Favorite Lines from New Moon, Book 2 of the Twilight Saga

In New Moon, Edward leaves Bella for her own good, Jake helps Bella heal, and Mike keeps up his puppy dog act. Along the way, Jake turns into a werewolf, Alice steals a car, and Bella hops a plane to Italy to face down a slew of bloodthirsty vamps in an effort to save Edward's life.

WHY A QUOTES PAGE?
Needing an excuse to read Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga again, I decided noting my favorite lines would serve. That way, theoretically, I wouldn't have to reread so often, since I could quickly reference the quote page when I wanted to remember a favorite line. In reality, browsing my favorite quotes just makes me want to read the series yet again.

Edward's Best Lines 

Edward: You should be in a good mood, today of all days.
Bella: And if I don't want to be in a good mood?
Edward: Too bad.


Will you cry?

I don't envy him the girl - just the ease of the suicide.

Well I wasn't going to live without you.

I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.

You know what you would love? A nice little Audi coupe. Very quiet, lots of power ...

Bella, you gave yourself a paper cut - that hardly deserves the death penalty.

Don't try to take any of this on yourself, Bella. It will only make me more disgusted with myself.

You can't have it both ways - either you want people to ignore your birthday or you don't. One or the other.

Heaven forbid that I should do anything I don't want to do.

You're overestimating my self-control.

Bella, I don't want you to come with me.

It will be as if I'd never existed.

Well - I won't forget. But my kind ... we're very easily distracted.

Bella's hallucinations in Port Angeles:
~ Bella, stop this right now!
~ Go back to Jessica. You promised - nothing stupid.
~ Keep your promise.
~ Bella, turn around.

Bella's hallucinations on the motorcycle:
~ This is reckless and childish and idiotic, Bella.
~ I told you so.
~ Do you want to kill yourself, then?
~ Go home to Charlie.
~ No, Bella! Watch what you're doing!

Bella's hallucinations in the meadow with Laurent:
~ Lie.
~ You must lie better than that, Bella.
~ Don't move.
~ Threaten him.
~ Beg.

Bella's hallucinations with Jake:
~ Quiet now, Bella. Don't push him.
~ Give him a chance to calm down.
~ Be very careful, Bella. Don't push him too far. You need to calm him down.

Bella's hallucinations while cliffdiving:
~ Bella.
~ Don't do this.
~ Please. For me.
~ Please.
~ No, Bella!
~ Keep swimming!
~ Stop that! Don't you dare give up!
~ Fight! Bella, keep fighting!
~ No! Bella, no!

Bella's hallucinations with Jake:
~ Be happy.

Amazing. Carlisle was right.

You smell just exactly the same as always. So maybe this is hell. I don't care. I'll take it.

Bella: I'm not dead, and neither are you!
Edward: ... What was that?


Aro: But still - la tua cantante! What a waste!
Edward: I look at it more as a price.
Aro: A very high price.
Edward: Opportunity cost.

Don't be ridiculous. I've never been in better control of that side of my nature than right now.

They can't all be 911 Turbos.

Bella: How strange. I really went to Italy. Did you know I'd never been farther east than Albuquerque?
Edward: Maybe you should go back to sleep. You're not coherent.

Isabella Marie Swan. Do you believe that I asked the Volturi to kill me because I felt guilty?

The odds are always stacked against us. Mistake after mistake. I'll never criticize Romeo again.

You're not asleep, and you're not dead. I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

By the way, I'm not leaving you.

What I want and need is to be with you, and I know I'll never be strong enough to leave again.

I'm not as strong as you give me credit for. Right and wrong have ceased to mean much to me.

It was only a matter of time - and not much of it - before I showed up at your window and begged you to take me back. I'd be happy to beg now, if you'd like that.

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason ... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars any more. And there was no more reason for anything.

If there was only some way to make you see that I can't leave you.

Bella: You love me.
Edward: Truly, I do.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I more or less curled up into a ball and let the misery have me. It was much more pathetic than hearing voices. And, of course, you know I do that, too.

If you don't mind, I'd much rather you didn't hide your face. I've lived without it for as long as I can stand.

You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke.

Well, I'm nearly a hundred and ten. It's time I settled down.

Edward: Because she'd rather you became one of the eternal damned than get married.
Bella: You think you're joking.

Bella: I'll give you eighteen months.
Edward: No deal. I like this condition.

Bella: You're impossible. A monster.
Edward: Is that why you won't marry me?

Bella: Edward Cullen, were you about to say killed him? Were you?
Edward: I would try ... very hard ... not to do that.

Thank you. I will never be able to tell you how grateful I am. I will owe you for the rest of my ... existence. For keeping Bella alive. When I ... didn't.

Edward: That's not in my power.
Jake: Whose, then?
Edward: Hers. I'm a quick learner, Jacob Black, and I don't make the same mistake twice. I'm here until she orders me away.

Would it be childish of me to hide in your closet, then?

Bella's Best Lines 

You might have noticed that my boyfriend glitters. It's just something he does in the sun.

