Don't be self-conscious, if I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.

I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence.

Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.

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." -Bella

That maybe you should make the most of what time you have? That you shouldlive while you’re alive?

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.

"You've experienced the way I can manipulate the emotions around myself, Bella, but I wonder if you realize how the feelings in a room affect me. I live every day in a climate of emotion. For the first century of my life, I lived in a world of bloodthirsty vengeance. Hate was my constant companion." - Jasper Hale
