Twilight Quotes

Edward Cullen

“No blood, no foul.”

“Someone has to spread the good news that we survived.”

“I saved your life – I don’t owe you anything.”

“I hope you enjoy disappointment.”

“I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be.”

“I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.”

“I think your friends are angry with me for stealing you.”

“I’m just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may.”

“What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy?”

“Do I dazzle you?”

“You’re not a magnet for accidents — that’s not a broad enough classification. You are a magnet for trouble. If there is anything dangerous within a ten-mile radius, it will invariably find you.”

“Your number was up the first time I met you.”

“It’s harder than it should be — keeping track of you. Usually I can find someone very easily, once I’ve heard their mind before.”

“The only guess I have is that maybe your mind doesn’t work the same way the rest of theirs do. Like your thoughts are on the AM frequency and I’m only getting FM.”

“I hear voices in my mind and you’re worried that you’re the freak?

“You don’t care if I’m a monster? If I’m not human?”

“I’d rather know what you’re thinking, even if what you’re thinking is insane.”

“We’re usually very good at what we do. Sometimes we make mistakes. Me, for example, allowing myself to be alone with you.”

“I don’t want to be a monster.”

“I can’t be sure, of course, but I’d compare it to living on tofu and soy milk; we call ourselves vegetarians, our little inside joke.”

“You were right, I’m definitely fighting fate trying to keep you alive.”

“Hadn’t you noticed? I’m breaking all the rules now.”

“Trust me just this once, you are the opposite of ordinary.”

“You need a healthy dose of fear. Nothing could be more beneficial for you”

“I told you, you don’t see yourself clearly at all. You’re not like anyone I’ve ever known. You fascinate me.”

“People are predictable. But you, you never do what I expect. You always take me by surprise.”

“It’s too easy to be myself with you.”

“Would you understand what I meant if I said I was only human?”

“I’m the world’s best predator, aren’t I? Everything about me invites you in — my voice, my face, even my smell. As if I need any of that!”

“Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.”

“To me, it was like you were some kind of demon, summoned straight from my own personal hell to ruin me.”

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

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb… what a sick, masochistic lion”

“You’re intoxicated by my very presence.”

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

“In the last hundred years or so, I never imagined anything like this. I didn’t believe I would ever find someone I wanted to be with, in another way than my brothers and sisters. And then to find, even though it’s all new to me, that I’m good at it… at being with you.”

“Bring on the shackles, I’m your prisoner.”

“Isn’t it supposed to be like this? The glory of first love, and all that. It’s incredible, isn’t it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?”

“I’m new at this; you’re resurrecting the human in me, and everything feels stronger because it’s fresh.”

“You only have to risk your life every second you spend with me, that’s surely not much. You only have to turn your back on nature, on humanity… what’s that worth?”’

“Just because I’m resisting the wine doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the bouquet.”

“I may not be a human, but I am a man.”

“And you’re worried, not because you’re headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won’t approve of you, correct?”

“I know that at some point, something I tell you or something you see is going to be too much. And then you’ll run away from me, screaming as you go. I won’t stop you. I want this to happen, because I want you to be safe. And yet, I want to be with you. The two desires are impossible to reconcile.”

“I love you. It’s a poor excuse for what I’m doing, but it’s still true.”

“It’s like you’ve taken half my self away with you.”

“I don’t seem to be strong enough to stay away from you, so I suppose that you’ll get your way… whether it kills you or not.”

“That’s the beautiful thing about being human. Things change.”

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

“So ready for this to be the end, for this to be the twilight of your life, though your life has barely started. You’re ready to give up everything.”

Bella Swan

“I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory.”

“It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.”

“Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.”

“Good luck tended to avoid me.”

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

“My mother is part albino.”

“I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.”

“I felt a surge of pity, and relief. Pity because, as beautiful as they were, they were outsiders, clearly not accepted. Relief that I wasn’t the only newcomer here, and certainly not the most interesting by any standard.”

“I’d noticed that his eyes were black – coal black.”

“For an instant, I felt a thrill of genuine fear, raising the hair on my arms. The look only lasted a second, but it chilled me more than the freezing wind.”

