I’ll let you pay me back, if that makes you happy. If you want, I can charge you interest.

I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33

I don’t know how to phrase this properly. It’s going to sound cruel, I suppose. But I’ve come too close to losing you in the past. I know what it feels like to think I have. I am not going to tolerate anything dangerous.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33

Please make a conscious effort to keep yourself safe. I’ll do everything I can, but I would appreciate a little help.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.33

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 2, p.49

I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history.

I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 4, p.95

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.186

I go a little berserk when I try to leave you. I don’t think I’ll go so far again. It’s not worth it.

I prefer brunettes.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 8, p.194

You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable.

Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.230

There are things between my hands right now that I can’t live without. You could take care of them.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.234

You look… sexy.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 10, p.235

Besides… the more time I spend with you, the more human emotions seem comprehensible to me. I’m discovering that I can sympathize with Heathcliff in ways I didn’t think possible before.

How can someone so tiny by so annoying?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.268

Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.271

It’s the thought that counts. I ought to know.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.272

If I answer your question, will you then explain your question?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.273

If there were any way for me to become human for you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it.

You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.274

If I had found you, there isn’t a doubt in my mind how I would have proceeded. I was that boy, who would have — as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for — gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn’t have quite the same connotations.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 12, p.277

I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that’s not actually the case.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 14, p.317

But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.422

I’m the only one who has permission to hold you hostage, remember?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 19, p.427

For this one night, could we try to forget everything besides just you and me? It seems like I can never get enough time like that. I need to be with you. Just you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.435

But I thought it was a good representation. It’s hard and cold. And it throws rainbows in the sunlight.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439

My heart is just as silent. And it, too, is yours.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.439

Listen to your heart fly. It’s fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings. Are you all right?

I feel like there’s a line behind me, jockeying for position, waiting for me to make a big enough mistake… You’re too desirable for your own good.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.445

Do you have any idea how painful it is, trying to refuse you when you plead with me this way?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.448

Bella. Would you please stop trying to take your clothes off?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.450

Do you get the feeling that everything is backward? Traditionally, shouldn’t you be arguing my side, and I yours?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.451

You know that I’ve stolen, I’ve lied, I’ve coveted… my virtue is all I have left.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454

Yes, but you’re such a bad liar that it doesn’t really count. Nobody believes you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454

I had no right to want you — but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what’s become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.454

There is only one thing I want to speed up, and the rest can wait forever… but for that, it’s true, your impatient human hormones are my most powerful ally at this point.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.455

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.456

You are the most dangerous creature I’ve ever met.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.457

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.458

Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever — every single day of forever. Will you marry me?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 20, p.460

I lived through an entire twenty-four hours thinking that you were dead, Bella. That changed the way I look at a lot of things.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 21, p.471

I don’t see you making yourself useful. Why don’t you go fetch a space heater or something?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.489

You don’t have the faintest idea how much I wish I could do what you’re doing for her, mongrel.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.492

Do you think you could attempt to control your thoughts?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.494

As long as she wants me, I’m here.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.502

You see, Jacob, you might leave her someday. Like Sam and Emily, you wouldn’t have a choice. I would always be waiting in the wings, hoping for that to happen.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.502

Would you like me to help you sleep, Jacob?

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 22, p.504

But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.509

All of my best nights have happened since I met you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.511

You love me more than I deserve.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.513

A hundred years from now, when you’ve gained enough perspective to really appreciate the answer, I will explain it to you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 23, p.513

Truce over.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.556

It’s going to be all right, Bella. I know you’re frightened now, but it’s over. No one is going to hurt you. I won’t touch you. I won’t hurt you.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.557

You know that you nearly gave me a heart attack? Not the easiest thing to do, that.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 25, p.559

Bella, I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to make everyone else happy. And I don’t care about anyone else’s feelings. I only need you to be happy. Don’t worry about breaking the news to Alice. I’ll take care of it. I promise she won’t make you feel guilty.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.617

We’re doing this your way. Because my way doesn’t work. I call you stubborn, but look at what I’ve done. I’ve clung with such idiotic obstinacy to my idea of what’s best for you, though it’s only hurt you. Hurt you so deeply, time and time again. I don’t trust myself anymore. You can have happiness your way. My way is always wrong.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.617

You don’t fight fair.

Edward Cullen, Eclipse, Chapter 27, p.620
