Proper noun
Bella
A female given name from Italian
I'm exactly right for you, Bella. It would have been effortless for us - comfortable, easy as breathing. I was the natural path your life would have taken. [...] If the world was the way it was supposed to be, if there were no monsters and no magic... Stephenie Meyer
Earth to Bella - You're treading water successfully. But are you really? Don't you want to see the deep? It's not so hard. Just forgive yourself and feel the water open in. Brandon Boyd
Masses of girls identified with Bella in a really profound way, for want of a better word. The connection that I've seen people have - I've seen it physically. It's the characters they're flipping for. Kristen Stewart
The women's rights movement of the 1970s had not yet emerged; except for Bella Abzug, I had no women supporters. Constance Baker Motley
I love Charlie, Billy Burke's character. Writing for him is so spectacular, he's so funny and wry and every scene he's in he just takes. There's a scene in 'Eclipse' where Bella tells him she's a virgin, and it's the funniest, most awkward scene I've ever seen on film. Melissa Rosenberg
In some quarters the films and books are lauded for their wholesome message, which is weird considering Bella is essentially deciding whether she'd rather shag a bat or a wolf. She's got zero interest in honest-to-goodness human-on-human action. No. It's magic farmyard creatures or nothing for her. Charlie Brooker
