-Bella Swan, Chapter 3, p.48

I looked into Edward’s shining, triumphant eyes and knew that I was winning, too. Because nothing else mattered but that I could stay with him.”
-Bella, p.49

-Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.83

“You’re supposed to be a part of my life- I can feel that, and so can you.”
-Bella (to Jacob), pg.298

~Edward~

“Charlie, I realize that I’ve gone about this out of order. Traditionally, I should have asked you first. I mean no disrespect, but since Bella has already said yes and I don’t want to diminish her choice in the matter, instead of asking you for her hand, I’m asking for your blessing. We’re getting married, Charlie. I love her more than anything in the world, more than my own life, and – by some miracle – she loves me that way, too. Will you give us your blessing?”

-Jacob, p.247

“It had once probably been a big mixing bowl, but she’d bent the bowl back in on itself until it was shaped almost exactly like a dog dish. I had to be impressed with her quick craftsmanship. And her attention to detail. She’d scratched the word Fido into the side. Excellent handwriting.”
-Jacob, p.294

-Jacob, p.294

“You know how to drown a blonde Rosealie? Glue a mirror to the bottom of a pool.” Jacob, p. 271

“Silently, I lifted my doggy bowl off the floor. Then, with a quick, powerful flip of my wrist, I threw it into the back of Blondie’s head so hard that – with an earsplitting bang – it smashed flat before it ricocheted across the room and snapped the round top piece off the thick newel post at the foot of the stairs.”
-Jacob, p.304

“Everything inside me came undone as I stared at the tiny porcelain face of the half-vampire, half-human baby. All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings to a bunch of balloons. Everything that made me who I was – my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self – disconnected from me in that second – snip, snip, snip – and floated up into space. I was not left drifting. A new string held me where I was. The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood. It was the baby girl in the blond vampire’s arms that held me here now. Renesmee.”
-Jacob Black, p.360

“Why didn’t I just walk away? Oh right, because I’m an idiot.”
-Jake , pg. 185

“Back in the day, you could count on Paul for a fight pretty much whenever. You didn’t have to hit him then – any mild insult would do. It didn’t take a lot to flip him out of control.

-Jacob Black, p.147

“All this mandatory love-at-first-sight was completely sickening!”
-Jacob Black, p.147

Only I was pretty sure the testing they did to make sure you weren’t on steroids would probably turn up some really freaky crap in my blood.”
-Jacob Black, p.156

“I wondered – would a bullet through my temple actually kill me or just leave a really big mess for me to clean up?”
-Jacob Black, p.148

“Right now, I wouldn’t mind dismantling a haystack. At least that would give me something to do.”
-Jacob Black, p.150

“I felt like – like I didn’t know what. Like this wasn’t real. Like I was in some Goth version of a bad sitcom. Instead of being the A/V dweeb about to ask the head cheerleader to the prom, I was the finished-second-place werewolf about to ask the vampire’s wife to shack up and procreate. Nice.”
-Jacob, pg. 185

~Alice~

“Her fashion sense hasn’t improved as much as her balance.”
-Alice, pg. 409

“Oh, give her some credit. She wasn’t going to do anything. You’d want a closer look, too.”

-Emmett, p.491

-Emmett, p.511

“Oooo, scary”
-Emmet, page 517

~Conversations~
