I could imagine the frustration pulling his black eyebrows together and crumpling his forehead. If I’d been there, I might have laughed. Don’t give yourself a brain hemorrhage, Jacob, I would have told him. Just spit it out.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.4
The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something more expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when you used them in casual conversation.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.6
There’s no law that says I can’t cook in my own house.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.6
My dad was not a man of many words, and the effort he had put into trying to orchestrate a sit-down dinner with me made it clear there were an uncharacteristic number of words on his mind.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.7
It worked — your cooking skills have me soft as a marshmallow.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.9
So I’m thinking maybe you deserve a parole for good behavior. For a teenager, you’re amazingly non-whiney.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.10
Bella, this is more of a request than a demand, okay? You’re free. But I’m hoping you’ll use that freedom… judiciously.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.11
It was against the rules for normal people — human people like me and Charlie — to know about the clandestine world full of myths and monsters that existed secretly around us. I knew all about that world — and I was in no small amount of trouble as a result.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.13
With Jacob there is a… conflict. A conflict about the friendship thing, I mean. Friendship doesn’t always seem to be enough for Jake.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.14
Isn’t Edward up for a little healthy competition?
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.14
You and Billy gossip like old women.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.14
I’m shocked, Sheriff. That’s a federal crime.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.15
I wrenched the door out of my way — ridiculously eager — and there he was, my personal miracle.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.17
Staring into his eyes always made me feel extraordinary — sort of like my bones were turning spongy. I was also a little lightheaded, but that could have been because I’d forgotten to keep breathing. Again.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.17
His touch brought with it the strangest sense of relief — as if I’d been in pain and that pain had suddenly ceased.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.17
The idea of being in danger from even the most deadly of humans while I was with Alice or Edward was downright hilarious.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.21
I’ll let you pay me back, if that makes you happy. If you want, I can charge you interest.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.22
There’s no hurry. I won’t let anyone hurt you. You can take all the time you need.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.25
I want to be a monster, too.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.25
Monsters are not a joke, Bella.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.25
You know it’s out of the question for you to be around a werewolf unprotected, Bella. And it would break the treaty if any of us cross over onto their land. Do you want us to start a war?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.28
I think it’s something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart — not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end…
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
It’s a bit late for me to worry about who I fall in love with. But even without the warning, I seem to have managed fairly well.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29
If we could bottle your luck, we’d have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.31
My bad luck had nothing to do with it. The werewolves came back because the vampires did.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.31
I knew I must be patient with Edward. It wasn’t that he was unreasonable, it was just that he didn’t understand. He had no idea how very much I owed Jacob Black — my life many times over, and possibly my sanity, too.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.32
If Jacob hadn’t helped me… I’m not sure what you would have come home to. I owe him better than this, Edward.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.32
I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
If I’d never left, you wouldn’t feel the need to go risk your life to comfort a dog.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
I don’t know how to phrase this properly. It’s going to sound cruel, I suppose. But I’ve come too close to losing you in the past. I know what it feels like to think I have. I am not going to tolerate anything dangerous.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Please make a conscious effort to keep yourself safe. I’ll do everything I can, but I would appreciate a little help.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33
Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.34
Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-t-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I’d allow it, she’d love to dress me every day — perhaps several times a day — like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.36
I’m sure I still have boundaries — like the continental U.S., for example.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.38
You’re really not that good a mechanic, Edward. Maybe you should have Rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if Mike decides to let you help, you know. Not that it wouldn’t be fun to watch his face if Rosalie showed up to help.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.41
I knew I had about three seconds before he would sigh and slide me deftly away, saying something about how we’d risked my life enough for one afternoon.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.44
He pulled my face away from his, breaking my hold with ease — he probably didn’t even realize that I was using all my strength.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.44
I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.44
You know how I am with tools. No pain was inflicted intentionally.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.47
You aren’t the only one who’s been trapped in this house, you know.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.49
The outside world holds no interest for me without you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.49
I’ll do my time without complaining when I’ve done something wrong, Dad, but
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.54
You’re a rotten liar, Dad.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.54
It’s not like I’m headed off to Vegas to be a showgirl or anything. I’m going to see Mom.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.54
Interceded? You threw me to the sharks!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.56
Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen. They’d sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they’d each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.5
Please tell me you are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.58
This was beyond the seventh circle of Hades; even worse was realizing that Edward had known this was coming. No wonder he’d seemed so smug in the car.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.59
I really wish you were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But… I am a… virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.59
Keep trying, Bella. I know you’ll do the right thing. You’re a good person.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.60
I wasn’t in the mood to be alone, but I certainly wasn’t going to go back downstairs to hang out with my Dad, just in case he thought of some topic of sex education that he hadn’t touched on before; I shuddered.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.61
In that instant when they shift from one form to the other, they don’t really even exist. The future can’t hold them…
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.63
Shut your window if you want me to stay away tonight. I’ll understand.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.64
Renée is so much more… perceptive than Charlie in some ways. It was making me jumpy.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.66
Your mother has a very interesting mind. Almost childlike, but very insightful. She sees things differently than other people.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.66
There’s something… strange about the way you two are together. The way he watches you — it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
He’s very intense about you… and very careful. I feel like I don’t really understand your relationship. Like there’s some secret I’m missing…
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
The way you move — you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.68
I really missed you, Bells. The food around here sucks when you’re gone.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.70
I knew Jake inside and out. It shouldn’t be that complicated to figure out his motivations.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.73
I think… I think he was checking. Checking to make sure. That I’m human, I mean.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.75
If I asked you to do something, would you trust me?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.75
I’d forgotten how much this face bothered me. Though I’d gotten to know Sam pretty well before the Cullens had come back — to like him, even — I’d never been able to completely shake the resentment I felt when Jacob mimicked Sam’s expression. It was a stranger’s face. He wasn’t my Jacob when he wore it.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.76
With a sense of astonishment, I realized that Jacob looked dangerous to them. How odd.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.77
Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.77
Edward cut him off mid-sentence, and his face was abruptly frightening — truly frightening. For a second, he looked like… like a vampire.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.79
Better frightened than lied to.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.81
She’s tougher than you think. And she’s been through worse.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.81
It’s nothing, Bella. Jacob just has a good memory, that’s all.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.82
It’s his own fault if he doesn’t like the things I remember, though.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.82
I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.83
I miss you every day, Bella. It’s not the same without you.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.83
I wasn’t about to send you off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.88
I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.88
Did you see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down.
