With a little over four months until the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the intensity of anticipation is growing ever more fierce by the second.

That said, there's still a lot left to discuss about Stephenie Meyer's New Moon before we see the film.

One such thing is quotes.

We've already talked about a few quotes that should be in the film, but, as readers pointed out, there are many more than just those.

So, let's start at the end of the book.

Many readers of the last article said that the discussions that Edward and Bella had after Italy were the most precious to them.

This quote was featured on page 510 of Chapter 23 in New Moon:

You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

This quote carries a lot of significance because it is Edward explaining to Bella the fact that the words he spoke to her when breaking up with her were false. It also confirms, to the reader, the fact that Edward Cullen is the same Edward Cullen he always had been, and it goes to show that he never lost sight of Bella (just as she never lost sight - er, sound - of him) while he was away.

Does the quote hold any other value and meaning for you, as a reader? Was it important to you, when reading this book, to hear these words from Edward?

Be sure to leave your suggestions for tomorrow's article, as a quote will be drawn from the list of suggestions contained in the comments below (and the format will continue in this way until November). Be sure to leave the chapter/page information on the quote that you submit, and your name in the box so that you can be credited for your submission!
