I’m the world’s best predator, aren’t I? Everything about me invites you in — my voice, my face, even my smell. As if I need any of that!

You’re so small to be so hugely irritating.

“Half the sheep-like males were already imagining themselves in love with her, just because she was something new to look at.”
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

I knew that he would forgive me for this horrible act that I would do. Because he loved me. Because he thought I was better than I was. And he would still love me, even as I now proved him wrong.

I was the last person who would ever stand as a protector for Isabella Swan. She would never need protection from anything more than she needed it from me.

It would be more… prudent for you not to be my friend. But I’m tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella.

I acted as a lookout, for lack of a better word, for my family. To protect us. If anyone ever grew suspicious, I could give us early warning and an easy retreat. It happened occasionally – some human with an active imagination would see us in the characters of a book or a movie. Usually they got it wrong, but it was better to move on somewhere new than to risk scrutiny. Very, very rarely someone would guess right. We didn’t give them a chance to test their hypothesis. We simply disappeared, to become no more than a frightening memory…
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

I promise… I swear not to hurt you.

The wasting of finite resources is everyone’s business.

I don’t want to be a monster.
