quotes
Here are some quotes regarding Jasper and Alice that I've taken from the books. Please not that I only have Eclipse in English at the moment, so it isn't possible for me to quote Twilight and New Moon. If you'd like to help me out, feel free to email me with a quote from the books, along with the page where it was found, and I'll be eternally grateful.

"Alice!" Jasper's voice whipped, and then he was
right behind her, his hands curling over hers, loosening them from their
grip on the table. Across the room, the door swung shut with a low click.
"What
is it?" he
demanded.
She turned her face away from me, into his chest.

"Where's Alice?" I asked Edward anxiously.
He looked at the granola
bar he was slowly pulverizing between his fingertips while he answered. "She's
with Jasper."
"Is he okay?"
"He's gone away for
a while."
"What? Where?"
Edward shrugged. "Nowhere
in particular."
"And Alice, too," I said with quiet desperation.
Of course, if Jasper needed her, she would go.
(Bella - p. 54-55)
I tried to tune out what Alice was murmuring to Jasper; I didn't
want to hear the words again, but some slipped through.
"I can't
be sure, I keep seeing him do different things, he keeps changing his mind… A killing spree through the city, attacking the
guard, lifting a car over his head in the main square… mostly things
that would expose them—he knows that's the fastest way to force a
reaction…"
"No, you can't." Alice's voice dropped till it was nearly inaudible,
though I was sitting inches from her. Contrarily, I listened harder. "Tell
Emmett no… Well, go after Emmett and Rosalie and bring them back… Think
about it, Jasper. If he sees any of us, what do you think he will do?"
She nodded. "Exactly. I think Bella is the only chance—if there
is a chance… I'll do everything that can be done, but prepare Carlisle;
the odds aren't good."
She laughed then, and there was a catch in her voice. "I've thought
of that… Yes, I promise." Her voice became pleading. "Don't
follow me. I promise, Jasper. One way or another, I'll get out… And
I love you."
She hung up, and leaned back in her seat with her eyes closed. "I
hate lying to him."
(Alice - p. 425)
"That's the second reason of course, the reason I couldn't
say to Jasper. Because if they're there and the Volturi kill Edward, they'll
fight them. Bella." She opened her eyes and stared at me, beseeching. "If
there were any chance we could win… if there were a way that the
four of us could save my brother by fighting for him, maybe it would be
different. But we can't, and, Bella, I can't lose Jasper like that."
I realized why her eyes begged for my understanding. She was protecting
Jasper, at our expense, and maybe at Edward's, too. I understood, and I
did not think badly of her. I nodded.
(Alice - p. 426)
Neither Alice nor Edward was surprised by the reception that waited for
us at Sea-Tac airport, but it caught me off guard. Jasper was the first
one I saw—he didn't seem to see me at all. His eyes were only for
Alice. She went quickly to his side; they didn't embrace like other couples
meeting there. They only stared into each other's faces, yet, somehow,
the moment was so private that I still felt the need to look away.
(Bella - p.
495)
Eclispe Quotes
"She was there - expecting me, naturally." He chuckled once.
"She hopped down from the high stool at the counter as soon as I walked
in and came directly toward me.
It shocked me. I was not sure if she meant to attack. That's the only interpretation
of her behavior my past had to offer. But she was smiling. And the emotions
that were emanating from her were like nothing I'd ever felt before.
'You've kept me waiting a long time,' she said.
(Jasper - p. 301)
"And you ducked your head, like a good Southern gentleman, and said
'I'm sorry, ma'am.'" Alice laughed at the memory.
(Alice - p.301)
Jasper smiled down at her. "You held out your hand, and I took it
without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in
almost a century, I felt hope."
(Jasper - p. 301)
Alice grinned. "I was just relieved. I thought you were never going
to show up."
(Alice - p. 302)

Midnight Sun

Alice sighed silently and stood, taking her tray of food - her prop, as it were - with her and leaving him alone. She knew when he'd had enough of her encouragement. Though Rosalie and Emmett were more flagrant about their relationship, it was Alice and Jasper who knew each other's every mood as well as their own. As if they could read minds, too - only just each other's.

"Alice and Jasper aren't into show, but they have the deeper relationship.
They are married, but once was enough for them."
(PC#1)
"Secondly, he's really mostly doing this for Alice. Alice is Jasper's
entire life. She is the most important thing in the universe to him, and
he would do absolutely anything for her. For Jasper, there would be no
limit to who or what he would destroy for Alice. Not that she wants him
destroying anything. She's the light side of their relationship–she
makes him laugh (and he wasn't much of a laugher before Alice). Jasper
is the most "vampire-y" of the Cullens, and, while he's fond
of them all, he's not bonded to them the way the rest of them are. The
way Alice most definitely is. The whole high school thing really freaks
him out. He's trying to get better at being around humans, but it's an
uphill struggle."
(PC#2)
"And then Alice and Jasper's is the most…mystical. They
just ARE together, and have been from before they even met. They are not
complete without each other–and never were. That's what makes them
different from the other couples, the "never were." They were
already not-whole before they met, waiting for each other."
(PC#9)
"There isn't a house big enough in the world to hold all the clothes
Alice has accumulated. She only keeps the special ones--her wedding dress,
the dress she was wearing the day Jasper finally found her, etc..."
