"But I didn't fear death; I only knew that it would be a kind of never-ending sleep, dreamless and painless." - Edward Cullen
In this quote from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, Edward Cullen expresses his peaceful acceptance of death. He doesn't view it as a fearsome event but rather as an eternal sleep without pain or nightmares. This perspective underscores the tranquility and immortality that the vampire existence offers him, contrasting with the human world filled with pain, suffering, and death.
"It's better to know love than power, and then lose both than never to have loved at all." - Stephenie Meyer
This quote suggests that experiencing love, even if it leads to loss, is more valuable than never having loved at all, and that the knowledge gained from loving and losing outweighs the value of power or material possessions. In other words, love provides a deeper, richer understanding of life, while power and wealth may offer temporary satisfaction but cannot compare to the emotional growth derived from meaningful relationships.
"I didn't ask to be your hero, Bella. I only wanted to be your boyfriend." - Jacob Black
This quote by Jacob Black indicates that he desires a simple romantic relationship with Bella rather than the role of a hero or savior. Despite his exceptional abilities and the dangerous situations they often find themselves in, Jacob wants their bond to be based on love, companionship, and mutual respect, not heroism or responsibility.
"I'd rather dance with you than march with others." - Edward Cullen
This quote, spoken by Edward Cullen in "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, emphasizes a preference for personal connection and intimacy over conformity or group adherence. It suggests that the speaker values a deep, meaningful relationship with an individual over participating in larger, less meaningful collective actions. The quote is about cherishing authentic relationships and choosing love and understanding over following the crowd blindly.
"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is impossible to measure the power of love by temporal standards." - Stephenie Meyer
This quote by Stephenie Meyer suggests that love, unlike tangible or quantifiable entities, holds an exceptional and indomitable power. Love transcends temporal (time-bound) measurements; its influence can't be gauged using conventional standards of time. It stands as a profound and unstoppable force in the universe, capable of overcoming any obstacle or challenge it encounters.
With 'The Host,' I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. I'd love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing... Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay.

When 'Twilight' hit the New York Times bestseller list at number 5, for me that was the pinnacle, that was the moment. I never thought I would be there. And I keep having moments like that where you just stop and say, wait a minute - how is this still going up? I'm waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me.

And then writing, it was like I just found it, you know? Like you just found your favorite flavor of ice cream, all of a sudden there it is. 'This is what I should have been doing for the last thirty years. What was I thinking?' So I was, then I was in and then I had to just keep going with it.

I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels.

The first sequel thing I wrote was this 'Forever Dawn' thing that will never get out, because it's horrid. But it's a really good outline for 'Breaking Dawn' - it's very similar. I knew what I was doing, which is good, because I think if I hadn't, there might have been a lot of pressure.

It's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't. But gosh, if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted, I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then, I wouldn't get it right.
