Life and love would go on. Even though it would happen without me, the idea brought me joy.
Stephenie MeyerI 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 fallingโit was pulling myself up a cliff-face, hand over hand, the task as grueling as if I had no more than mortal strength.
Stephenie Meyer"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
