We had to stick together, Alice and I. It wasn’t easy, hearing voices or seeing visions of the future. Both freaks among those who were already freaks. We protected each other’s secrets.

Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

I was a vampire, and she had the sweetest blood I’d smelled in eighty years.
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

It used to be nearly impossible to escape her constant, ridiculous daydreams. I’d wished, at the time, that I could explain to her exactly what would have happened if my lips, and the teeth behind them, had gotten anywhere near her. That would have silenced those annoying fantasies.
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

I’ll miss you. No matter how short a time you’re gone.

Alice Cullen, Midnight Sun

Perhaps it was just some long buried protective instinct – the strong for the weak. This girl looked more fragile than her new classmates.
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

Why did she have to come here? Why did she have to exist? Why did she have to ruin the little peace I had in this non-life of mine? Why had this aggravating human ever been born? She would ruin me.

Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

Her scent hit me like a wrecking ball, like a battering ram. There was no image violent enough to encapsulate the force of what happened to me in that moment. In that instant, I was nothing close to the human I’d once been; no trace of the shreds of humanity I’d managed to cloak myself in remained. I was a predator. She was my prey. There was nothing else in the whole world but that truth.
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.

Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

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.

Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun

So, is the new one afraid of us yet?
Emmett Cullen, Midnight Sun
