“Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason... and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was a brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."

-Edward Cullen "Twilight Saga: New Moon"
