“Just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it that way. -The Host”

I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.

Edward was always focused, watching and also listening to what others couldn’t see.

I’d rather die than be with anyone but you.

Despite my best efforts I’ve seen you naked before – doesn’t do much for me so no worries.

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.

God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.

Heartbreak does not have to be a meaningless experience. For many, it is a spiritual catalyst – a pathway to awakening to ones deepest desires for love, purpose and connection.

Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

What if desire wasn’t an urge to be tamed, but a beacon of truth to be followed?

There is an excellent correlation between giving society what it wants and making money, and almost no correlation between the desire to make money and how much money one makes.

The moment you say yes to acting on your desire is the real beginning.

Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.

Give it your all. Give it away. Your desires are being held in the hand of the cosmos with incredibly sturdy care. Life is not testing you. She is rooting for you.