“It seemed excessive for them to have both looks and money. But as far as I could tell, life worked that way most of the time. It didn’t look as if it bought them any acceptance here.”

“When I came here as a child, he would always remove the bullets as soon as he walked in the door. I guess he considered me old enough now not to shoot myself by accident, and not depressed enough to shoot myself on purpose.”

“I was sure, though, in the instant our eyes met, that he didn’t look harsh or unfriendly as he had the last time I’d seen him. He looked merely curious again, unsatisfied in some way.”

“When he touched me, it stung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us.”

“Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair.”

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

“A low oath made me aware that someone was with me, and the voice was impossible not to recognize. Two long, white hands shot out protectively in front of me, and the van shuddered to a stop a foot from my face, the large hands fitting providentially into a deep dent in the side of the van’s body.”

“How did you get over here so fast?”

“I tried to think of a logical solution that could explain what I had just seen — a solution that excluded the assumption that I was insane.”

“I don’t like to lie – so there’d better be a good reason why I’m doing it.”

“I was consumed by the mystery Edward presented. And more than a little obsessed by Edward himself.”

“I wondered to myself why no one else had seen him standing so far away, before he was suddenly, impossibly saving my life. With chagrin, I realized the probable cause — no one else was as aware of Edward as I always was. No one else watched him the way I did. How pitiful.”

“I couldn’t allow him to have this level of influence over me. It was pathetic. More than pathetic, it was unhealthy.”

“I turned slowly, unwillingly. I didn’t want to feel what I knew I would feel when I looked at his too-perfect face.”

“I wasn’t interesting. And he was. Interesting and brilliant and mysterious perfect and beautiful and possibly able to lift full-sized vans with one hand.”

“It felt like the heat of my anger should physically burn him, but he only seemed more amused.”

“It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.”

“He was dangerous. He’d been trying to tell me that all along.”

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

“It doesn’t matter to me what you are.”

“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

“There was uncertainty in his voice. He was really giving me a choice — I was free to refuse, and part of him hoped for that. It was a vain hope.”

“I wanted to close that little distance, to reach out and touch him, but I was afraid he wouldn’t like me to.”

“One side of his mouth pulled up into my favorite uneven smile.”

“I’m absolutely ordinary — well, except for bad things like all the near-death experiences and being so clumsy that I’m almost disabled.”

“I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me.”

“It must be a hard thing, to be a father; living in fear that your daughter would meet a boy she liked, but also having to worry if she didn’t.”

“I’ve never minded being alone — I’m too much like you.”

“There was nothing about him that could be improved upon.”

“There was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. It was an impossibility.”

“His cold touch on my skin never failed to make my heart thud erratically. Twice, when that happened, I caught a look on his face that made me sure he could somehow hear it.”

“I was wishing that I could believe that you were real. And I was wishing that I wasn’t afraid.”

“So what you’re saying is, I’m your brand of heroin?”

“You already know how I feel, of course. I’m here… which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you.”

“He hesitated — not in the normal way, the human way. Not the way a man might hesitate before he kissed a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how he would be received. Perhaps he would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than the kiss itself. Edward hesitated to test himself, to see if this was safe, to make sure he was still in control of his need. And then his cold, marble lips pressed very softly against mine.”

“There was no way around it; I couldn’t resist him in anything.”

“Just give me a minute to restart my heart.”

“Yeah, it’s an off day when I don’t get somebody telling me how edible I smell.”

“Every time he touched me, in even the most casual way, my heart had an audible reaction.”

“But it won’t be all right when I’m not with you.”

“Immortality must grant endless patience.”

“I’ll be the first to admit that I have no experience with relationships. But it just seems logical… a man and woman have to be somewhat equal… as in, one of them can’t always be swooping in and saving the other one. They have to save each other equally”

“His eyes were melting all my fury. It was impossible to fight with him when he cheated like that.”

“I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn’t that enough?”

Jacob Black

Jacob Black:
“You see, the cold ones are the natural enemies of the wolf—well, not the wolf, really, but the wolves that turn into men, like our ancestors. You would call them werewolves.”

“There’s always a risk for humans to be around the cold ones, even if they’re civilized like this clan was. You never know when they might get too hungry to resist.”

“So do you think we’re a bunch of superstitious natives or what?”
