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

The absence of him is everywhere I look.

I’d been broken beyond repair.

You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.

I wanted the monster back and that was plainly wrong.

You look tired. Yeah, I agreed, and shrugged. Near-death experiences do that to me.

We should have been wiser; we should have died yesterday.

He was right – she was beating herself up about hurting his feelings. The girl was a classic martyr. She’d totally been born in the wrong century. She should have lived back when she could have gotten herself fed to some lions for a good cause.

My last night as Isabella Swan. Tomorrow night, I would be Bella Cullen. Though the whole marriage ordeal was a thorn in my side, I had to admit that I liked the sound of that. – bella swan

Why can you believe the lie, but not the truth?

And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.

After a few decades, everyone you know will be dead. Problem solved.

My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn’t like math;in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything.

Alice! You know I love you like a sister! Words. she growled.

I tried to be diplomatic, but mostly I just lied a lot.

I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

Beauty is nothing but a promise of happiness.

I got good grades in school, but I’m not sure if I’m smart or if it just means I can study. I’ve never taken one of those IQ tests, and I don’t want to. It’s so pointless. As long as you enjoy life and have fun and you’re healthy and happy, that’s what matters.

Faith, I am no such fool; everyone for himself in this desert of selfishness which is called life.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

Love is perhaps no more than gratitude for pleasure.

When you’re a working actor and you’re happy to be one, you can’t focus all your energy on acting because you will go crazy. You have to focus as much energy as you can away from yourself.

I’ll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.
