I promise to love you forever – every single day of forever.
You are the most beautiful thing in my world.
With our rarely changing temperaments strong emotions can alter us in permanent ways. But he said I did not need to worry about that part – you had already altered me so completely.
Edward thought he was going to ruin Bella’s life and he made her happy. And that really was everything for him.
He’s got to let go of you sometime.
If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn’t be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.
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.

Despite my best efforts I’ve seen you naked before – doesn’t do much for me so no worries.

When I surfaced, I was not the same man I had been. My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must, by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now, in the middle of my midnight?
The way everyone looked at me made me uncomfortable. Even Edward. It was like I had grown a hundred feet during the course of the morning. I tried to ignore the impressed looks, mostly keeping my eyes on Nessie’s sleeping face and Jacob’s unchanged expression. I would always be just Bella to him, and that was a relief.
You’ll make mistakes because it’s impossible to know what is or isn’t a mistake until it’s made.
