Love fades. Mine has.- Dimitri Belikov, Spirit Bound

It doesn't matter how I feel. It doesn't matter how any of us feel.- Dimitri Belikov, Vampire Academy

Rose is in red, never in blue. Fights like a thorn, sharp as one too- Adrian Ivashkov, Shadow Kiss

She had the same pale, beautiful features as the rest of them. Something about her heart shaped face, her billows of soft, caramel coloured hair reminded me of the silent-movie era. she was small, slender, yet less angular, more rounded than the others- Bella Swan's description of Esme Cullen.

I already consider you part of the family- Esme Cullen, New Moon

I think the backstory with me was pretty specific in the book, of her tragic life and Carlisle saving her. She's a loving and warm character which is easy to conjure up with all these cute little nuggets- Elizabeth Reaser on Esme Cullen

It broke my heart. That's why I jumped off a cliff- Esme Cullen

Esme and Carlisle were talking a few yards away, heads close together, fingers linked, not paying attention- Bella Swan on Esme and Carlisle

Carlisle bought his compassion. Esme bought her ability to love passionately- Edward Cullen

Esme was the heart. She made that following into an act of love- Edward Cullen

Esme Cullen is the heart of the Cullen family. Throughout her human life she suffered and went through hell, yet she as a vampire she smiles and loves as if she was never broken before Carlisle saved her.

Rose Hathaway is strong and has this aura (no pun intended) that shows you how deep she is. Rose puts on a façade to show she is tough but inside she has a heart of gold that will do anything for her friends.

LOVE AND LOYALTY RUN DEEPER THAN BLOOD
