Well, Gran, you might have noticed that my boyfriend glitters.

It’s just something he does in the sun. Don’t worry about it…
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.4

  

Edward stood beside me, casting no reflection, excruciatingly lovely and forever seventeen.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.6

I couldn’t feel anything but despair until I pulled into the familiar parking lot behind Forks High School and spotted Edward leaning motionlessly against his polished silver Volvo, 

like a marble tribute to some forgotten pagan god of beauty.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.7

Despair momentarily vanished; wonder took its place. Even after half a year with him,

I still couldn’t believe that I deserved this degree of good fortune.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.7

You’re only a senior once. Might as well document the experience.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.9

How many times have you been a senior?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.9

But Edward was dead set against any future that changed me. Any future that made me like him—that made me immortal, too. An impasse, he called it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.10

What was so great about mortality? Being a vampire didn’t look like such a terrible thing—not the way the Cullens did it, anyway.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.10

He, for some unfathomable reason, wanted to be with me. Anything he gave me on top of that just threw us more out of balance.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.13

Sometimes it bothered Edward how very comfortable I was with being close to him. He thought he was hazardous to my health—an opinion I rejected vehemently whenever he voiced it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.14

I was hardly ever bad-tempered with Edward, and my tone

made him press his lips together to keep from smiling.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.15

As he intended, no doubt, I forgot all about my worries, 

and concentrated on remembering how to inhale and exhale.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.16

You know, I’ve never had much patience with Romeo.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.17

The movie eventually captured my interest, thanks in large part to Edward whispering Romeo’s lines in my ear—his irresistible, velvet voice made the actor’s voice 

sound weak and coarse by comparison.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.17

Well, I wasn’t going to live without you. But I wasn’t sure how to do it—I knew Emmett and Jasper would never help… so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.19

No matter what might ever happen to me, you are not allowed to hurt yourself!
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.20

I’ll never put you in danger again, so it’s a moot point.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.20

Put me in danger! I thought we’d established that all the bad luck is my fault?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.20

Edward had drawn many careful lines for our physical relationship, with the intent being to keep me alive. Though I respected the need for maintaining a safe distance between my skin and his razor-sharp, venom-coated teeth, I tended to forget about trivial things like that when he was kissing me.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.16

If I develop this film, will you show up in the picture?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.25
