First blog of 2009 - Favourite Twilight Series Quotes
Instead of me ranting and complaining about the extremely lame drama going on in my life right now, I'm going to consume myself with something I very recently came to love - Twilight.
I've officially read all 4 1/2 books in the series and I must say that New Moon is still my favourite book (although Eclipse comes in a close second), I still prefer Jacob over Edward (although Bella should be with Edward because Jacob is much too awesome for her), and my favourite character is still Seth Clearwater.
Just because, I'm going to list some of my favourite quotes from the Twilight saga. I read online the top 10 quotes from the saga and the list was horrific, it was all the cheesy lovey Edward/Bella lines - and they missed some pretty vital quotes. So this is my top whatever-number-i-end-at list of quotes from the Twilight saga
Twilight
“So did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what.”
-Chapter 1, First Sight
"Bella." Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?"
"No," I groaned. "Go away."
-Chapter 5, Blood Type
"You really shouldn't do that to people," I criticized. "It's hardly fair."
"Do what?"
"Dazzle them like that — she's probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now."
He seemed confused.
"Oh, come on," I said dubiously. "You have to know the effect you have on people."
He tilted his head to one side, and his eyes were curious. "I dazzle people?"
"You haven't noticed? Do you think everybody gets their way so easily?"
He ignored my questions. "Do I dazzle you?"
"Frequently," I admitted.
-Chapter 8, Port Angeles (WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE MOVIE?! ugh, what a shame)
"My mind doesn't work right? I'm a freak?" The words bothered me more than they should — probably because his speculation hit home. I'd always suspected as much, and it embarrassed me to have it confirmed.
"I hear voices in my mind and you're worried that you're the freak," he laughed.
-Chapter 9, Theory
"Don't be self-conscious," he whispered in my ear. "If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it."
-Chapter 14, Mind Over Matter (I don't care how sappy that is, *swoon*)
"Yeah, it's an off day when I don't get somebody telling me how edible I smell."
-Chapter 14, Mind Over Matter
"Your hair looks like a haystack… but I like it."
-Chapter 15, The Cullens
"...Actually, Esme wouldn't care if you had a third eye and webbed feet."
-Chapter 15, The Cullens
"It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share," Alice announced.
-Chapter 16, Carlisle
I rolled my eyes. "Vampires like baseball?"
"It's the American pastime," he said with mock solemnity.
-Chapter 16, Carlisle
"I can feel what you're feeling now — and you are worth it."
-Chapter 19, Goodbyes (Jasper to Bella)
Alice interrupted this time, touching my cheek with her cold fingers. "It's been almost a century that Edward's been alone. Now he's found you. You can't see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?"
-Chapter 20, Impatience
"Afraid of a needle," he muttered to himself under his breath, shaking his head. "Oh, a sadistic vampire, intent on torturing her to death, sure, no problem, she runs off to meet him. An IV, on the other hand…"
-Chapter 24, An Impasse
"...Look at this shoe! It's a death trap!"
-Epilogue
"Okay," I confessed in a rush. "So I was hoping that you might have changed your mind… that you were going to change me, after all."
...."You thought that would be a black tie occasion, did you?" he teased, touching the lapel of his tuxedo jacket.
-Epilogue
New Moon
The movie eventually captured my interest, thanks in large part to Edward whispering Romeo’s lines in my ear—his irresistible, velvet voice made the actor’s voice sound weak and coarse by comparison.
-Chapter 1, Party
"How the hell did Mike Newton end up in this conversation?"
-Chapter 2, Stitches (bahaha, oh Mike Newton)
"You… don't… want me?" I tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed in that order.
"No."
-Chapter 3, the End (This chapter was almost painful to read; I cried so much)
"And I'll make you a promise in return," he said. "I promise that this will be the last time you'll see me. I won't come back. ... It will be as if I'd never existed."
-Chapter 3, The End (wtf Edward!)
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.
-Chapter 4, Waking Up
Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk.
-Chapter 4, Waking Up
"My super secret recipe for speghetti. Handed down for generations," Billy said gravely.
Jacob snorted. "I don't think Ragu's actually been around that long."
-Chapter 6, Friends
Jacob noticed my scrutiny.
"What?" he asked, suddenly self-conscious.
"Nothing. I just hadn't realized before. Did you know, you're sort of beautiful?"
Once the words slipped out, I worried that he might take my impulsive observation thewrong way.
But Jacob just rolled his eyes. "You hit your head pretty hard, didn't you?"
"I'm serious."
"Well, then, thanks. Sort of."
I grinned. "You're sort of welcome."
-Chapter 8, Adrenaline
"Bella!" it hissed. "Ouch! Damn it, open the window! OUCH!"
"What are you doing?" I gasped.
"I'm trying to keep"–he huffed, shifting his weight as the treetop bounced him–"my promise!"
"When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie's tree?"
-Chapter 12, Intruder
Why else would I care so much about them that it would tear big chunks right out of my chest when they went along their mythical ways?
