You can’t spring something like that on me, and then expect me not to say anything.

Bella Swan, Chapter 16, p.339

You don’t have to breathe?

Bella Swan, Chapter 16, p.339

I know that at some point, something I tell you or something you see is going to be too much. And then you’ll run away from me, screaming as you go. I won’t stop you. I want this to happen, because I want you to be safe. And yet, I want to be with you. The two desires are impossible to reconcile…

Edward Cullen, Chapter 16, p.347

Vampires like baseball?
