Sometimes I’m afraid that I’m losing myself.

Hard to feel confident when you’re surrounded by horse-sized wolves. Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, p.745

Life sucks, and then you die.

I walked towards my fate with my destiny standing solidly by my side

I could see how easy it would be to fall into loving Bella. It would be exactly like falling: effortless. Not letting myself love her was the opposite of falling—it was pulling myself up a cliff-face, hand over hand, the task as grueling as if I had no more than mortal strength.

Those who lived in peaceful nations had looked the other way as members of their own species starved on their door step.

Love doesn't always come in convenient packages.
