Eclipse Quotes
In case anyone wanted to reminisce.
I realized I still had the quotes we got early from Eclipse on my computer and thought I'd share. I think all the "Quotes of the Day" are here plus a few from Stephenie's myspace and promos. My guesses for who the quote was directed at are in the parenthesis- several of them were obvious, and several were completely wrong.

"And speaking of Italy and sports cars that I stole there, you still owe me a yellow Porsche." - Alice Cullen (Edward)

"You’ve experienced the way I can manipulate the emotions around myself, Bella, but I wonder if you realize how the feelings in a room affect me. I live every day in a climate of emotion.

"The stories say that the Cold Woman was the most beautiful thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of the dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once, and it glittered off her white skin and lit the golden hair that flowed down to her knees. Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her white face. Some fell to their knees to worship her." - Billy Black (Bella and wolves)
"I feel like screaming!" - Jessica Stanley (Bella, Mike, Angela) Answer: Bella
"Quite a pity how things turned out, isn’t it?" - Jane
"BELLA?"
Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again.
This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine-like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us.
In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition.
Something Edward didn’t want me to know.
Something that Jacob wouldn’t have kept from me.
Something that had the Cullens and the wolves both in the woods, moving in hazardous proximity to each other...
Something I'd been waiting for anyway. Something I knew would happen again, as much as I might wish it never would.
It was never going to end, was it?
I thought today's quote was cute - nice interaction between Edward and Alice. What I found most amusing though was that when I read it this morning before going to bed, there were already 5 pages of discussion on the Lex guessing what Alice and Edward were playing for.
Not that I can really talk, Heaven knows, when it comes to teasers I read for subtext.
