Alice Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.473

Rosalie grinned at me, and I was glad to see that the new comradeship between us was still there in her smile. I hadn’t been entirely sure it would last after Renesmee’s life was no longer tied to mine. But maybe we had fought together on the same side long enough that we would always be friends now. I’d finally made the same choice she would have if she’d been in my shoes. That seemed to have washed away her resentment for all my other choices.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.473

Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.474

Just a few seconds more, Bella. Then she’ll go annoy someone else.

Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.478

Edward had always thought that he belonged to the world of horror stories. Of course, I’d known that he was dead wrong. It was obvious that he belonged here. In a fairy tale. And now I was in the story with him.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.479

I sighed. My baby, the sea serpent. Maybe there was no help for it. Well, I wasn’t giving in.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.480

We’re going to tell Alice that I ran right to the clothes. We’re going to tell her I spent hours in there playing dress-up. We’re going to lie.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 24, p.481

I could really appreciate him now – could properly see every beautiful line of his perfect face, of his long, flawless body with my strong new eyes, every angle and every plane of him. I could taste his pure, vivid scent on my tongue and feel the unbelievable silkiness of his marble skin under my sensitive fingertips.

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
