TWILIGHT


He grinned his crooked smile at me, stopping my breath and my heart. I couldn't imagine how an angel could be any more glorious. There was nothing about him that could be improved upon. (Bella)

You already know how I feel, of course. I'm here... which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you. (Bella)

80. Bella, I've already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I'm not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can't even walk straight. Besides, friends don't let friends drive drunk. (Edward)

81. You're intoxicated by my very presence. (Edward)


He called you pretty. That's practically an insult, the way you look right now. You're much more than beautiful. (Edward)

Is that what you dream about? Being a monster? (Edward)

190. Mostly I dream about being with you forever. (Bella)

191. I will stay with you - isn't that enough? (Edward

192. I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough? (Bella)

193. Yes, it is enough. Enough for forever. (Edward)

I didn't have to look to know who it was; this was a voice I would know anywhere-know, and respond to, whether I was awake or asleep... or even dead, I'd bet. The voice I'd walk through fire for-or, less dramatically, sloshes every day through the cold and endless rain for. Edward. (Bella)

Edward looked just as beautiful as he did in real life, staring at me out of the picture with the warm eyes I'd missed for the past few days. It was almost uncanny that anyone could look so... so... beyond description. No thousand words could equal this picture. (Bella)

The contrast between the two of us was painful. He looked like a god. I looked very average, even for a human, almost shamefully plain. (Bella)



I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you-it's yours already! (Bella)

As if he'd never existed? That was insanity. It was a promise that he could never keep, a promise that was broken as soon as he'd made it. (Bella)

I threw my arms around him instinctively, wrapping them around his waist and pressing my face against his chest. He was so big, I felt like I was a child hugging a grown-up. (Bella)

93. This didn't feel anything like the last time someone had embraced me this way. This was friendship. And Jacob was very warm. (Bella)

95. It's hard to believe I'm two years older than you. You make me feel like a dwarf.

What a marshmallow. You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit. (Jacob)
