Isabelle.It was always Isabelle.

I’ve never felt so… light.

The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop.

What’s the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of annoying idiots?” inquired Jessamine.

But maybe you never really had someone, she thought now. Maybe, no matter how much you loved them, they could slip through your fingers like water, and there was nothing you could do about it.

Jesus!” Luke exclaimed.”Actually, it’s just me,” said Simon. “Although I’ve been told the resemblance is startling.

What?” For the first time since Jace had met him, Sebastian seemed flabbergasted.

I’m the warlock who’s here to cure you. Didn’t they tell you I was coming?””I know who you are, but…” Maia looked dazed. “You look so…so…shiny.

Bitten? You mean you’re a-“”A werewolf,” said the girl. “Like everyone else here. Except you, and the asshole. And the asshole’s sister.

It was odd, (Tessa thought), what brought out tenderness in people.

If they mean that it gives you a headache, they aren’t wrong.

Beautiful girls should know how to defend themselves against the advances of gentlemen.

Oh, you know. Jace reminds me of an old boyfriend. Some guys look at you like they want sex. Jace looks at you like you’ve already had sex, it was great, and now you’re just...

You shouldn’t do that. Not to your child. You should-carry your own burdens.

Training?’Clary echoed.”But we trained yesterday.””Some of us have to train everyday,Clary.”Jace didnt sound angry,but there was a harshness to his tone,and Clary flushed.”Ill see you later,”he added without looking at her,and practically flung himself toward...

It had been a whim, and there was nothing Magnus attached more importance to than a whim.

There’s more to honesty than … than an arrangement of words. They say faeries can’t lie, but you lie in your intentions, your attitude, your demeanor —

that you don’t want to tell your secrets, so you decided to break up with Alec because…

But he knows New York. He doesn’t know Alicante—

And that – he pointed ahead – is the road to Hell. That’s where we’re going. I have always heard it was paved with good intentions, said Simon

I see that even as the world plunges into darkness and peril, you two stand around discussing your love lives. Teenagers.

Beautiful. He’d called her beautiful. Nobody had ever called her that before, except her mother, which didn’t count. Mothers were required to think you were beautiful.

His eyes softened. “But it doesn’t change what we are to each other. It’s like there’s always been a piece of my soul missing, and it’s inside you, Clary. I know I told you once...

Thank you, Simon, I appreciate that.” Luke opened the pizza box and, finding it empty, shut it with a sigh. “Though you did eat all the pizza.””I only had five slices,” Simon protested, leaning his...

(Jace) “Is there anything special you want to see? Paris? Budapest? The Leaning Tower of Pisa?” Only if it falls on Sebastian’s head, she thought.

I’m just saying that I think I chose to act the way I did in part because of you. Since I’ve met you, everything I’ve done has been in part because of you. I can’t...

I’m not sure.

It doesn’t change what we are to each other. It’s like there’s always been a piece of my soul missing, and it’s inside you, Clary.

Even the trip throught the Portal had not disarranged Magnus’s hair spikes. He tugged on one proudly. “Check it out”, he said to Isabelle.”Magic?””Hair gel. $3.99 at Ricky’s.

You have to stop playing hard to get, Alexander. It makes things difficult.” He grinned.

I’m Magnus Bane.” he went on in a soothing tone, stretching out his ringed hands. Blue sparks had begun to dance between them like bioluminescence dancing water. “I’m the warlock who’s here to cure you....

You no longer need other people in your life once you have found your true love.

I see you’re trying to distract me from the real point here,” Magnus said instead. “You had a birthday – a perfect excuse for me to throw one of my famous parties – and you...

“Someday,” Magnus said, looking at the crumpled royal person at his feet, “I must write my memoirs.”

The letter I received said you had need of my particular talents, but I must confess that I have so many talents that I am not sure which one you require.

And no, this is not that meeting.

Will: “Nice place to live, isn’t it? Let’s hope they left something behind other than filth. Forwarding addresses, a few severed limbs, a prostitute or two …”Jem: “Indeed. Perhaps, if we’re fortunate, we can still...

I have heard sometimes that men who lose an arm of a leg still feel that pain in those limbs, though they are gone,’ said Will. ‘It is like that sometimes. I can feel Jem...

She did not belong to Will-she was too much herself to belong to anyone, even Jem-but she belonged with them, and silently he cursed the Consul for not seeing it.

[…] He tasted like snowflakes and wine, like winter and Will and London.

— Jem es la mejor parte de mí. No espero que lo entiendas. Le debo esto. –Entonces, ,qué soy yo? –preguntó Cecily. Will exhaló, demasiado irritado consigo mismo para comprobarlo. –Eres mi debilidad. –Y Tessa...

Let yourself rest, Will.

Is this a game? We just blurt out whatever word comes next to mind? In that case mine’s ‘genuphobia’. It means an unreasonable fear of knees.” “What’s the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of...

As long as everyone’s wearing their own pants.””I see I have come in on a fascinating moment in the conversation.

I care about you,” Simon said. “I always cared about you.

Simon bristled. She wasn’t his Isabelle, not anymore. He wondered if she ever truly had been. Isabelle didn’t seem like the type of girl to belong to someone. It was one of the things he...

He put his sister’s card in his pocket. He left home for a strange new life and carried her love with him, as he had once before.

From the first time I saw you, I’ve belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me. -Jace

Something missing. I felt it, even with Sebastian, but I didn’t know what it was I was missing. But it was you. My parabatai.

Clary:What are you doing here, anyway?Jace:’Here’ as in your bedroom or ‘here’ as in the great spiritual question of our purpose here on this planet? If you’re asking whether it’s all just a cosmic coincidence...
