Stop fidgeting, Bella. Please try to remember that you’re not confessing to a murder here.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 1, p.13
Charlie, I realize that I’ve gone about this out of order. Traditionally, I should have asked you first. I mean no disrespect, but since Bella has already said yes and I don’t want to diminish her choice in the matter, instead of asking you for her hand, I’m asking for your blessing. We’re getting married, Charlie. I love her more than anything in the world, more than my own life, and – by some miracle – she loves me that way, too. Will you give us your blessing?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 1, p.15
Bachelor parties are designed for those who are sad to see the passing of their single days. I couldn’t be more eager to have mine behind me. So there’s really no point.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 2, p.24
It’s not right! I don’t want you to have to make sacrifices for me. I want to give you things, not take things away from you. I don’t want to steal your future.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 2, p.28
I’ve been waiting a century to marry you, Miss Swan.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 2, p.28
Oh, for the love of all that’s holy!
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 2, p.28
Let me introduce you to my wife.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.54
Enjoying the party, Mrs. Cullen?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.55
I’m not surprised Mike’s having difficulty with improper thoughts about a married woman. I am disappointed that Alice didn’t make sure you were forced to look in a mirror.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.56
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.70
You’re awfully small to be so hugely irritating.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 4, p.71
I’m nothing if not thorough.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.78
I’m sure you’d like a human minute or two… It was a long journey.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.81
Don’t take too long, Mrs. Cullen.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.81
I wouldn’t use the word beautiful. Not with you standing here in comparison.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.85
Stop acting like I’m not a monster for having agreed to this.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.88
Do not say the word fine. If you value my sanity, do not say that you are fine.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.90
Did you expect this, Bella? Were you anticipating that I would hurt you? Were you thinking it would be worse? Do you consider the experiment a success because you can walk away from it? No broken bones – that equals a victory?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.92
With our rarely changing temperaments, strong emotions can alter us in permanent ways. But he said I did not need to worry about that part – you had already altered me so completely.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.93
I can’t ignore the evidence, Bella. Or your history of trying to let me off the hook when I make mistakes.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.94
We’re just lucky it was the pillows and not you.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.95
I will not make love with you until you’ve been changed. I will never hurt you again.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.98
I will not make any deals with you.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.101
Why are you doing this to me?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.102
You are making me insane, Bella.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.103
You are so human, Bella. Ruled by your hormones.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.103
You haven’t said a word in your sleep since we got here. If it weren’t for the snoring, I’d worry you were slipping into a coma.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.104
Do you want me to sing to you? I’ll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.105
You seem to be extraordinarily unobservant when your attention is otherwise involved.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.109
You look so guilty – like you’ve committed a crime.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.110
So you seduced your all-too-willing husband. That’s not a capital offense.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.110
Breakfast time for the human?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.110
Sex was the key all along? Why didn’t I think of that? I could have saved myself a lot of arguments.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.111
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.111
Real estate is a good investment.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.112
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.115
I don’t know… I’ve already mangled the headboard in the other room beyond repair – maybe if we limit the destruction to one area of the house, Esme might invite us back someday.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.115
I think it might be safer if it’s premeditated, rather than if I wait for you to assault me again.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.116
Maybe it would be more polite to wait until we’re alone. You may not notice me tearing the furniture apart, but it would probably scare them.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 6, p.116
Bella! I’m losing my mind over here.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 7, p.123
Are you trying to pass this illness off as PMS?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 7, p.123
We’re going to get that thing out before it can hurt any part of you. Don’t be scared. I won’t let it hurt you.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 7, p.133
I’m not ready for you to kill me yet, Jacob Black. You’ll have to have a little patience.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.176
Even you, Jacob Black, cannot hate me as much as I hate myself.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.179
You know her, Jacob. You connect to her on a level that I don’t even understand. You are part of her, and she is part of you.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.180
I don’t care about anything but keeping her alive. If it’s a child she wants, she can have it. She can have half a dozen babies. Anything she wants. She can have puppies, if that’s what it takes.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.180
The moment Bella’s heart stops beating, I will be begging for you to kill me.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 9, p.183
No. It’s not better. But I’m not going to force her to do anything that makes her unhappy now. Whatever happens, this makes her feel better. I’ll deal with the rest afterward.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 15, p.299
