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?
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.
I love you. I want you. Right now. – Edward Cullen
When we die, we never really leave. It’s true for our loved ones as well. Love takes on different forms, but it’s always there.
You are my life. You’re the only thing it would hurt me to lose. – Edward Cullen
I’m the world’s most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell. As if I would need any of that. As if you could outrun me. As if you could fight me off. I’m designed to kill.
I’ve never had any reason not to trust you. Your loyalty has always been one of your best characteristics. But . . . well, it seems that things are different. And I’m not sure why.
I’m not going to kill you now, because it would upset Bella.
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.
It’s an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bear your soul to and accept you for what you are. I’ve been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. With Bella I feel like I can finally begin.
Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.
You’re exactly my brand of heroin.
I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.
I bit a pillow, yes. But you weren’t there. And it wasn’t as good.” – Edward Cullen
You don’t need to be sorry for this, Bella. It will be as if I’d never existed. Don’t worry. You’re human – your memory is no more than a sieve. Time heals all wounds for your kind.
You’re so stubborn. It’s just an empty page. You have to figure out the rest of the story. You have the book in your mind. What happens next?
You have no idea how loud your heartbeat is to me. It sounds like a neon sign flashing in my ears.
It’s the contrast, he said aloud. Sunshine and rain, white and black, good and evil, life and death.
And here I’d always thought of myself as an essentially good person. But I wasn’t so sure anymore.
You’re worried, not because you’re headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won’t approve of you, correct?
It’s not the end, Bella. It’s time, don’t you see? Maybe it’s time.
I wanted to be the first thing he saw when he woke up; the last thing he saw when he went to sleep. I wanted to replace his nightmares with dreams of me.
When Edward dreamed, even his nightmares were perfect.
You’re like a drug to me, my own personal brand of heroin.
I’m really pissed off that I didn’t think of this before. I should’ve found a way for you to live with Charlie from the start.
I’m getting a little sick of carrying you around, Bella.
You’re like my own personal brand of heroin.
Do you think I could be scary?
If I could dream at all, it would be about you, and I’m not ashamed of it.
I’m not going to let you have more than a pound of cake.
The clouds I can handle, but I can’t fight an eclipse.
Jake, please. Don’t make me choose. Because it’ll be him. It’s always been him.”
I’m not leaving you. Not until it’s the end.
I love you. You’re my only reason to stay alive.
No measure of time with you will be long enough. But we’ll start with forever.
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
You are my life now.
I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
It’s like a drug to me. Just like you are.
Forever. Forever, and forever… they’re always the same length.
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…, he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a 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.
I’d been gone a few days, but they seemed like years.
How can I put this so that you’ll believe me… 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.
I will follow you anywhere. Even to death.
