“Something I’ve never seen in all my lives. I’m staring at hope.”

Today is the first and last day of forever.

You are the most beautiful thing in my world.

You dont know how hard it was for me to take you and leave them alive.

It felt almost rude to ignore toe pretty white bed, but we just weren’t going to make it that far.

Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder.

Life and love go on.

Her name is Wanda, not it. You will not touch her. Any mark you leave on her, I will double on your worthless hide.

She was thinking what I think she was thinking, wasn’t she?

Is my mom all right? She’s perfectly fine. don’t worry, Bella, I have no quarrel with her. Unless you didn’t come alone, of course. Light, amused. I’m alone. I’d never been more alone in my entire life.

I was thinking about how disjointedly time seemed to flow, passing in a blur at times, with single images standing out more clearly than others. And then, at other times, every second was significant, etched in my mind.

You don’t get a lot of suicidal vampires.

He was giving up on keeping me alive, letting nature–or rather mob justice–take its course. When he returned, and I was dead, he wouldn’t hold anyone responsible. He would not mourn. All this I could hear in those three words.

There really is something irresistible about a lost cause.

Bears, I muttered, adding a new fear to the pile. That would be just her luck, wouldn’t it? Stray bear in town. OF course it would head straight for Bella.

History was easy, but I don’t know about the Calculus. It seemed like it was making sense, so that probably means I failed.

I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me.

One thing I hope I’ll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.

As a woman, we don’t have to hope to get our dues.

Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.

Rain generate hope in the desert so as her touch in me.  

I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.

God will transform the valley of trouble into a gateway of hope.

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

I hope that having my life and having an education will lengthen my career.
