Quotes by Stephenie Meyer

Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder

Odd as this might sound, I suppose I’m glad you’re here, Jacob.

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

He thinks things through too much.

Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior.

I had the strange feeling that this world—not just Melanie, but the entire orb of the planet—did not want me, no matter how much I wanted it.

Life sucks, and then you die...

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.

I'm gonna fight for you, until your heart stops beating.

Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you

The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was. As I would always belong to him, so would he always be mine.

Look after my heart - I've left it with you.

It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful.

I’ve never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy.

I think you’re a danger magnet.

He smiled the kind of smile that would have stopped my heart if it were still beating.

I think you can find the strength to stay away from me for my sake.

I was irrevocably betrothed to him forever.

You’re my own personal brand of heroin.

For almost ninety years I've walked among my kind, and yours...

You are my first, my last, my only love.

Do you realize how incredibly dangerous it is for me to try to be alone with you?

I wasn’t born to make you happy. I was born to make you mine.

The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you — and there’s nothing you can do about it!

I was in the middle of the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make, and it terrified me...

My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone...

I don’t want to leave you, but I’m tired of pretending to be something I’m not.

It’s an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are.

My primary motivation is to make myself worthy of you.

And I knew in that instant, if I’d never really known before, that I was truly, irrevocably in love...

His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday’s hunting trip, literally sparkled...

His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be.

I’d never seen him so completely freed of that carefully cultivated façade. He was both more beautiful...

His eyes were liquid topaz – hard, but with a liquid golden depth.

I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around.

My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must, by necessity, always be midnight for me.

And I don't want to hear that you don't love me, because you do. I can see it in your eyes.

I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella, I can’t live in a world where you don’t exist.

If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.

You don't know how long I've waited for you.

So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?

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

I prefer brunettes.

You are exactly my brand of heroin.

I love you. I want you. Right now.

I don't want to be a monster.

I dream about being with you forever.

I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever.

It's like you've taken half of yourself away with you.

You are my life now.

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

I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

I decided as long as I'm going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.

I'd never given much thought to how I would die

When you can live forever, what do you live for?