-Chapter 12, Intruder
"Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?"
-Chapter 13, Killer
"I bet she's tougher than that. She runs with vampires."
-Chapter 13, Killer
"Fight!" he yelled. "Damn it, Bella, keep fighting!"
-Chapter 15, Pressure
I thought briefly of the clichés, about how you were suppose to see your life flash before youreyes. I was so much luckier. Who wanted to see a rerun, anyway?
-Chapter 15, Pressue
She shook her head sharply from side to side. "Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have tostart hanging out with the first monsters you can find."
-Chapter 17, Visitor
She eyed me speculatively. "How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?"
-Chapter 19, Race
"Try not to trip," she added. "We don't have time for a concussion today."
I groaned. That would be just like me–ruin everything, destroy the world, in a moment of klutziness.
-Chapter 19, Race
"I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her," Alice suggested.
-Chapter 22, Flight
"I'm dead, right?" I moaned. "I did drown. Crap, crap, crap! Ths is gonna kill Charlie."
-Chapter 23, The Truth
"But how could you beleve me? After all the thousand times I've told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?"
-Chapter 23, The Truth (That's all it takes. And frick, she doesn't expect you to lie to her.)
"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 anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
-Chapter 23, The Truth
"Marry me first."
"Okay. What's the punch line?"
"You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke."
-Chapter 23, The Truth
Eclipse
"You won't let me be like that. We'll live in Antarctica"
Edward snorted, breaking the tension. "Penguins. Lovely."
-Chapter 1, Ultimatum
"Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love?"
"I know how much I love you"
"You compare one small tree to the entire forest."
-Chapter 1, Ultimatum
"Please tell me you are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie."
"I am your father. Remember, I'm just as embarrassed as you are."
-Chapter 2, Evasion
"So let's just say my bad luck did crash the plane. What exactly were you going to do about it?"
"Why is the plane crashing?"
"The pilots are passed out drunk"
"Easy. I'd fly the plane."
"Both engines have exploded and we're falling in a death spiral toward the earth."
-Chapter 3, Motives
Emmett had said "I'm really glad Edward didn't kill you. Everything's so much more fun with you around."
-Chapter 3, Motives
"I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart - I've left it with you."
-Chapter 4, Nature
"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."
-Chapter 5, Imprint
"But I am a werewolf and he is a vampire."
"And I'm a Virgo!"
-Chapter 5, Imprint
"I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures."
-Chapter 6, Switzerland
"Aren't you excited?" she crowed.
I met her gaze for a long second.
"You're kidnapping me aren't you?"
-Chapter 6, Switzerland
"If you're going to have a lapse in control, I can think of a better place for it." I reaced for his face, trying to pull myself up to kiss him.
"Must I always be the responsible one?"
"No. Let me be in charge of responsibility for a few minutes... or hours."
-Chapter 8, Temper
"You know what, though?"
"What?" My voice was petulant.
He put his lips right to my ear; his cold breath tickled. "I prefer brunettes."
-Chapter 8, Temper
He grinned. "Does my being half-naked bother you?"
-Chapter 10, Scent
"No, I didn't fight with Jacob. Much. Why?"
"I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object" With his chin, he gestured to the knife on the counter.
-Chapter 10, Scent
"Okay, Alice. I'll be there. And I'll hate every minute of it. Promise."
"That's the spirit! By the way, I love my gift. You shouldn't have."
"Amazing," Edward muttered. "How can someone so tiny be so annoying?"
-Chapter 12, Time
"Jasper shows up, covered in battle scars, towing this little freak" - he nudged Alice playfully - "who greets them all by name, knows everything about them, and wants to know which room she can move into."
-Chapter 13, Newborn
I pulled my arm back and then let is snap forward, punching him in the mouth with as much power as I could force out of my body. ...
Jacob stared at me in shock. "Are you alright?"
"No, dammit! You broke my hand!"
"Bella, you broke your hand. Now stop dancing around and let me look at it."
-Chapter 15, Wager
"I hate you Jacob Black."
"That's good. Hate is a passionate emotion."
-Chapter 15, Wager (ok, seriously, how can anyone not like Jacob? I love him!)
"I'm really sorry about your hand," Jacob said, almost sounding sincere. "Next time you want to hit me, use a baseball bat or a crowbar, okay?"
-Chapter 15, Wager
Emmett grinned. "Fall down again, Bella?"
"No, Emmett. I punched a werewolf in the face."
-Chapter 15, Wager
"It will pass. And I doubt you'll want to drink the dog's blood. Even as a newborn, you'll have better taste than that."
-Chapter 20, Compromise
"Bella," he mumured, his voice warm and velvet. "Would you please stoptrying to take your clothes off?"
-Chapter 20, Compromise
"I coveted you. I had no right to want to - but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what's become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire." He shook his head in mock horror.