... Edward leaning motionless against his polished silver Volvo, like a marble tribute to some forgotten pagan god of beauty.

Attention is never a good thing, as any other accident-prone klutz would agree.

Though I respected the need for maintaining a safe distance between my skin and his razor-sharp, venom-coated teeth, I tended to forget about trivial things like that when he was kissing me.

I thought we'd established that all the bad luck is my fault?

Emmett was in many ways just like the big brother I'd always wanted ... only much, much more terrifying.

Bella: Well, that's everyone. I can clear a room, at least.
Carlisle: It's not your fault. It could happen to anyone.
Bella: Could, but it usually just happens to me.

Charlie was never surprised to see me bandaged.

Bella: I was thinking, since it's still my birthday, that I'd like you to kiss me again.
Edward: You're greedy tonight.
Bella: Yes, I am - but please, don't do anything you don't want to do.

Which is tempting you more, my blood or my body?

He's gone.

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.

It was depressing to realize that I wasn't the heroine anymore, that my story was over.

How could they guess that I was standing there enjoying an unexpected moment of insanity?

There was just one thing that I had to believe to be able to live - I had to know that he existed. That was all. Everything else I could endure. So long as he existed.

Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.

Then there would come the point in my dream when I couldn't remember what it was that I was searching for. When I realized that there was nothing to search for, and nothing to find. That there never had been anything more than just this empty, dreary wood, and there never would be anything more for me ... nothing but nothing ...

I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs.

As if he'd never existed? That was insanity. It was a promise that he could never keep, a promise that was broken as soon as he'd made it.

I wanted to be stupid and reckless, and I wanted to break promises.

Only a teenage boy would agree to this: deceiving both our parents while repairing dangerous vehicles using money meant for my college education.

Five foot four is perfectly average. It's not my fault you're a freak.

There was something to search for. Unattainable and impossible, uncaring and distracted ... but he was out there, somewhere. I had to believe that.

I didn't normally relate to people so easily, on such a basic level. Not human beings.

Forget cheating. Maybe I'd found a way to generate the hallucinations - that was much more important.

I was like a lost moon - my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation - that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity.

Get your eight bucks worth of carnage.

Do you honestly expect me to remember where all my scars come from?

One thing I truly knew - knew it in in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you.

I was lonely, worried, bored ... perforated ...

As far as I could tell, Jessica had crossed over to the dark side.

The meadow was empty of atmosphere, empty of everything, just like everywhere else. Just like my nightmares.

It was ridiculous that I should be so elated because a vampire knew my name.

The motorcycle was as safe as kittens next to this.

He's still touchy about the whole James thing.

I ran away and fell down a lot.

Each time that I opened my eyes to the morning light and realized I'd lived through another night was a surprise to me.

If I told him the truth, he'd have me locked up in a rubber room somewhere.

I'd had a lot on my mind - revenge-obsessed vampires, giant mutant wolves, a ragged hole in the center of my chest ...

Is Sam catching?

I'd thought Jake had been healing the hole in me - or at least plugging it up, keeping it from hurting me so much. I'd been wrong. He'd just been carving out his own hole, so that I was now riddled through like Swiss cheese.

When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie's tree?

This wasn't my usual screaming.

Jacob, the only human I'd ever been able to relate to ... and he wasn't even human.

It was bad enough that my best friend was a werewolf. Did he have to be a monster, too?

Could you ... well, try to not be a ... werewolf?

I'm sort of used to weird by this point, you know.

These were just four really big half-naked boys.

If I'm silly, then you're dangerously unbalanced.

Last spring break, I'd been hunted by a vampire, too. I hoped this wasn't some kind of tradition forming.

Happiness. It made the whole dying thing pretty bearable.

Was I dying again, then? I didn't like it - this wasn't as good as the last time.

"Juliet gets dumped and ends up with Paris" would never have been a hit.

Could I betray my absent heart to save my pathetic life?

Alice: Are you saying you didn't jump off a cliff?
Bella: No, but ... it was for recreational purposes only.

Danger magnet, remember?

I guess I don't have the corner on the idiocy market.

Well, run along now. Go tell Sam that the scary monsters aren't coming to get you.

What! Why does everyone keep doing that to me? I don't smell!

So what was the fairy-tale protocol for other kisses? The mundane kind that didn't break any spells?

Alice: I'm only afraid of getting you killed.
Bella: I almost get myself killed on a daily basis!

Oh, Alice, do it now! I could help you so much - and I wouldn't slow you down! Bite me!

Sheesh, Alice. Could you pick a more conspicuous car to steal?

I was stupid and slow and human, and we were all going to die because of it.

This was very good, as delusions went.

My hallucinatory Edwards were usually better fed.

I'm dead, right? I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! This is gonna kill Charlie!

If you were, after all, just a dream, that's exactly the kind of thing you would say.

I knew it - I knew I was dreaming.

It never made sense for you to love me. I always knew that.

My problems are a lot worse than a handful of adolescent wolves getting themselves into trouble.

He spoke as if he'd put endless amounts of thought into this asinine plan.

You do remember the Volturi, right?

