I’d been planning on needing years just to somewhat organize the overwhelming passion I felt for him physically. And then centuries after that to enjoy it. If we had only a month left together… Well, I didn’t see how I could stand to have this end. For the moment I couldn’t help but be selfish. All I wanted was to love him as much as possible in the limited time given to me.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.573

Edward, will you teach me how to fight?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.574

He froze, and then his eyes swept over me with a deep significance, like he was looking at me for the first or last time.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.574

If it comes to a fight, there won’t be much any of us can do.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.574

Would you leave me unable to defend myself?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.575

I was a tiny bit special, in my own way – if having a supernaturally thick skull could really be considered special.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.575

Edward cut me off, his voice abruptly panicked. He was probably seeing the same image in his head that I was: the Cullens standing helpless, senseless pillars on the killing field – all but me. I’d be the only one who could fight.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.577

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

I have to learn everything. As much as you can possibly cram into my head in the next month.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.578

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

What if they don’t like me?
Renesmee Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.582

Edward, no matter how many friends you gather, we can’t help you win. We can only die with you.
Tanya, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 30, p.591
