’m dead, right? I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! This is gonna kill Charlie.”
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.502
You should probably know that I’m breaking the rules right now. Well, not technically, since he said I was never to walk through his door again, and I came in the window… But, still, the intent was clear.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.503
After all the thousand times I’ve told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510
I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn’t want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you!
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510
You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.510
Of course I love you—and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.512
Before you, Bella, 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.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514
My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone—like I was hollow. Like I’d left everything that was inside me here with you.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.515
He was a fool to think you could survive alone. I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.386
Edward was right—you’re a magnet for danger. Weren’t you supposed to be staying out of trouble?
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.387
Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.387
What did you think you were going to find? I mean, besides me dead? Did you expect to find me skipping around and whistling show tunes? You know me better than that.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.389
t was night of the living dead around here. I still hear her screaming in her sleep…
Charlie Swan, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.397 (so sad)
It was like someone had died—like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if that were not enough to kill anyone. It was also losing a whole future, a whole family—the whole life that I’d chosen…
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 17, p.398
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, slosh every day through the cold and endless rain for. Edward.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.4
You’re only a senior once. Might as well document the experience.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.9
How many times have you been a senior?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.9
So, as discussed, I am not allowed to wish you a happy birthday, is that correct?
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.9
It was easy to see where his inspiration came from—but Edward’s look wasn’t something that could be achieved through imitation.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.12
Attention is never a good thing, as any other accident-prone klutz would agree. No one wants a spotlight when they’re likely to fall on their face.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.12
College was Plan B. I was still hoping for Plan A, but Edward was just so stubborn about leaving me human…
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.13
Money meant next to nothing to Edward or the rest of the Cullens. It was just something that accumulated when you had unlimited time on your hands and a sister who had an uncanny ability to predict trends in the stock market.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.13
Sometimes it bothered Edward how very comfortable I was with being close to him. He thought he was hazardous to my health—an opinion I rejected vehemently whenever he voiced it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.14
You want a nice stereo? Drive your own car.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.15
Bella, the last real birthday any of us had was Emmett in 1935. Cut us a little slack, and don’t be too difficult tonight. They’re all very excited.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.23
Emmett, Edward’s playful be
