"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 (New Moon (Twilight Series, Book 2))

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
— J.K. Rowling

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

"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does."
— Stephenie Meyer (New Moon (Twilight Series, Book 2))
