The Twilight series is best known for its focus on vampires. In fact, the books of the Twilight series, while thrilling, are one long love story. Here are some favorite love quotes from the first book of the series, Twilight.
“His fingers were ice-cold, like he’d been holding them in a snowdrift before class. But that wasn’t why I jerked my hand away so quickly. When he touched me, it stung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us.”
“I was in disbelief that I’d just explained my dreary life to this bizarre, beautiful boy who may or may not despise me.”
“I was consumed by the mystery Edward presented. And more than a little obsessed by Edward himself.”
“That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.”
“I turned slowly, unwillingly. I didn’t want to feel what I knew I would feel when I looked at his too-perfect face.”
“I wasn’t interesting. And he was. Interesting… and brilliant… and mysterious… and perfect… and beautiful… and possibly able to lift full-sized vans with one hand.”
“It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.”
“And I couldn’t stop the gloom that engulfed me as I realized I didn’t know how long I would have to wait before I saw him again.”
“I was completely absorbed, except for one small part of my mind that wondered what Edward was doing now, and trying to imagine what he would be saying if he were here with me.”
“It was amazing how instantaneously the choking fear vanished, amazing how suddenly the feeling of security washed over me — even before I was off the street — as soon as I heard his voice.”
“He stared into my eyes, and I saw how light his eyes were, lighter than I’d ever seen them, golden butterscotch.”
“He paused to catch a stray lock of hair that was escaping the twist on my neck and wound it back into place. My heart spluttered hyperactively.”
“I can’t explain it right… but he’s even more unbelievable behind the face.”
“I tried to remember how to exhale. I had to look away before it came back to me.”
“Trust me just this once — you are the opposite of ordinary.”
“You don’t see yourself very clearly, you know. I’ll admit you’re dead-on about the bad things, but you didn’t hear what every human male in this school was thinking on your first day.”
“I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me.”
“His face startled me — his expression was torn, almost pained, and so fiercely beautiful that the ache to touch him flared as strong as before. My goodbye stuck in my throat. He raised his hand, hesitant, conflict raging in his eyes, and then swiftly brushed the length of my cheekbone with his fingertips. His skin was as icy as ever, but the trail his fingers left on my skin was alarmingly warm — like I’d been burned, but didn’t feel the pain of it yet.”
“He grinned his crooked smile at me, stopping my breath and my heart. I couldn’t imagine how an angel could be any more glorious. There was nothing about him that could be improved upon.”
“His cold touch on my skin never failed to make my heart thud erratically. Twice, when that happened, I caught a look on his face that made me sure he could somehow hear it.”
“Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn’t get used to it, though I’d been staring at him all afternoon. His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday’s hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface.””It’s too easy to be myself with you.””I sat without moving, more frightened of him than I had ever been. I’d never seen him so completely freed of that carefully cultivated facade. He’d never been less human… or more beautiful.”
