What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.222
 

One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively.

I wanted to escape the death threats, for just a few hours . . . to be the less-mature, more-reckless Bella who could laugh it off with Jacob, if only briefly.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.231

How can someone so tiny by so annoying?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.268
 

I felt like someone had kicked my legs out from under me. The weeks of stress, of worry… somehow in the middle of all my obsessing over the time, my time had disappeared. My space for sorting through it all, for making plans, had vanished. I was out of time.

Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.271
 

You aren’t going through with this because a sword is hanging over your head. We will take care of the problems, and I will take care of you.

Edward, there’s no point to forever without you. I wouldn’t want one day without you.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.276


If I had found you, there isn’t a doubt in my mind how I would have proceeded. I was that boy, who would have — as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for — gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn’t have quite the same connotations.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.277