-Chapter 20, Compromise
"Better than anything you've come up with, 'Go fetch a spare heater', I'm not a St. Bernard"
-Chapter 22, Fire and Ice
"You'll be warm in a minute. Of course, you'd warm up faster if you took your clothes off."
Edward growled sharply.
"That's just a simple fact," Jacob defended himself. "Survival one-oh-one."
-Chapter 22, Fire and Ice
"Your lips are still blue," he mused. "Want me to warm those up for you, too? You only have to ask."
Edward sighed heavily.
-Chapter 22, Fire and Ice (hahaha I love Jacob xP)
"How are you feeling?"
"A little stoned. Dr. Fang isn't sure how much pain medication I need, so he's going with trial and error. Think he overdid it."
-Chapter 26, Ethics
"He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun."
"I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me."
He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."
-Chapter 26, Ethics (♥)
Breaking Dawn
"Jasper? What do vampires do for bachelor parties? You're not taking him to a strip club, are you?"
-Chapter 1, Engaged
Emmett and Jasper howled with laughter at my blush while Edward removed my borrowed gartner ... With a quick wink at me, he shot it straight into Mike Newton's face.
-Chapter 4, Gesture (lol, Mike Newton - always gets the short end of the stick)
"What do you mean? Have a real honeymoon? While you're still human? Are you kidding? That's a sick joke, Bella!"
-Chapter 4, Gesture (Jacob said to Bella at the wedding)
I wondered-would a bullet through my temple actually kill me or just leave a really big mess for me to clean up?
-Chapter 8, Waiting For The Damn Fight To Start Already (ps - I also love all of Jacob's chapter titles)
"You missed the party. Princess theme. She made me wear a crown, and then Emily suggested they all try out her new play makeup on me."
"Wow, I'm really sorry I wasn't around to see that."
"Don't worry, Emily has pictures. Actually, I look pretty hot."
-Chapter 8, Waiting For The Damn Fight To Start Already (Quil & Jacob xP)
"I don't notice girls anymore, you know. I don't see their faces."
"Put that together with the tiara and makeup, and maybe Claire will have a different kind of competiton to worry about."
-Chapter 8, Waiting For The Damn Fight To Start Already
Like I was in some Goth version of a bad sitcom. Instead of being the A/V dweeb about to ask the head cheerleader to the prom, I was the finished-second place werewolf about to ask the vampire's wife to shack up and procreate. Nice.
-Chapter 10, Why Didn't I Just Walk Away? Oh Right, Because I'm an Idiot
"Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother, Jacob? His name is 'Shut the hell up'."
-Chapter 10, Why Didn't I Just Walk Away? Oh Right, Because I'm an Idiot
Maybe we should be thinking something like, "We come in peace."
Go for it
Edward? Edward you there? Okay, now I feel kinda stupid
You sound stupid, too
-Chapter 11, The Two Things At The Top of My Things-I-Never-Want-To-Do List (I'm slightly jealous they can communicate like that.)
Give me a break, Jacob. You can phase in front of me. Despite my best efforts, I've seen you naked before-doesn't do much for me, so no worries.
-Chapter 13, Good Thing I've Got A Strong Stomach (lol, Leah to Jacob)
I threw my arms around him.
...
"Um... carefully, Bella. Ow."
-Chapter 20, New
"C'mon Bella! Nessie like me, too," he insisted.
I froze. ...
"What... did you call her?"
... "Well," he mumbled, "that name you came up with is kind of a mouthful and-"
"You named my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?" I screeched.
And then I lunged for his throat.
-Chapter 22, Promised
"I know-I'll play you for it," Alice suggested. "Rock, paper, scissors."
Jasper chuckled and Edward sighed.
"Why don't you just tell me who wins?" Edward said wryly.
Alice beamed. "I do. Excellent."
-Chapter 24, Surprise
"What were you doing last night? Discussing the national debt?"
-Chapter 25, Favor
"He's brave. Brave as you are. Didn't pass out or throw up or anything. I gotta say, I was impressed. You should've seen his face when I started taking my clothes off, though. Priceless," Jacob chortled.
-Chapter 25, Favor
"After a few minutes, he asked, real quietly, if you turned into an animal, too. And I said 'She wished she was that cool!'"
-Chapter 25, Favor (lmao, I love Jacob)
"Florida winning?"
"Just scored the first touchdown," Emmett confirmed. He shot a look in my direction, "'Bout time somebody scored around here."
-Chapter 25, Favor (lmao, Emmett)
"If we live through this," Garrett whispered to Kate, "I'll follow you anywhere, woman."
-Chapter 37, Contrivances (I just love how he put that haha)
WOO, I DID IT! I officially finished this on February 14, 2009. My laptop died so to kill the time I usually spent on my laptop, I re-read the series and put post-it notes on my favourite lines. Then I went back and typed them up on here.
In case you were wondering my method?
1 comment:
The best quotes of the whole series, in my opinion, are are at the end of the second one. :) But the middle of that book is crazy boring. When ever I re-read them, I always skip the middle. I've only read it once ;)
