Stephenie Meyer Quotes

How desperately we wish to maintain our trust in those we love! In the face of everything, we try to find reasons to trust. Because losing faith is worse than falling out of love.

Love and marriage are wonderful arenas in which to place a character. We are most likely to risk our morals and beliefs while in love. Betrayal gives tremendous insights into a character as well.

Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love.

I gave my whole heart up, for him to hold.

This truth remains: Only those you care about can hurt you. You expect more from them-after all, you've given more of yourself to them. The higher the expectations, the greater the fall.

Loving is half of believing.

If you can disappoint yourself as much as you love yourself and you still manage to disappoint yourself then why are you shocked when other people that you love disappoint you.

We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armour. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it.

It wasn’t that strangers couldn’t hurt you. It was simply that the people you loved could do it so much better.

Every time you love someone, you put not just your faith in them, but your faith in everything to the test.

Do you love me? What? Do you? I love you. I don't know if I trust you. Maybe you shouldn't do either. Maybe I'm the one who should decide!

Because I thought I was in love. And when you think you're in love, you are willing to stick it out and make it work until it is love.

Love without faith is as bad as faith without love.

Could you really love someone who was capable of falling in love with somebody else?

He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both.

Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.

Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?

One day you will learn that love does not always betray you.

Love askes faith, and faith firmenesse.

Love meant jumping off a cliff and trusting that a certain person would be there to catch you at the bottom.

It is far better to be deceived than undeceived by those whom we tenderly love.

You know, sometimes you've got to trust the people you love. You've got to trust that if they're good people, they'll make good decisions.

...and when you meet someone and fall in love, and they fall in love with you, you ask them "Will you take my heart-- stains and all?" and they say "I will," and they ask you the same question and you say, "I will," too.

Love is scary, like anything else, whether you're falling in love, whether you're discovering love in something else...if you're really going to jump off the cliff, when you meet somebody that you love you're going to jump off that cliff, you've got to give them everything. And when you have a kid, it's on a much greater level.