Mike Newton, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
There’s something about Edward. He’s always so… confident. I have a feeling he can take care of himself.
Ben Cheney, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
It seemed too dangerous to be human — just begging for trouble. Someone like me shouldn’t be human. Someone with my luck ought to be a little less helpless.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.92
I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around.
Emmett Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
Haven’t you noticed yet, Bella, that Edward is just the teeniest bit prone to overreaction?
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95
Alice was certainly just as capable of crippling my truck as Edward was.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95
For some reason — impending mania, perhaps — this really irritated me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.96
As we walked, I felt myself settling into another version of myself, the self I had been with Jacob. A little younger, a little less responsible. Someone who might, on occasion, do something really stupid for no good reason.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.101
Can you listen, or will you be interrupting me with rude comments about my friends?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.103
The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent!
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.104
Being apart… It didn’t work out so well for either of us.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.108
He thought you were the one person in the world with as much reason to hate the Cullens as he does. Sam feels sort of… betrayed that you would just let them back into your life like they never hurt you.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.109
I love him. Not because he’s beautiful or because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.110
What is a valid reason for someone to love someone else? Since apparently I’m doing it wrong.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.110
You know, Jacob, you’re awfully self-righteous — considering that you’re a werewolf and all.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
Normal humans can’t throw motorcycles around the way you can.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
He really hates it when I do things he considers… risky.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.115
At least he can be a grown-up about this. He knows that hurt ing you would hurt me — and so he never would. You don’t seem to care about that at all!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.115
Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.117
Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.118
You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
So, did you want to hear about Sam, or did you want to scream at me some more for things that are out of my control?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121
I’m a pro at weird.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121There are
no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.123
It’s awful. No privacy, no secrets. Everything you’re ashamed of, laid out for everyone to see.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.125
Edward’s never in my head. He only wishes.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.126
I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. You are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.130
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.4

Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.83
I wasn’t about to send you off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.88
I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.88
Did you see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down.
Mike Newton, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
There’s something about Edward. He’s always so… confident. I have a feeling he can take care of himself.
Ben Cheney, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.90
It seemed too dangerous to be human — just begging for trouble. Someone like me shouldn’t be human. Someone with my luck ought to be a little less helpless.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.92
I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around.
Emmett Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
Haven’t you noticed yet, Bella, that Edward is just the teeniest bit prone to overreaction?
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.93
I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95
Alice was certainly just as capable of crippling my truck as Edward was.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95
For some reason — impending mania, perhaps — this really irritated me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.96
As we walked, I felt myself settling into another version of myself, the self I had been with Jacob. A little younger, a little less responsible. Someone who might, on occasion, do something really stupid for no good reason.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.101
Can you listen, or will you be interrupting me with rude comments about my friends?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.103
The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent!
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.104
Being apart… It didn’t work out so well for either of us.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.108
He thought you were the one person in the world with as much reason to hate the Cullens as he does. Sam feels sort of… betrayed that you would just let them back into your life like they never hurt you.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.109
I love him. Not because he’s beautiful or because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.110
What is a valid reason for someone to love someone else? Since apparently I’m doing it wrong.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.110
You know, Jacob, you’re awfully self-righteous — considering that you’re a werewolf and all.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.111
Normal humans can’t throw motorcycles around the way you can.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.112
He really hates it when I do things he considers… risky.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.115
At least he can be a grown-up about this. He knows that hurt ing you would hurt me — and so he never would. You don’t seem to care about that at all!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.115
Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.117
Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.118
You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.119
So, did you want to hear about Sam, or did you want to scream at me some more for things that are out of my control?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121
I’m a pro at weird.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.121There are
no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.123
It’s awful. No privacy, no secrets. Everything you’re ashamed of, laid out for everyone to see.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.125
Edward’s never in my head. He only wishes.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.126
I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. You are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 5, p.130