I’ll deal with whatever comes. I won’t cause her pain now.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 15, p.301
It… the baby likes the sound of your voice.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 16, p.325
Go, Jacob. Get away from here.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 16, p.328
I’m not going to pretend that I understand why Bella is unable to let go of you, but I do know that she does not behave this way to hurt you. She suffers a great deal over the pain she’s inflicting on you, and on me, by asking you to stay.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.338
I’m sorry. I am truly sorry for the pain this causes you, Jacob. Though you hate me, I must admit that I don’t feel the same about you. I think of you as a… a brother in many ways. A comrade in arms, at the very least. I regret your suffering more than you realize. But Bella is going to survive, and I know that’s what really matters to you.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.341
I want your permission to deviate from what we agreed to in our treaty with Ephraim. I want you to grant us an exception. I want your permission to save her life. You know I’ll do it anyway, but I don’t want to break faith with you if there is any way to avoid it. We never intended to go back on our word, and we don’t do it lightly now. I want your understanding, Jacob, because you know exactly why we do this. I want the alliance between our families to survive when this is over.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.342
He has one of the purest, sincerest, kindest minds I’ve ever heard. You’re lucky to have his thoughts to share.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 17, p.343
Bella, I love you. Bella, I’m sorry.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 19, p.380
I’m sure she’ll surprise me. She always does.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 19, p.381
Um… carefully, Bella. Ow.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.393
Don’t panic, love. You’re just a bit stronger than I am for the moment.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.393
Now it’s your turn to not break me.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.395
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.398
I was under the impression that you’d always wanted to see me hunt.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.398
I was rather hoping that I’d be able to hear your mind, now that it is more similar to my own. And here I am, as frustrated as ever, wondering what could possibly be going on inside your head.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.406
Bella, you have never been merely pretty.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 20, p.406
That was quite graceful – even for a vampire.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.409
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.412
I’m not laughing at you, Bella. I’m laughing because I am in shock. And I am in shock because I am completely amazed.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.420
You shouldn’t be able to do any of this. You shouldn’t be so… so rational. You shouldn’t be able to stand here discussing this with me calmly and coolly. And, much more than any of that, you should not have been able to break off mid-hunt with the scent of human blood in the air. Even mature vampires have difficulty with that – we’re always careful of where we hunt so as not to put ourselves in the path of temptation. Bella, you’re behaving like you’re decades rather than days old.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.420
What wouldn’t I give to be able to see into your mind for just this one moment.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.420
You did perfectly fine. It’s just that… it was much more difficult for me to watch than it should have been. It goes against the grain, letting you wrestle with lion. I was having an anxiety attack the whole time.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 21, p.423
The only parents in the world who don’t need sleep, and our child already sleeps through the night.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.429
Jacob isn’t suffering. Though I might be willing to change his condition.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.430
I promised him that I would let him explain, but I doubt you’ll see it much differently than I do. Of course, I’m often wrong about your thoughts, aren’t I?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.430
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.433
Maybe I’m hoping she’ll get irritated and rip your head off.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.434
We’ll take care of you, Bella. Don’t worry, we’ll be ready. None of us would risk Renesmee. I think you’ll be surprised at how entirely she’s already wrapped us all around her little fingers. She’ll be perfectly safe, no matter what.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.437
It was the only memory she had of you. She’s letting you know that she’s made the connection, that she knows who you are.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.446
Just because I understand, it doesn’t mean I won’t throw you out, Jacob. Bella’s doing extraordinarily well. Don’t ruin the moment for her.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.447
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 22, p.450
Bella, love, no one is judging you. You’re doing so well.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 23, p.453
It’s just because he tastes better than the rest of us.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 23, p.463
Why don’t you just tell me who wins?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.472
I think it might be more fun if Jacob was awake for the big reveal, don’t you agree? So that someone there is able to express the right level of enthusiasm?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.472
Just a few seconds more, Bella. Then she’ll go annoy someone else.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.475
Alone time is their other gift. Alice was trying to be subtle about it.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.477
I am purely full of joy, because I am missing nothing. No one has more than I do now.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.484
There’s a tremendous amount of time left over when you don’t have to sleep. It makes balancing your… interests quite easy. There’s a reason why I’m the best musician in the family, why – besides Carlisle – I’ve read the most books, studied the most sciences, become fluent in the most languages… Emmett would have you believe that I’m such a know-it-all because of the mind reading, but the truth is that I’ve just had a lot of free time.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.485
That’s just a theory, mongrel. You think we should test it out on Charlie? Did you consider the physical pain you’re putting Bella through, even if she can resist? Or the emotional pain if she doesn’t? I suppose what happens to Bella no longer concerns you!
