Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

"You seem more...optimistic than usual," I observed. "I haven't seen you like this before."Isn't it supposed to be like this" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in pictures, and experiencing it?"

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb. what a stupid lamb. what a sick, masochistic lion."

"I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me."

"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."

"And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him"

"That's certainly a problem. But that's not what I was thinking of. It's just that you are so soft, so fragile. I have to mind my actions every moment that we're together so that I don't hurt you. I could kill you quite easily, Bella, simply by accident." His voice had become just a soft murmur. He moved his icy palm to rest it against my cheek. "If I was too hasty… if for one second I wasn't paying enough attention, I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake. You don't realize howincredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I'm with you."

"I am not really breaking any rules. Charlie said I could never take another step through the door again... I came in through the window... Still, the intent was clear," said Edward."

"Death is Peaceful, Life is Harder"

"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

"Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved."

"You are my life now."

"Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you"

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word."What a stupid lamb," I sighed."What a sick, masochistic lion."
