1 " My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math;in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. "
― Stephenie Meyer ,
2 " It was strange and amusing...and, honestly, a bit embarrassing...to realize how much being near Bella had softened me. It seemed like no one was afraid of me any more. If Emmett found out about this, he would be laughing for the next century. "
3 " There was no reason for Bella Swan to cross paths with me. She would be avoided like the plague she was. "
4 " 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. "
5 " I was a vampire, and she had the sweetest blood I’d smelled in eighty years. "
6 " And, by the way, I adore you.... in frightening, dangerous ways. "
7 " 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? "
8 " So, Bella, I was following your scent through the woods after I'd left your room where I was watching you sleep...Yes that would be quite the ice breaker. "
9 " I struggled to find the words to name the feelings that flooded through me, but I had no words strong enough to hold them. For a long moment, I drowned in them. 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? "
10 " It's healthy to ditch class now and then." To be precise, it was healthier for humans if vampires ditched on days when human blood would be spilt. "
11 " I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence. "
12 " Idiot! Lunatic! Moron! Jackass! Selfish irresponsible fool! "
13 " I stared into her eyes, wide under the thick fringe of lashes, and yearned for sleep. Not for oblivion, as I had before, not to escape boredom, but because I wanted to *dream*. Maybe, if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for a few hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her. "
14 " A hundred yards away, Mike Newton was lowering Bella's limp body to the sidewalk. She slumped unresponsively against the wet concrete, her skin chalky as a corpse. I almost took the door off the car. "
15 " Trust Emmett to find the joke in the destruction of my life. "
16 " Just like a kitten that thinks its a tiger. "
17 " No mistakes, I'd promised myself that i would make no mistakes, no matter how minimal they seemed. if i held her hand, i would only want more - another insignificant touch, another move closer to her. i could feel that. a new kind of desire was growing in me, working to override my self-control. no mistakes. "
18 " Like a stalker. An obsessed stalker. An obsessed, vampire stalker "
19 " Who are you and what have you done with my brother? "
20 " Bite me. "
