaw on the crib bars, too."
Jake: "Lead paint?"
Leah: "Looks like it."
Seth: "Funny. Why donβt you two shut up and sleep?
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?" He pulled me tighter against his hard chest, tucking my head under his chin.
I pressed my lips against his snow-cold neck. "I know how much I love you," I answered.
You compare one small tree to the entire forest."
I rolled my eyes, but he couldn't see. "Impossible.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3))
β
So this was different. I was amazing now - to them and to myself. It was like I had been born to be a vampire. The idea made me want to laugh, but it also made me want to sing. I had found my true place in the world, the place I fit, the place I shined.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
Ew. Someone put the dog out, "Rosalie murmured wrinkling her nose.
Have you herd this one, Psycho?
how do a blond's brain cells die?"
She didn't say anything.
Well?" I asked."Do you know the punch line or not?"
She looked pointedly at the TV and ignored me.
Has she heard it?" I asked Edward.
No." He answered.
Awesome. So you'll enjoy this, bloodsucker--a blond's brain cells die alone.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, #4))
β
His skin was a pretty colour, it made me jealous.
Jacob noticed my scrutiny.
What?" he asked, suddenly self-conscious.
"Nothing. I just hadn't realised before. Did you know, you're sort of beautiful?"
Once the words slipped out, I worried that he might take my implusive observation the wrong way.
But Jacob rolled his eyes. "You hit your head pretty hard, didn't you?"
"I'm serious."
Well, then, thanks. Sort of."
I grinned. "You're sort of welcome.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (The Twilight Saga, #2))
β
And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won't approve of you, correct?β
βThat's right,β I answered immediately, hiding my surprise at his casual use of the word.
He shook his head. βYou're incredible.
β
β
Stephenie Meyer (Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1))
β
Itβs not like love at first sight, really. Itβs more likeβ¦ gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly itβs 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 herβ¦ You become whatever she needs you to be, whether thatβs a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.

I tried to concentrate on the angel's voice instead.
"Bella, please! Bella, listen to me, please, please, please, Bella, please!" he begged.
Yes, I wanted to say. Anything. But I couldn't find my lips.
"Carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "Bella, Bella, no, oh please, no, no!" And the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs.
The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. I tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and I couldn't breathe.

When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were thing like astronaut, president, or in my case⦠princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be⦠we won't have to guess. We'll know.
