Twilight

The first book of the Twilight Saga, my favorite. It just thrilled me everytime Bella and Edward have their little romantic scenes. It is so great even if it is only Bella that seems to be talking/thinking in this book and series. And that also made me admire Meyer's style of wrting, because she only used Bella's thoughts to keep this book so alive, wonderful, suspenseful and romantic. And of course,I love Edward Cullen, couldn't miss that. :) 

In the movie, which is quite a little boring...good thing Edward is there, is made to captivate the teens with its music and romance. I wish in the next movie- new moon, they would get a new director. The movie really isn't that satisfying.urgh.

BELLA

I peeked up at him one more time, and regretted it. He was glaring down at me again, his black eyes full of revulsion. As I flinched away from him, shrinking against my chair, the phrase if looks could kill suddenly ran through my mind.

I was consumed by the mystery Edward presented. And more than a little obsessed by Edward himself.That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.

I tried not to think of Edward, sitting in my room, waiting, because then I had to start all over with the calming process.

I didn’t know if there ever was a choice, really. I was already in too deep. Now that I knew — if I knew — I could do nothing about my frightening secret. Because when I thought of him, of his voice, his hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of his personality, I wanted nothing more than to be with him right now.

I love you. I will always love you, no matter what happens now.

Did you ever think that maybe my number was up the first time, with the van, and that you’ve been interfering with fate? Chapter 8, p.174

I told you, it doesn’t matter what you are. It’s too late.Chapter 9, p.190

I turned and he was leaning toward me, his pale, glorious face just inches from mine. My heart stopped beating.Chapter 9, p.193

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. Chapter 9, p.195

He paused to catch a stray lock of hair that was escaping the twist on my neck and wound it back into place. My heart spluttered hyperactively. Chapter 10, p.201

I was wishing that I could believe that you were real. And I was wishing that I wasn’t afraid.Chapter 13, p.262

I was afraid… because, for, well, obvious reasons, I can’t stay with you. And I’m afraid that I’d like to stay with you, much more than I should.

EDWARD

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…

You don’t realize how incredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I’m with you Chapter 13, p.274

Do I dazzle you?

Your number was up the first time I met you. Chapter 8, p.175

I’d rather know what you’re thinking — even if what you’re thinking is insane.

We’re usually very good at what we do. Sometimes we make mistakes. Me, for example, allowing myself to be alone with you. Chapter 9, p.187

It’s wrong. It’s not safe. I’m dangerous, Bella — please, grasp that.Chapter 9, p.190

What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy?

Of all the things about me that could frighten you, you worry about my driving. Chapter 10, p.213

I promise… I swear not to hurt you.

I’m not used to feeling so human. Is it always like this? Chapter 13, p.278

I don’t know how to be close to you. I don’t know if I can. Chapter 13, p.278

If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I’m not ashamed of it.

Now let’s get out of here before I do something really stupid. Chapter 17, p.363

I love you. It’s a poor excuse for what I’m doing, but it’s still true.

Conversation

So ready for this to be the end, for this to be the twilight of your life, though your life has barely started. You’re ready to give up everything.

It’s not the end, it’s the beginning.

I’m not worth it.

Do you remember when you told me that I didn’t see myself very clearly? You obviously have the same blindness.

You can’t really believe that I would give in so easily.

A girl can dream.

Is that what you dream about? Being a monster?

Mostly I dream about being with you forever.

I will stay with you — isn’t that enough?

I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn’t that enough?

Yes, it is enough. Enough for forever.
