You’re not making my mistakes, Bella. You sound like you’re scared silly, and I’m guessing it’s because you’re afraid of me.
You’ve never been a teenager, sweetie. You know what’s best for you.
He’s playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. Don’t blame me because he’s a better manipulator than I am – I haven’t been around long enough to learn all his tricks.
The irresponsible mother helped explain bella’s maturity. She’d had to grow up early, to become the caretaker. That’s why she didn’t like being cared for- she felt it was her job.
I don’t want you to leave Which is exactly why I should. But don’t worry. I’m essentially a selfish creature. I crave your company too much to do what I should.
She wasn’t speaking to me – in the juvenile, petty sense of the phrase.
How did anyone survive this world, with these bodies whose memories wouldn’t stay in the past where they should? With the emotions that were so strond I couldn’t tell what I felt anymore?
You can have me the way i am – bad behavior included – or not at all.
I figured if I played nice, I’d get more time with you.
Why can you believe the lie, but not the truth?
I can feel what you’re feeling now – and you are worth it.
There are no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.
You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.
Go sit down and look pale.
Dear Jacob, I win. Sincerely, Edward.
Bella, it’s not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant.
Sometimes it was so easy to forget that I was kissing a vampire.
My life and his were twisted into a single strand. Cut one, and you cut both. If he were gone, I would not be able to live through that. If I were gone, he wouldn’t live through it, either.
Tonight the sky was utterly black. Perhaps there was no moon tonight – a lunar eclipse, a new moon. A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn’t cold.
Your hold on me is permanent and unbreakable. Never doubt that.
