"More than that, I thought of Bella and requited love. She couldn't love me the way I loved her - such an overpowering, all-consuming, crushing love would probably break her fragile body. But she felt strongly enough. Enough to subdue the instinctive fear. Enough to want to be with me. And being with her was the greatest happiness I had ever known."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"Could a dead frozen heart break It felt like mine would... Could a dead frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to." -Midnight Sun"

"Did ya get in a couple of good swipes?" Emmett asked eagerly.
"No! Of course not."
"No, not really? You really didn't attack him?"
"Emmett!" I protested.
"Aw, what a waste," Emmett groaned. "And here you're probably the one person who could take him--since he can't get in your head to cheat--and you had a perfect excuse, too." He sighed. "I've been dying to see how he'd do without that advantage."
I glared at him frostily. "I would never."
— Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn)

"I'm perfectly capable of driving myself home!"
Of course she was - I just wasn't capable of letting her go."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"I stared into her eyes, wide under the thick fringe of lashes, and yearned for sleep. Not for oblivion, as I had before, not to escape boredom, but because I wanted to dream. Maybe, if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her. I could not dream of her. She should not dream of me."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"Well, I'm going," she said. This didn't surprise me. She was responsible - she always did the right thing.
She was my opposite.
"I'll see you later then," I said, trying for casual again, staring down at the whirling lid.
And, by the way, I adore you...in frightening, dangerous ways."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"Her heart fluttered; my dead heart suddenly felt warmer."

"If leaving is the right thing to do..." And it had to be the right thing, didn't it? There was no reckless angel. Bella didn't belong with me. "Then I'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you, to keep you safe."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"I was almost angry that she was leaving me. I hadn't had enough time with her. She couldn't go, not yet."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"So the waitress was pretty, was she?"
She raised the eyebrow again. "You really didn't notice?"
As if any woman could hope to capture my attention from Bella. Absurd, again."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"The delicate framework of her bones, the thin sheath of her pale skin - like silk stretched over glass, incredibly soft and easy to shatter. She was too vulnerable for this world. She needed a protector. And, through some twisted mismanagement of destiny, I was the closest thing available.

— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good."
— W.H. Auden (Selected Poems)

"Attraction. It was a problematic thing to contemplate.So many sides to it, so many different meanings and levels. Not the same thing as love, but tied up in it inextricably."

"She couldn't love me the way I loved her -- such an overpowering, all-consuming, crushing love would probably break her fragile body. But she felt strongly enough. Enough to subdue the instinctive fear. Enough to want to be with me. And being with her was the greatest happiness I had ever known.
For a while -- as I was all alone and hurting no one else for a change -- I allowed myself to feel the happiness without dwelling on the tragedy. Just to be happy that she cared for me. Just to exult in the triumph of winning her affection. Just to imagine day after day of sitting close to her, hearing her voice and earning her smiles."
— Stephenie Meyer (Midnight Sun)
