Our venom is the only thing that leaves a scar.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.287

Before I tell you my story, you must understand that there are places in our world, Bella, where the life span of the never-aging is measured in weeks, and not centuries.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.287


I shuddered at the image in my head, at the word feed. But Jasper wasn’t worried about frightening me, not overprotective like Edward always was.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.288

If not for the Volturi, the rest of us would be quickly exposed.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.288


I frowned at the way he pronounced the name — with respect, almost gratitude. The idea of the Volturi as the good guys in any sense was hard to accept.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.288

My instincts told me that there was danger, that the angel had meant it when she spoke of killing, but my judgment overruled my instincts. I had not been taught to fear women, but to protect them.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.294


When you live for the fight, for the blood, the relationships you form are tenuous and easily broken.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.299

In so many years of slaughter and carnage, I’d lost nearly all of my humanity. I was undeniably a nightmare, a monster of the grisliest kind.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.300


After a century of instant gratification, I found self-discipline… challenging.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.301


And you ducked your head, like a good Southern gentleman, and said, ‘I’m sorry, ma’am.’
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.301


You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.301


Jasper shows up, covered in battle scars, towing this little freak who greets them all by name, knows everything about them, and wants to know which room she can move into.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.302


Does it occur to anyone else that the only possible threat in the area that would call for the creation of an army is… us?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.303


Damn it. Damn Laurent to the deepest pit of hell where he belongs.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.307


We would win, but we would lose. Some 
wouldn’t survive.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 13, p.309


You don’t get to be human again, Bella. This is a once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.311

Sure, I thought to myself. Trust him. He wasn’t the one who was going to have to sit behind and wonder whether or not the core of his existence was going to come home.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.312


He was so beautiful that it made it hard sometimes to think about anything else, hard to concentrate on Phil’s troubles or RenĂ©e’s apologies or hostile vampire armies. I was only human.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.315

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

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.315

I hate being babysat.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.316



Human blood makes us the strongest, though only fractionally. Jasper’s been thinking about cheating — adverse as he is to the idea, he’s nothing if not practical — but he won’t suggest it. He knows what Carlisle will say.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317


We aren’t going to change who we are.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317

If something helped even the odds… and then I shuddered, realizing I was willing to have a stranger die to protect him. I was horrified at myself, but not entirely able to deny it, either.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317

Do me a favor and challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. It would be a good experience for him.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317


I was pleased to have an option besides being babysat. There was a tiny bit more dignity in spending the day with Jacob.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.318

It’s not easy to ignore someone when he’s shouting.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.319

I wanted to make both of them get out of their cars and shake hands and be friends — be Edward and Jacob rather than vampire and werewolf. I
t was as if I had those two stubborn magnets in my hands again, and I was holding them together, trying to force nature to reverse herself
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.319


Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.321

While he slept, every trace of defensiveness and bitterness disappeared and suddenly he was the boy who had been my very best friend before all the werewolf nonsense had gotten in the way. He looked so much younger. He looked like my Jacob.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.323


 There was just something about him being the one to make the choice — to want to keep me enough that he wouldn’t just allow me to be changed, he would act to keep me. It was childish, but I liked the idea that his lips would be the last good thing I would feel. Even more embarrassingly, something I would never say aloud, I wanted his venom to poison my system. It would make me belong to him in a tangible, quantifiable way.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.324

I’m in love with you, Bella. Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know you don’t feel that way, but I need the truth out there so that you know your options. I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.327



I miss you when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.329


You can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — or not at all.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.329

You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.330


Until your heart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that you have options.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.330

I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck, you pushy, obnoxious, moronic DOG!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.332


I’ll give you passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.332

If I think about you tonight, it will be because I’m having a nightmare.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.333

When he left, you spent all your energy holding on to him. You could be happy if you let go. You could be happy with me.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.333


I don’t want to be happy with anyone but him.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.333

That was not kissing back, that was trying to get you the hell off of me, you idiot.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.334


Next time you want to hit me, use a baseball bat or a crowbar, okay?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.335

I don’t want any fighting, do you understand? I can go put my badge on if that makes my request more official.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.338


I’m not going to kill you now, because it would upset Bella.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.340

But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.340


I’ll be fighting for her, too. You should know that. I’m not taking anything for granted, and I’ll be fighting twice as hard as you will.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341

She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.341


Fall down again, Bella?
Emmett Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.342

No Emmet, I punched a werewolf in the face.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.342


I guess I could throw in a few extra homicides, if it makes Jasper happy. Why not?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.343

Was there a human experience I was not willing to give up?
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 15, p.345


 Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.347


I can’t imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.347

You don’t have anything like this. For crying out loud, you only own one skirt!
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.348

Well, everyone can relax. Nobody’s trying to exterminate the Cullens after all.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.349


If someone wants one of us, they’re going to have to go through the rest of us to get to her.
Alice Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.350

And now Edward rode in the backseat of my father’s police car, behind the fiberglass divider, with an amused expression — probably due to my father’s amused expression, and the grin that widened every time Charlie stole a glance at Edward in his rearview mirror. Which almost certainly meant that Charlie was imagining things that would get him in trouble with me if he said them out loud.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.351


Please don’t get all weepy on me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.352


They stood out from the rest of the crowd, their beauty and grace otherworldly. I wondered how I’d ever fallen for their human farce. A couple of angels, standing there with wings intact, would be less conspicuous.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.354

Okay, so telling Edward had been a really bad idea. Alice was right to keep her thoughts clouded. I should have waited till we were alone somewhere, maybe with the rest of his family. And nothing breakable close by — like windows… cars… school buildings.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.358


No matter what side I’m on, if someone kisses you without your permission, you should be able to make your feelings clear without hurting yourself.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.362

The right thing isn’t always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else. So… good luck figuring that out.
Charlie Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.363


 Stupid, thieving, annoying vampire!
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.347

Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 16, p.358


This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine — like he was afraid we only had so much time left to us.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.365


Everyone will come. They’re all dying to see the inside of the reclusive Cullens’ mystery house.
Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.367

 

She was forever trying to make me be human the way she thought humans should be.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.368

In case my right hook was too subtle for you, let me translate: that was me uninviting you.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.372


Could I please have just a few seconds of your undivided attention, Miss Swan?
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.373

I really am sorry. About the other day, I mean, too. I shouldn’t have kissed you like that. It was wrong. I guess . . . well, I guess I deluded myself into thinking you wanted me to.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.373


Well, I figured that maybe it would make you remember me once in a while. You know how it is, out of sight, out of mind.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.375

Don’t lie to me, you suck at lying.
Jacob Black, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.375


All around us, my friends and neighbors and petty enemies ate and laughed and swayed to the music, oblivious to the fact that they were about to face horror, danger, maybe death. Because of me.
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.379

We have a few advantages, dog. It will be an even fight.
Jasper Hale, Eclipse, Chapter 17, p.379
