"My old mind hadnâ€™t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that Iâ€™d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisleâ€™s compassion and Esmeâ€™s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that."

They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—Society, The State, The Government, The Commune—must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.”
“People like me, who care about printing, constitute the tiniest lunatic fringe in the nation.”
