Famous Stephenie Meyer Quotes

“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn't know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, p. 195
Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

“One thing I truly knew — knew it 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 had been broken beyond repair.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, p. 219
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“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.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, p. 201
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“They stood out from the rest of the crowd, their beauty and grace otherworldly. I wondered how I'd ever fallen for their human farce. A couple of angels, standing there with wings intact, would be less conspicuous.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan about Alice and Edward Cullen, p. 354
Twilight series, Eclipse (2007)

“It was a miracle — more than a miracle — when I found you, Melanie. Right now, if I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn't be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.”

Stephenie Meyer book The Host

Jared Howe to Melanie Stryder, p. 78
The Host (2008)

Stephenie Meyer Quotes about love

“"I love you," I whispered.
"You are my life now," he answered simply.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, p. 314
Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

“What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge? This love was tricky; it had no hard-and-fast rules — it might be given for free, as with Jamie, or earned through time and hard work, as with Ian, or completely and heartbreakingly unattainable, as with Jared.
Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans could hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?”

Stephenie Meyer book The Host

Wanderer, p. 472
The Host (2008)

“"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
"What a stupid lamb," I sighed.
"What a sick, masochistic lion."”

Stephenie Meyer

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, p. 274
Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

“You know, Jacob, if it weren't for the fact that we're natural enemies and that you're also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you."
"Maybe…if you weren't a disgusting vampire who was planning to suck out the life of the girl I love…well, no, not even then.”

Stephenie Meyer

Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, p. 503
Twilight series, Eclipse (2007)

Stephenie Meyer Quotes about beauty

“This place was truly the highest and the lowest of all worlds — the most beautiful senses, the most exquisite emotions… the most malevolent desires, the darkest deeds. Perhaps it was meant to be so. Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.”

Stephenie Meyer book The Host

Wanderer, p. 141
The Host (2008)

Stephenie Meyer book The Host

Ian O'Shea to Wanderer, p. 605
The Host (2008)

“It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the things you do with it. You are beautiful.”

Stephenie Meyer book The Host

Ian O'Shea to Wanderer, p. 390
The Host (2008)

“It was beautiful, of course; I couldn't deny that. Everything was green: the trees, their trunks covered with moss, their branches hanging with a canopy of it, the ground covered with ferns. Even the air filtered down greenly through the leaves. It was too green — an alien planet.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan about Forks, Washington, p. 8
Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

“I'd never seen anything more beautiful — even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And [Edward's] words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, p. 451
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“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.”

Stephenie Meyer

Edward Cullen, p. 514
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

Stephenie Meyer: Trending quotes

“I could see that now — how the universe swirled around this one point. I'd never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain.
The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood.
It was the baby girl in the blonde vampire's arms that held me here now.
Renesmee.”

Stephenie Meyer

Twilight series, Eclipse (2007)

Stephenie Meyer Quotes

“They are vampires, I guess, Seth allowed after a minute, compensating for Leah's reaction. I mean, it makes sense. And if [drinking blood] helps Bella, it's a good thing, right?
Both Leah and I stared at him. […]
Mom dropped him a lot when he was a baby, Leah told me.
On his head, apparently.”

[Jacob] backed out the front door now as I stalked him, half-running backward down the stairs. "It wasn't my idea, Bella!"

Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“Who rules you, nomads? Do you answer to someone's will besides your own? Are you free to choose your own path, or will the Volturi decide how you will live?
"I came to witness. I stay to fight. The Volturi care nothing for the death of a child. They seek the death of our free will.”

Stephenie Meyer

Garrett, p. 719
Twilight series, Breaking Dawn (2008)

“Our relationship couldn’t continue to balance, as it did, on the point of a knife. We would fall off one edge or the other, depending entirely on his decision, or his instincts. My decision was made, made before I’d ever consciously chosen, and I was committed to seeing it through. Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. It was an impossibility.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan about Edward Cullen, p. 248
Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn't cold.”

Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan, p. 74
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“And it wasn't just ripping, but twisting and pulling in different directions. Because Melanie's heart broke, too, and it was a separate sensation, as if we'd grown another organ to compensate for our twin awarenesses. A double heart for a double mind. Twice the pain.”

Wanderer, p. 188

The Host (2008)

“"It's twilight," Edward murmured. […] "It's the safest time of day for us," he said, answering the unspoken question in my eyes. "The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way … the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?" He smiled wistfully.
"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."”

Stephenie Meyer

Twilight series, Twilight (2005)

“I felt the smooth wooden floor beneath my knees, and then the palms of my hands, and then it was pressed against the skin of my cheek. I hoped that I was fainting, but, to my disappointment, I didn't lose consciousness. The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under.
I did not resurface.”

Twilight series, Breaking Dawn (2008)

“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

Bella Swan, p. 93
Twilight series, New Moon (2006)

“I'll play you for it," Alice suggested. "Rock, paper, scissors." […]

“"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."
The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. "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."”
