"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...," He murmured.
"What a stupid lamb, " I sighed.
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
— Stephenie Meyer

"Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you.
I'd been broken beyond repair."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, is it not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end?"
— Stephenie Meyer

"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 brilliance, 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 reason for anything."
— Stephenie Meyer

"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 dominant that part might be -- that thirsted for my blood;
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart - I've left it with you."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"'Do I dazzle you?'

'Frequently.'"
— Stephenie Meyer

"I'm here . . . which roughly translated means I would rather die than stay away from you. I'm an idiot."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?"
"You're exactly my brand of heroin."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"If I could dream at all it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

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

"Twilight again, he murmured." Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"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."
— Stephenie Meyer

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

"Of all the things about me that could frighten you, you worry about my driving?"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I coveted you." His smile darkened. "I had no right to want you- but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what's become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire." He shook his head in mock horror."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object. ~ Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"The talking came earlier." I groaned. "What did you hear?" His gold eyes grew very soft. "You said you loved me." "You knew that already," I reminded him, ducking my head. "It was nice to hear, just the same." I hid my face against his shoulder. "I love you," I whispered. "You are my life now," he answered simply."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Forbidden to Remember. Terrified to Forget."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"If you ever repeat what I'm saying right now I'll cheerfully beat you to death.

- Bella Swan"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I promise to love you forever—every single day of forever."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"I hear voices in my head and you're worried that you're the freak."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I could only stare at him like an idiot.

- 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)

"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt to lose."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Does my being half-naked bother you?" - Jacob Black"
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"It's healthy to ditch class now and then.

- Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

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

"Don't be afraid,' he murmured, his velvet voice unintentionally seductive. 'I promise . . .' He hesitated. 'I swear not to hurt you.'

- Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Jacob: "May the best MAN win."
Edward: "Sounds about right, pup!""
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls just did that on TV."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"I touched his face. Look, I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough?
Yes, it is enough, he answered smiling. Enough for forever.
And he leaned down to press his cold lips one more to my throat."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"…this was the 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."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Relax, breathe. I love you."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"There’s something…strange about the way you two are together… The way he watches you—it’s so…protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something. He's very intense about you… and very careful. I feel like I don't really understand your relationship."
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"Now you know...no one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"Is this a joke?"
"Only if you think it's funny"
(Volterra guard, Alice)"
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"Not tonight. Tonight the sky was utterly black. Perhaps there was no moon tonight--a lunar eclipse, a new moon.
"A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn't cold."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"'Amazing,' Edward muttered. 'How can someone so small be so annoying?' ..Alice laughed. 'It's a talent!'"
— Stephenie Meyer

"Is that what you dream about? Becoming a monster?
Not exactly. Mostly I dream about being with you forever.
"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"What if I'm not the superhero? What if I'm the bad guy?"
-Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"A papercut hardly deserves the death penalty."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"Edward’s only human, Bella. He’s going to react like any other boy. ~Angela Webber"
— Stephenie Meyer

"Bears don't want to eat people. We don't taste that good." He grinned at me in the dark cab. "Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you'd taste good."
"Thanks so much," I said, looking away. He wasn't the first person to tell me that."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"I can't live in a world where you don't exist. - Bella Swan"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Jacob: "Bella, I'm not going to lie.....you look hideous."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"You are . . . well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence."
-Edward"
— Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)

"I gave up with an angry humph. 'So that's it. You won't sleep with me until we're married.'
'Technically, I can't ever sleep with you.'
I rolled my eyes. 'Very mature, Edward.'"
— 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)
