— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"So did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what?"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"And speaking of Italy and sports cars that I stole there, you still owe me a yellow Porsche."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Edward - I wasn't about to send you off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive.
Bella - So let's say my bad luck did crash the plane. What exactly were you going to do about it?
Edward - Why is the plane crashing?
He was trying to hide a smile now.
Bella - The pilots are passed out drunk.
Edward - Easy. I'd fly the plane.
Of course. I pursed my lips and tried again.
Bella - Both engines have exploded and we're falling in a death spiral toward the earth.
Edward - I'd wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I'd run you back to the scene of the accident, and we'd stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.
I stared at him wordlessly.
"What?" he whispered."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

- Bella Swan"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Would you like to hear my story, Bella? It doesn’t have a happy ending—but which of ours does? If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"What did you do to this?" He asked in a horrorstruck voice.
"It didn't want to come out of the dashboard."
"So you felt the need to torture it?"
"You know how I am with tools. No pain was inflicted intentionally."
He shook his head, his face a mask of faux tragedy."You killed it."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"He looks at you like . . . like you're something to eat.

- Mike Newton"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"You are the most dangerous creature I've ever met."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"He is like a drug to 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."

"But if you bring her back damaged again-and I don't care whose fault it is; I don't care if she merely trips, of if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand now mongrel?"
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"I already know how strong you are. You didn't have to break the furniture."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Bella, would you please stop trying to take your clothes off? "
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Edward: 'Tell me what you are really thinking.'
Bella: 'I always tell you what I am thinking.'
'You edit.' He accused.
"Not very much."
"Enough to drive me insane."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Trust me just this once - you are the opposite of ordinary.

- Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share," Alice announced."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I grimaced at him, resisting the impulse to stick my tongue out at him like a five year old."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heart racing in my chest. The blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins. I was perfect - not healed, but as if there had been no wound in the first place. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)
