| You said we belonged in each other’s lives, right? That we were family. You said that was how you and I were supposed to be. So… now we are. It’s what you wanted. | |
| I’m not sure I would have had the persistence, the faith it took to save her. Stop berating yourself. Bella is going to be fine. | |
| It goes against the grain… letting you wrestle with lions. I was having an anxiety attack the whole time. | |
| How different it would be when he didn’t need to worry about me anymore. What would he do with all his free time? He’d have to get a new hobby. | |
| This was the problem with hanging out with vampires – you got used to them. They started messing up the way you saw the world. They started feeling like friends. | |
| Aw, what a waste. And here you're probably the one person who could take him – since he can't get in your head to cheat – and you had a perfect excuse, too. | |
| Though I didn’t need the oxygen, my breathing sped, raced as fast as it had when I was burning. This was a different kind of fire. | |
| With our rarely changing temperaments, strong emotions can alter us in permanent ways, but he said I didn’t need to worry about that part–you already altered me so completely. | |
| In truth, young Bella, immortality does become you most extraordinarily. It is as if you were designed for this life. | |
| The shield blew out from me in a bubble of sheer energy, a mushroom cloud of liquid steel. It pulsed like a living thing – I could feel it, from the apex to the edges. | |
| Ironic. Aro sent me all over the world searching for such anomalies, and you simply stumble across it by chance and don’t even realize what you have. | |
| I came to witness. I stay to fight. The Volturi care nothing for the death of the child. They seek the death of our free will. | |
| I already had a big target on my forehead and there was really no point in trying to keep the extent of what I could do a secret. So I grinned a huge, smug smile right at Jane. | |
| You’re exactly like Charlie. Once you make up your mind, there is no reasoning with you. | |
| I just want Caius. | |
| And how can we fail, when I will it otherwise? | |
| I must say, it’s a different experience working with you than it is with Mr. Jasper. Much less… unsettling. | |
| I’ll do anything you want. Except go back to Sam’s pack and be the pathetic ex-girlfriend he can't get away from. If you want me to leave… you're going to have to make me. | |
| He stared up at me from inside his own personal hell, and I could see that he agreed with me. | |
| All we need is for the Volturi to pause for one moment. Just long enough to listen. | |
| The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood. It was the baby girl in the blond vampire’s arms that held me here now. Renesmee. | |
| If you don’t send Edward out… we’re coming in after him! | |
| I understand that – maybe better than you think. I don’t like her, but… she’s your Sam. She’s everything you want and everything you can't have. | |
| We shall be great friends, my Nessie. | |
| It’s just been my experience that some kinds of working relationships are better motivated by fear than by monetary gain. | |

| Jake, I belong here. I do like vampires. Cullens, anyway. They're people to me, and I'm going to protect them, ’cause that’s what we’re supposed to do. | |
| I’m sure you'll ace your classes… apparently there’s nothing interesting for you to do at night besides study. | |
| So many pointless rules, so many laws you create for yourself, Carlisle. How is it possible that you defend the breaking of one that truly matters? | |
| If we live through this, I’ll follow you anywhere, woman. | |
| He looked at me in confusion. As a general rule, I didn’t pull away. Okay, it was more than a general rule. This was a first. | |
| Make Bella see sense? What universe do you live in? | |
| Now it’s your turn to not break me. | |
| As if I could discount something because it was a legend. My life was circled by legend on every side. They were all true. | |
| It’s good to see things work out for you, man. I’m happy for you. | |
| That’s the funny thing about knowing you can't have something. It makes you desperate. | |
| Hard to feel confident when you're surrounded by horse-sized wolves. | |
| We’d stared at each other all night, staring at what neither of us could live through losing: the other. | |
| This was what had changed Edward – that the monster had convinced him of this love. He couldn’t hate what loved Bella. It was probably why he couldn’t hate me, either. | |
| It’s a pity you couldn’t replace my will with your own in the process; perhaps then you would have been satisfied with me. | |
| I know what you’ve decided, Sam. But you don’t decide for me. Not anymore. | |
| We’re going to tell Alice that I ran right to the clothes. We’re going to tell her I spent hours in there playing dress-up. We’re going to lie. | |
| I think you make a good Alpha. Not in the same way Sam does, but in your own way. You're worth following, Jacob. | |
| Carlisle Cullen. Looking at him without that hate clouding my eyes, I couldn’t deny that killing him was murder. He was good. Good as any human we protected. Maybe better. | |
| For the first time, I understood how Edward had been able to watch me sleep night after boring night, just to hear me talk in my sleep. I could watch Renesmee dream forever. | |
| Not many people get every single thing they want, plus all the things they didn’t even think to ask for, in the same day. | |
| So there will be more destruction? | |
| At least when we ruled, we were honest about what we were; We never put on white hats and called ourselves saints. | |
| She’s obviously got tremendous ability, and we’re only beginning to touch it. She can do better, I'm sure. She’s just lacking incentive. | |
| You could always count on werewolves to be buzzed about a coming fight, no matter how suicidal. | |
| Deal. I win, and it’s going to get a lot worse. | |
