Emily Rose

“You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers – the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?”
― Stephenie Meyer, Breaking Dawn

“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.”
― Stephenie Meyer, New Moon

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”
― Stephanie Meyer, Twilight

“People do not change, they are merely revealed.”
― Anne Enright, The Gathering
