81 " There really is something irresistible about a lost cause. "
― Stephenie Meyer , Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, #3)
82 " One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively. "
83 " Hate is a passionate emotion. "
84 " He's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun. "
85 " Sometimes, there isn't any way to compromise." - Eclipse, page 607 "
86 " and the smile I'd been waiting for stretched across his face like the sun breaking free of the clouds. "
87 " Please tell me you are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie. (Bella) "
88 " Jacob was hardly in need of any physical protection I could offer. But my arms, pinned beneath Edward's, yearned to reach out to him. To wrap around his big, warm, waist in a silent promise of acceptance and comfort. Edward's shielding arms had become restraints. "
89 " You are in trouble,' I said slowly, emphasizing each word. 'Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home. "
90 " I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that's not actually the case. - Edward Cullen "
91 " This is making me sick, Jacob. Can you imagine what this feels like to me? I don’t even like Bella Swan. And you’ve got me grieving over this leech-lover like I’m in love with her, too. Can you see where that might be a little confusing? I dreamed about kissing her last night! What the hell am I supposed to do with that? "
92 " If there were any way for me to become human for you - no matter what the price was, I would pay it. "
93 " The clouds I can handle, but I can't fight with an eclipse. "
94 " Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I'd allow it, she'd love to dress me everyday―perhaps several times a day―like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll. "
95 " Of course, I still saw Edward at school, because there wasn't anything Charlie [her dad] could do about that. And then, Edward spent almost every night in my room, too, but Charlie wasn't precisely aware of that. Edward's ability to climb easily and silently through my second-story window was almost as useful as his ability to read Charlie's mind. "
96 " Until your heart stops beating, Bella," he said. "I'll be here-- fighting. "
97 " You gave me two alternatives that you could live with, and I chose the one that I could live with. That's how compromise is supposed to work. "
98 " Interceded? You threw me to the sharks! "
99 " Jacob's little smirk became a full-blown grin, and I knew he was picturing Charlie showing up to arrest him. This grin was too bitter, too full of mocking to satisfy me. This wasn't the smile I'd been waiting to see. "
100 " Of course, you’d warm up faster if you took your clothes off. "
