"Forks was literally my personal hell on Earth."
Bella Swan, Twilight

"Forks must be a difficult place for you to live."
Edward Cullen, Twilight

"You didn’t tell me you had such good friends in Forks."
Renée Dwyer, Twilight

"Were you planning to make it out of Forks before nightfall?"
Edward Cullen, Twilight

"Are you so depressed by Forks that it’s made you suicidal?"
Edward Cullen, Twilight

"I do like him — that’s the problem. I can’t do this anymore! I can’t put down any more roots here! I don’t want to end up trapped in this stupid, boring town like Mom! I’m not going to make the same dumb mistake she did. I hate it — I can’t stay here another minute!"
Bella Swan, Twilight

"It didn’t work out, okay? I really, really hate Forks!"
Bella Swan, Twilight

"Reckless in Forks—now there was a hopeless proposition."
Bella Swan, New Moon

"To be reckless in Forks would take a lot of creativity—maybe more than I had. But I wished I could find some way… I might feel better if I weren’t holding fast, all alone, to a broken pact."
Bella Swan, New Moon

"I still wanted to cheat. It was senseless, and I really didn’t care. I was going to be as reckless as I could possibly manage in Forks. I would not be the only keeper of an empty contract. Getting to spend time with Jacob was just a much bigger perk than I’d expected."
Bella Swan, New Moon

"The sense of deja vu was nearly stifling by this point. At least, unlike the last time—when I’d run away from Forks to escape thirsty vampires rather than to find them—I wouldn’t have to say goodbye to Charlie in person."
Bella Swan, New Moon

"As I sped back to Forks doing ninety, I wasn’t sure where I was going. To say goodbye to my father? Or to embrace the monster inside me? The road flew away beneath my tires."
Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun
