* I wondered if I was a monster. Not the kind that
[Edward] thought he was, but the real kind. The kind
that hurt people. The kind that had no limits when
it came to what they wanted.
- Bella Swan, p. 423
* "You know, Jacob, if it weren't for the fact that
we're natural enemies and that you're also trying to
steal away the reason for my existence, I might
actually like you."
"Maybe...if you weren't a disgusting vampire who was
planning to suck out the life of the girl I
love...well, no, not even then."
- Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, p. 503
* "[W]hen I left you, Bella, I left you bleeding.
Jacob was the one to stitch you back up again. That
was bound to leave its mark — on both of you. I'm
not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their
own."
- Edward Cullen, p. 534

* "I am a
neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be
affected by territorial disputes between mythical
creatures."
- Bella Swan to Edward Cullen, p. 143
* "If there were any way for me to become human for
you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it."
- Edward Cullen to Bella Swan, p. 273
* "I hate you, Jacob Black."
"That's good. Hate is a passionate emotion."
"I'll give you passionate," I muttered under my
breath. "Murder, the ultimate crime of passion."
- Bella Swan and Jacob Black, p. 332
* Edward rode in the backseat of my father's police
car, behind the fiberglass divider, with an amused
expression — probably due to my father's amused
expression, and the grin that widened every time
Charlie stole a glance at Edward in his rearview
mirror.
- Bella Swan, p. 351
* They stood out from the rest of the crowd, their
beauty and grace otherworldly. I wondered how I'd
ever fallen for their human farce. A couple of
angels, standing there with wings intact, would be
less conspicuous.
- Bella Swan about Alice and Edward Cullen, p. 354
* "I'm exactly right for you, Bella. It would have
been effortless for us — comfortable, easy as
breathing. I was the natural path your life would
have taken. [...] If the world was the way it was
supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no
magic..."
- Jacob Black, p. 599
* "He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was
still gentle, not at all critical. "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."
The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful
half-smile. "I used to think of you that way, you
know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced
out the clouds nicely for me."
He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't
fight with an eclipse."
- Jacob Black and Bella Swan, pp. 599-600
