1. “I Promise to love You Forever- Every Single Day of Forever.”
2. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
3. Do I dazzle you?
4. I’ve never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it’s much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that’s probably just because it’s you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes.
5. 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.
6. Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.
7. And So the lion fell in love with the lamb. What a stupid lamb. What a sick masochistic lion.
8. For almost ninety years I’ve walked among my kind, and yours all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren’t alive yet.
9. Yeah, it’s an off day when I don’t get somebody telling me how edible I smell.
10. You are my life now.
11. I’ll always want you. Forever.
12. “If I Could Dream at All, It Would Be about You. and I’m Not Ashamed of It.”
13. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
14. Bella, I couldn’t live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don’t know how it’s tortured me. The thought of you, still, white, cold… to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses… it would be unendurable. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.
15. It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.
16. I was the last person who would ever stand as a protector for Isabella Swan. She would never need protection from anything more than she needed it from me.
17. “…But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top ten BEST nights of my life. Dream about THAT.
18. “Edward, I know who I can’t live without.”
19. “Before you, 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 couldn’t see the stars anymore.
And there was no more reason for anything.”
20. “I wasn’t interesting. And he was. Interesting…and brilliant…and mysterious…and perfect…. And possibly able to lift full-sized vans with one hand.”
21. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
22. It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.
23. About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
24. I know that at some point, something I tell you or something you see is going to be too much. And then you’ll run away from me, screaming as you go. I won’t stop you. I want this to happen, because I want you to be safe. And yet, I want to be with you. The two desires are impossible to reconcile…
25. I love you. It’s a poor excuse for what I’m doing, but it’s still true.
26. I love you. I will always love you, no matter what happens now.
27. I folded the letter carefully, and sealed it in the envelope. Eventually he would find it. I only hoped he would understand, and listen to me just this once. And then I carefully sealed away my heart.
28. This couldn’t be heaven, could it? There was too much pain for that.
29. You are my life. You’re the only thing it would hurt me to lose.
30. That’s the beautiful thing about being human. Things change.
31. I may not die now… but I’m going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer. And I’m going to get old.
32. He called you pretty. That’s practically an insult, the way you look right now. You’re much more than beautiful.
33. Bella, I won’t let anything hurt you — not even yourself. I won’t let go of you once, I promise.
34. Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
35. So ready for this to be the end, for this to be the twilight of your life, though your life has barely started. You’re ready to give up everything.
36. It’s not the end, it’s the beginning.
37. I will stay with you — isn’t that enough?
38. I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn’t that enough?
39. Yes, it is enough. Enough for forever.
40. Look after My Heart, I Have Left It with You.
Thanks for the link. I only read the first three books in the Twilight series. I just didn’t really enjoy them. However, seeing it broken down into quotes I can appreciate some of what’s there. I didn’t think anyone could do that.
I especially liked this one:
“I’ve never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it’s much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that’s probably just because it’s you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes.”
