There was a different ending to 'New Moon' originally. It was a much quieter book. It was very much all in Bella's head.

Those who lived in peaceful nations had looked the other way as members of their own species starved on their door step.

Her scent blazed in my throat and I was glad. It was a pain that meant she was alive. As long as I burned, she was safe.

It’s just been my experience that some kinds of working relationships are better motivated by fear than by monetary gain.

After a few minutes, he asked, real quietly, if you turned into an animal, too. And I said, ‘She wishes she was that cool!

I had a secret that I was bound to protect but a secret that i was not to share. A secert that suddenly he knew all about.

But most significant in this tidal wave of happiness was the surest fact of all: I was with Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen

For one half second, I wondered what it would feel like to put my hand in the fire. What it would feel like when I burned.

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

I’m glad I came. I didn’t think I would be. But it’s good to see you… one more time. Not as sad as I’d thought it would be.

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

Ian paused and leaned closer to me so that I couldn't seem to see anything around his face, just snow and sapphire and ink.

It was all very childish. Why on earth should Edward have to leave for Jacob to come over? Weren't we past this immaturity?

Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut.

You’re not making my mistakes, Bella. You sound like you’re scared silly, and I’m guessing it’s because you’re afraid of me.

Nice girl who knew cars. Wow. I stared at her face harder, wishing I knew how to make it work. C’mon, Jake – imprint already.

I felt like I was staring out across an ocean that I was going to have to swim from shore to shore before I could rest again.

I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that's not actually the case. - Edward Cullen

It was very relaxing to be away from civilization, and this bothered me. I should not have found the loneliness so welcoming.

Sometimes I think you like me better as a wolf." "Sometimes I do. It probably has something to do with the way you CAN'T TALK.

It's not a good feeling--knowing that you profoundly deserve the title of monster. It's better to be kind than to feel guilty.

How did people do this - swallow all their fears and trust someone else so implicitly with every imperfection and fear they had.

When I was 8, I was reading 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Pride and Prejudice' and all that, not knowing it wasn't my reading level.

Sometimes, fact mixed with fiction so thoroughly that, though no lies were told, it was hard to remember what was strictly true.

"Aren't you hungry?" he asked, distracted. "No." I didn't feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full - of butterflies.

Do you think I’ll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?

It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.

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 Swan

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.

Body armor. Four thousand pounds of body armor. And missile-proof glass? Nice. What had happened to good old-fashioned bulletproof?

Alice: "No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with you." Bella: "Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood.

I know Okay, Sorry. I am. Look, I'm human. It's hard to be fair sometimes. We don't always feel the right thing, do the right thing

I had never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love doesn't seem like such a bad way to go.

The story was a sleeping girl in a narrow bed Dark hair thick and wild and twisted like seaweed across the pillow... Bella's Lullaby

I don't want to be a vampire. A lot of other people do and I think it's that dual nature - we have, you know, terrifying/intriguing.

I ached for the difference between Carlisle and me - that he could touch her so gently, without fear, knowing he would never harm her.

The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.

If you turned the fabric of our lives over, I imagined the design on the backside would be woven in the bleak grays of doubt and fear.

I glared at him. "I may not die now... but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer. And I'm going to get old.

Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. it was an impossibility.

My name is Jared Howe. I haven't spoken to another human being in more than two years, so I'm sure I must seem...a little crazy to you.

The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!” “That's all I needed to hear.

I knew I was too late—and I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited any desire to live.

What a marshmallow. You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.

Charlie took my hand and, in a symbol as old as the world, placed it in Edward’s. I touched the cool miracle of his skin, and I was home.

If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn't be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.

i want to stay with you." it was easier to say in the darkness, knowing as i spoke my voice would betray me, my hopeless addiction to him.

He didn't ask what I was thinking, which was out of character for him. I guessed that meant that he was just as nervous as I suddenly was.

The boy in the pearl gray suit could have been Jane's twin. His hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely.

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." -Bella