You're extraordinarily opinionated, and I'm sure you'll want a chance to air your views.

I don't trust myself to be ... enough. To deserve you. There's nothing about me that could hold you.

You can leave me. The Volturi, Victoria ... they're nothing compared to that.

Shh, hold on a second. I think I'm having an epiphany here.

Well, Alice, where do you want to do this?

If you're staying in your teens forever, then so am I.

No! No rings!

Edward: You'd move in with a house full of vampires?
Bella: That's probably the safest place for someone like me.

Bella: If you stay, I don't need heaven.
Edward: Forever.
Bella: That's all I'm asking for.

Jake's Best Lines 

Sure, sure.

Here's to responsibility. Twice a week.

Bella: You get ten years for this one.
Jake: Cool! I'm middle-aged now.

Sometimes you're a little strange, Bella. Do you know that?

I swear, they're like hall monitors gone bad.

By the way, I'm going to disconnect your foot brake tonight.

You could stay out of the hospital for a week, right?

Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you'd taste good.

The usual - slave for life, that kind of thing.

So what are we doing tomorrow? Hiking, or the ER?

I told him you were planning to corrupt my youthful innocence.

You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.

Could I have an empty popcorn bucket?

If you want to blame someone, why don't you point your finger at those filthy, reeking bloodsuckers that you love so much?

You're not going to make me say it, are you? I don't like hurting you.

Did you honestly not know? Was I the one who told you what he was?

Bella, I made you a promise. I had no idea it would be so hard to keep, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try.

Well, I'm so sorry I can't be the right kind of monster for you, Bella. I guess I'm just not as great as a bloodsucker, am I?

You're just scared because I'm a murderer? That's the only reason?... You really, honestly don't mind that I morph into a giant dog?

Bella, honey, we only protect people from one thing - our one enemy. It's the reason we exist - because they do.

You're very good with weird.

Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?

How did you stand it, being around them? Didn't it creep you out?

Look, do you mind saving the stupid stuff for when I'm around? I won't be able to concentrate if I think you're jumping off cliffs behind my back.

I'm just so glad you're okay that I could sing - and that's something no one wants to hear.

There's a vampire in your house and you want to go back?

Bye, Bella. I really hope you don't die.

Yeah, I'll always be your friend. No matter what you love.

Sam would be mad if I broke the treaty, and you probably wouldn't like it too much if I killed your friend.

You take her to them like a bottle of wine for a party!

Bella: Jake, I have to -
Jake: You don't though. You really don't. You could stay here with me. You could stay alive. For Charlie. For me.

Bella: Still friends, right?
Jake: You know how hard I've tried to keep that promise, but ... I can't see how to keep trying. Not now ... Miss you.

Alice's Best Lines 

Would you like to explain to me how you're alive?

I've never seen anyone so prone to life-threatening idiocy.

Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find.

In your case it won't be punishment so much as dinnertime.

You don't get a lot of suicidal vampires.

You'd be writhing in pain for days. And I don't think the other passengers would react well.

You are so bizarre, even for a human.

How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?

Trust me, Bella. If anyone sets up a roadblock, it will be behind us.

Try not to trip. We don't have time for a concussion today.

Bella's all about the extreme sports these days.

I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her.

Seriously, Bella! I don't have any idea how not to kill you!

Other Best Lines 

Carlisle: Sorry about this, Bella. We couldn't rein Alice in.

Carlisle: Never, in the nearly four hundred years now since I was born, have I ever seen anything to make me doubt whether God exists in some form or other. Not even the reflection in the mirror.

Sam: Have you been hurt?

Charlie: I don't think I can live through seeing you try harder. I've never seen anyone trying so hard. It hurts to watch.

Laurent: Weren't you a sort of pet of theirs?

Laurent: This is nothing personal, let me assure you, Bella. Just thirst.

Charlie: What do you mean I don't know my daughter as well as I think I do!

Charlie: You aren't turning into a tree-hugger on me, are you?

Paul: I'm sure the leech-lover is just dying to help us out!

Jared: I got a weak stomach. I don't want to be in there when she blows.
Embry: I bet she's tougher than that. She runs with vampires.


Emily: So, you're the vampire girl.
Bella: Yes. Are you the wolf girl?

Bella: Life is complicated.
Mike: And girls are cruel.

Alec: Is this the cause of all the trouble?
Felix: Dibs.

Aro: Ah, how I miss my friend Carlisle! You remind me of him - only he was not so angry.

Aro: Please visit again. It's been absolutely enthralling!

Esme: You will never put me through that again.
Edward: Sorry, Mom.

Rosalie: I'm so very sorry, Bella. I feel wretched about every part of this, and so grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother after what I did. Please say you'll forgive me.

Emmett: Excellent plan, my brother.
Rosalie: No.
Bella: Absolutely not.
Jasper: Nice.
Alice: Idiots.


Emmett: We can find some other way to pick a fight with this Demetri.

Rosalie: I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me.

'The Host' by Stephenie Meyer 

The Host: A Novel

Amazon Price: $14.97 (as of 12/08/2009)Buy Now

Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series. --Mari Malcolm