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 25, p.494
If I didn’t believe you could handle it, we’d disappear today. This very minute. But you can. And you’ll be happier if you can have Charlie in your life.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 25, p.500
No, I don’t care if you bite Jacob. That’s fine.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 25, p.504
As far as Charlie knows, you’re the most repulsive monster of us all.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 25, p.504
I’m sorry, but you need to know the public story more than you need to know the truth. If you’re going to be part of this secret, the public story is the one that counts. It’s to protect Bella and Renesmee as well as the rest of us. Can you go along with the lies for them?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 25, p.509
It’s a little dense, don’t you think, to antagonize the strongest vampire in the house?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.518
Tell me you didn’t let go a bit on your first run, dog.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.522
What an amazing creature she is.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523
You know how Jasper is – he can’t resist a good emotional climate. You’re so happy all the time, love, he gravitates toward you without thinking.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 27, p.527
We don’t know what she saw. Alice is neither unfeeling nor a coward. She just has more information than we do.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 29, p.559
You are bound differently than we are. We each still have our free will.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 29, p.559
I couldn’t let you walk away from me. It hurt just to imagine it.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 29, p.562
Listening to Alice is usually the right thing.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 29, p.569
If it comes to a fight, there won’t be much any of us can do.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.574
I will try to teach you what I can, but please don’t make me think about you sacrificing yourself as a diversion…
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.577
For Alice. It’s the only thanks I can give her now for the last fifty years.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.579
The Volturi aren’t supposed to be the villains, the way they seem to you. They are the foundation of our peace and civilization. Each member of the guard chooses to serve them. It’s quite prestigious; they all are proud to be there, not forced to be there.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.580
From what I saw of his thoughts last spring, Aro’s never wanted anything more than he wants Alice.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 31, p.604
I just can’t… bear it. Emmett and Rosalie know as much as I do. Tanya and Eleazar probably know more. Ask someone else.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 32, p.616
Looking at you that way, analyzing you as a target. Seeing all the ways I can kill you… It just makes it too real for me.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 32, p.616
They’ll be shocked when the infants save their superior lives, won’t they?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 34, p.661
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 35, p.665
They’re committed to protecting human life, Aro. That makes them able to coexist with us, but hardly with you. Unless you’re rethinking your lifestyle.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.699
Goodbye, Jacob, my brother… my son.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 37, p.723
Normal procedure. They usually incapacitate those on trial so they can’t escape.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 38, p.726
Aro, would you ask Jane to stop attacking my wife?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 38, p.732
They’ve given up. Like all bullies, they’re cowards underneath the swagger.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 38, p.740
They’ve been seriously shaken; their confidence is shattered. But, yet, I’m sure they’ll recover from the blow someday. And then… I imagine they’ll try to pick us off separately.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, p.743
When will you ever see yourself clearly?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, p.744
Caius is actually terrified of werewolves. He almost lost a fight with one a few thousand years ago and never got over it.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, p.745
A night for celebrations.
Edward Cullen,
Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39, p.752
