"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

"'Do I dazzle you?'

'Frequently.'"
— 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)

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

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

"It's an off day when somebody doesn't tell me how edible I smell."
— 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'm with the vampires, of course."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"How old are you?"
"Seventeen," he answered promptly.
"And how long have you been seventeen?"
His lips twitched as he stared at the road. "A while."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"I may not be human, but I am a man. -Edward Cullen"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"As long as I knew I was going to hell, I decided to do it thoroughly.

- Edward Cullen"
— 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)

"So eager for eternal damnation."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Edward. Edward. My life and his were twisted into a single strand. Cut one, and you cut both. If he were gone, I would not be able to live through that. If I were gone, he wouldn't live through it, either. And a world without Edward seemed completely pointless. Edward had to exist."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

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

"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)

"…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)

"You're impossible. 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 when I was away. When I told you I didn't want you, it was the blackest kind of blasphemy."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"What do I look like? The Wizard of Oz? You need a brain? You need a heart? Go ahead. Take mine. Take everything I have. "
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"You never know how much time you'll have."
— Stephenie Meyer (The Host)

"It felt like the heat of my anger should physically burn him..."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw him."
— Stephenie Meyer

"There's no good story without romance."
— Stephenie Meyer (The Host)

"I love you, it's a poor excuse for what I'm doing but it's true.
-Edward"
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Edward Cullen is staring at you."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"It seemed hideously ironic that the puzzle pieces would fit together just in time for all of them to be destroyed."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"You're going to worry about conventions when we're past the end of the world?"
— Stephenie Meyer (The Host)

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

"I'm no good for you Bella."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"I've found heaven right smack in the middle of Hell."
— Stephenie Meyer

"Your hair looks like a haystack, but I like it.
-Edward"
— Stephenie Meyer (The Twilight Saga)

"You smell just exactly the same as always," he went on. "So maybe this is hell. I don't care. I'll take it."
"I'm not dead," I interrupted. "And neither are you!..." I struggled in his arms, and his brow furrowed in confusion.
"What was that?" he asked politely."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"So in plain English, are we friends now?"
I pondered that for a second. "Friends..." I repeated. I didn't like the sound of that. It wasn't enough."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"Bella: We're going to tell Alice that I ran right to the clothes. We're going to tell her I spent hours in there playing dress-up. We're going to lie."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever." ~ Bella"
— Stephenie Meyer

"I'm in love with you, Bella. Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you feel that way, but I need the truth out there so you know your options.

-Jacob"
— Stephenie Meyer

"A girl can dream."
— Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)

"Aro, will you ask Jane to stop attacking my wife?"
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"Ian: You. Will. Not. Leave. Me."
— Stephenie Meyer (The Host)

"Carlisle told me about that, and I don't care, Edward. I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you - it's yours already!"
— Stephenie Meyer

"Don't ever let anyone tell you that high school is supposed to be fun. High school is to be endured. College is fun."
— Stephenie Meyer

"If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?"
— Stephenie Meyer

"Your hold is permanent and unbreakable," he whispered. "Never doubt that."- Edward "
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"That's the beautiful thing about being human, things change.
-Edward"
— Stephenie Meyer

"Bella: "Why am I covered in feathers?"
Edward: "I bit a pillow. Or two."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"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)
