Bella: How could I live with myself when itโs my fault? None of you should be risking yourselves for me โ Jasper: Bella, Bella, stop. Youโre worrying all the wrong things, Bella. Trust me on this โ none of us are in jeopardyโฆ Our family is strong. Our only fear is losing you. Bella: But why should you โ Alice: Itโs been almost a century that Edwardโs been alone. Now heโs found you. You canโt see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?
Stephenie MeyerNo, I had never intentionally caused anyone physical pain, but I had hurt Ian deeply enough just by hurting myself. Human lives were so impossibly tangled. What a mess.
Stephenie MeyerI believe that. But I want you to know something โ when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, Iโm out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are . . . well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I donโt care whoโs a werewolf and whoโs a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too.
