Quote by Stephenie Meyer

“I hurried to the southern corridor, relieved when I was safe in the blackness there. Relieved and horrified. It was really over now. I'm so afraid, I whimpered. Before Mel could respond, a heavy hand dropped on my shoulder from the darkness. "Going somewhere?" I was so tightly wound that I shrieked in terror; I was so terrified that my shriek was only a breathless little squeal. "Sorry!" Jared's arm went round my shoulders, comforting. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." "What are you doing here?" I demanded, still breathless. "Following you. I've been following you all night." "Well, stop it now." There was a hesitation in the dark, and his arm didn't move. I shrugged out from under it, but he caught my wrist. His grip was firm; I wouldn't be able to shake free easily. "You're going to see Doc?" he asked, and there was no confusion in his question. It was obvious that he wasn't talking about a social visit. "Of course I am." I hissed the words so that he wouldn't hear the panic in my voice. "What else can I do after today?It's not going to get any better. And this isn't Jeb's decision to make." "I know. I'm on your side." It made me angry that these words still had the power to hurt me, to bring tears stinging into my eyes. I tried to hold onto the thought of Ian - he was the anchor, as Kyle somehow had been for Sunny - but it was hard with Jared's hand touching me, with the smell of him in my nose. Like trying to make out the song of one violin when the entire percussion section was bashing away... "Then let me go, Jared. Go away. I want to be alone." The words came out fierce and fast and hard. It was easy to hear that they weren't lies. "I should come with you." "You'll have Melanie back soon enough," I snapped. "I'm only asking for a few minutes, Jared. Give me that much." Another pause; his hand didn't loosen. "Wanda, I would come to be with you." The tears spilled over. I was grateful for the darkness. "It wouldn't feel that way," I whispered. "So there's no point.”

“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?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? I didn't know why I had yearned after it so desperately. All I knew was that, now that I had it, it was worth every ounce of risk and agony it had cost. It was better than I imagined. It was everything.”

“Irani itakapoipiga Israeli, kama ambavyo imeshaahidi, Israeli itajibu mapigo. Kwa vile Israeli ina nguvu zaidi kuliko Irani, itaipiga Irani kwa silaha za kawaida. Itaipiga hata kwa silaha za kinyukilia pia. Kutunisha misuli, Irani itaomba msaada wa kijeshi kutoka katika nchi za Kiarabu; ambazo zitakubali kuingilia kati na kuisaidia Irani. Kwa silaha za kawaida, bado nchi zote za Kiarabu zitakazokubali kuisaidia Irani hazitakuwa na uwezo wa kuishinda Israeli. Kuishinda itabidi zitumie silaha za kinyukilia. Silaha za kinyukilia zitakapoanza kutumika, Marekani itaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli. Marekani itakapoingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli, Urusi itaingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Ufaransa, Uingereza na Ujerumani zitaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli; huku China ikiingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Hapo Vita Kuu ya Tatu ya Dunia itaanzishwa rasmi. Katika vita hiyo ya kinyukilia na mbaya kuliko vita zote zilizowahi kupiganwa, Israeli itashinda vita na itaanzisha utawala wa Mpinga Kristo duniani kote. Kutakuwa na dini moja. Kutakuwa na serikali moja. Kutakuwa na sarafu moja. Watu watapungua hadi kufikia milioni 500, kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 1650, asilimia 7 ya idadi ya watu wote ya leo.”
