"I was alwaysthat boy. In my world, I was already a man. I wasn't looking for love - no, I was far too eager to be a solider for that; I thought of nothing but the idealized glory of the war they were selling prospective draftees then - but if I had found...I was going to say if I had found someone, but that won't do. If I had found you, there isn't a doubt in my mind how I would have proceeded. I was that boy, who would have - as soon as I discovered that you were what I was looking for - gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn't have quite the same connotations."
-Edward Cullen, Eclipse.
