Edward Cullen was standing four cars down from me, staring at me in horror. His face stood out from a sea of faces, all frozen in the same mask of shock. Just before I heard the shattering crunch of the van folding around the truck bed, something hit me, hard, but not from the direction I was expecting. Chapter 3, p.56

Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn’t get used to it, though I’d been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday’s hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. Chapter 13, p.260

Who were you, an insignificant little girl, to chase me from the place I wanted to be? Chapter 13, p.271

It was unquestionably a complication that I couldn’t simply read your thoughts to know what your reaction was to me. I wasn’t used to having to go to such circuitous measures, listening to your words in Jessica’s mind… her mind isn’t very original, and it was annoying to have to stoop to that.

Actually, Esme wouldn’t care if you had a third eye and webbed feet.

If anything happens to them, it will be for nothing. Chapter 19, p.404

I don’t seem to be strong enough to stay away from you, so I suppose that you’ll get your way… whether it kills you or not. Chapter 24, p.473

Why didn’t you just let the venom spread? By now I would be just like you. Chapter 24, p.473

I’ll be the first to admit that I have no experience with relationships. But it just seems logical… a man and woman have to be somewhat equal… as in, one of them can’t always be swooping in and saving the other one. They have to save each other equally. Chapter 24, p.473
