“Maybe you’ll get lucky. I said bleakly, lurching on my feet. Maybe I’ll get hit by a truck on my way back.”

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.

I was in disbelief that I’d just explained my dreary life to this bizarre, beautiful boy who may or may not despise me.

Bella, can you drop the rock, please? Carefully. Don’t hurt yourself.

The absence of him is everywhere I look.

Bella, there’s a part of you that loves me.

What were you two doing last night, discussing the national debt?

Happiness expanded like an explosion inside me – so extreme, so violent that I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.

I always needed that extra fantasy world. I had to have another world I could be in at the same time.

Edward thought he was going to ruin Bella’s life and he made her happy. And that really was everything for him.

You can’t run with vampires. Cuz they’re fast. Yea? well, we’re faster.

I wondered how long it could last. Maybe someday, years from now.If the pain would decrease to the point where I could bear it. I would be able to look back on those few short months that would always be the best of my life.

My first language, the true language of the soul spoken only on our planet of origin, had no word for betrayal or traitor. Or even loyalty- because without the opposite, the concept had no meaning.

Fire and ice, somehow existing together without destroying each other. More proof that I belonged with him.

He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.

I want to be a monster too.

Did you know, you’re sort of beautiful?’ ‘You hit your head pretty hard, didn’t you?

Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan, you don’t need to be coy, Roy, just get yourself free. Hop on the bus, Gus, you don’t need to discuss much, just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free.

Maybe a first love exists to remind you to be brave in the moment, to stand up for your feelings, instead of shrinking back in the face of potential loneliness.

But I want to be the first back to have back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.

As we got back on the right track last season, including making up an eight-point gap in a few games, we just need to stay calm.

Looking back, now, I realize that you only ever need one person who lights up that way when you enter a room.

Regardless of whether they loved us back or treated us fairly or understood our shortcomings.

When I go back in to re-record a line. I’m the icing on the cake, but the cake is the thing.

You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.
