Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name,” Will said. “You can have mine.”Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. “Your name?”Will took a step toward her,...

Eres como yo. Dices las cosas que pienso pero nunca digo en voz alta. Lees los libros que leo. Amas la poesía que yo amo. Me haces reír con tus canciones ridículas y la forma...

Surely the Shadowhunter community must honor you and hold you in high esteem as a gentleman who has truly advanced their race. No, Henry said sadly. Mostly they wish that I would stop suggesting new...

It was good to be here with Jem and Cecily an Charlotte, to be surrounded by their affection, but without her there would always be something missing, a Tessa-shaped part chiseled out of his heart...

What I do know is that if we are born again, I will meet you in another life, and if there is a river, you will wait on the shores for me to come to...

People were intrinsically selfish, and many hated the idea of a woman in charge of the Institute. They would not put themselves at risk for her. Only a few weeks ago he would have said...

No one can say that death found in me a willing comrade, or that I went easily.

La vida es un libro, y hay miles de páginas que no hemos leído todavía.

…In Paris she found Magnus, who was living in a garret apartment and paiting, an occupation for which he had no aptitude whatsoever. He let her sleep on a mattress by the window, and in...

Achilles was murdered with a poisoned arrow, and Jason died alone, killed by his own rotting ship. Such is the fate of heroes.

Father . . . ,” Gabriel began. “Father is a worm.”Will gave a short laugh. He was in gear as if he had just come from the practice room, and his hair curled damply against...

Henry’s breath hissed out through his teeth. That ba-bad man, he finished, with a quick glance at Cecily, who rolled her eyes.

Tessa had lain down beside him and slid her arm beneath his head, and put her head on his chest,listening to the ever-weakening beat of his heart. And in the shadows they’d whispered, reminding each...

Miss Cecily,” she gasped, and then her eyes went to Will. She clapped a hand over her mouth, turned, and bolted back into the house. “Oh, dear,” said Tessa. “I have that effect on women,”...

The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away.

It is not easy to be different, and even less so to be unique. But I begin to think I was never meant for an easy road.

He wanted to run to her, wrap her in his arms. Protect her. But it was Jem’s place to do those things, not his. Not his.” -Will Herondale

It was like the calm just as one engaged in battle, Will thought, when thought fled and inevitability took over.

And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will—you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for...

I need to know you believe me when I say I love you. That is all.””I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping doen from his waist to his weapons...

Has no one respect for the classics these days?

—Jem es la mejor parte de mí. —Entonces, ,qué soy yo? —Eres mi debilidad. —Y Tessa es tu corazón.

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.

Few can claim a single angel who guards them. But you can.

I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for...

And you should not be out and about in your nightgown. There are Lightwoods wandering these halls.

Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will’s sleeve. “You are my parabatai,” he said, “You said once I could ask anything of you.

Our hearts, they need a mirror, Tessa. We see our better selves in the eyes of those who love us.

Life was an uncertain thing.

Perhaps not,” said Will, who had ears like a bat’s. “But I would make a radiant bride.

Miss Collins. I have not yet had a chance to properly apologize to you, so let me take it now. Please forgive me for the trick I played on you with the scones. I did...

Wo men shi jie bai xiong di-we are more than brothers, Will.

Do not speak to Will in that manner.

I should be very insulted if you chose another,”she said, and leaned up to kiss himagain.

Will-“”I love you so much, so incredibly much,” he went on, “and when you’re this close to me, I forget who you are. I forget you’re Jem’s. I’d have to be the worst sort of...

But you love Will, too.”Tessa froze. She had known that Magnus knew of Will’s affection for her, but the idea that what she felt for him in return was written across her face was too...

Come back to me, Tessa. Henry said that perhaps, since you had touched the soul of an angel, that you dream of Heaven now, of fields of angels and flowers of fire. Perhaps you are...

I think there is hope for you yet, Will Herondale.I will try to learn how to have it, without you to show me. Tessa, Jem said. She knows despair, and hope as well. you can...

You said I am a good man,” he said. “But I am not that good a man. And I am–I am catastrophically in love with you.

We are not our parents, Gabriel. We do not have to carry the burden of their choices or their sins.

Hell is cold. Do you remember when you told me that? We were in the cellars of the Dark House. Anyone else would have been panicking, but you were as calm as a governess, telling...

I am not going to live, and I can choose to be as much for her as I can be, to burn as brightly for her as I wish, and for a shorter time, than...

Tessa touched his wrist lightly with her hand. “Be brave,” she said. “It’s not a duck, is it?

I feel like you can look inside me and see all the places I am odd or unusual and fit your heart around them, for you are odd and unusual in just the same way....

If there is a life after this one, he said, let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.

I did not think you would be angry, Jem burst out, and it was like ice cracking across a frozen waterfall, freeing a torrent. We were engaged, Tessa. A proposal-an offer of marriage-is a promise....

Will closed his eyes. He could not hear Jem go, not anymore; he did not want to know the moment when he left and Will was alone, did now want to know when his first...

Always when Will did something to protect Tessa, Jem thought it was for his sake, not for Will’s. Always Will wished Jem could be entirely right. Each needle prick had it own name. Guilt. Shame....

All Lightwoods look the same to me.

Atque in pepetuum, frater, ave atque vale.Forever and ever, my brother, hail and farewell.
