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

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.

Those are the words of the oath. ‘Untilaught but death part thee and me.’ Someday, Will, I will go where none canfollow me, and I think it will be sooner rather than later.

But I will never have a bride.

Trains are great dirty smoky things,” said Will. “You won’t like it.” Tessa was unmoved. “I won’t know if I like it until I try it, will I?” “I’ve never swum naked in the Thames...

Change is no loss, Will. Not always.

I am nothing if not gracious,” Will said. His eyes searched Jem’s face, that face as familiar to him as his own. “And determined. You will not leave me. Not while I live.

Andwhose fault is that?

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.

Ni shou shang le ma, quin ai de?” he whispered.

There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.

Through many waters borne, brother, I am come to thy sad grave, that I may give these last gifts to the dead. Forever and ever, brother, hail. Forever and ever, farewell.

It is the mundanes who look at me and see something they do not understand—a boy who is not quite white and not quite foreign either.””Just as I am not human, and not demon either,”...

Astriola. That IS demon pox. You had evidence that demon pox existed and you didnt mention it to me! Et tu, Brute!’ He rolled up the paper and hit Jem over the head with it.

For five years it had been his absolute truth. Jem and Will. Will and Jem. Will Herondale lives, therefore Jem Carstairs lives also.

She knew she could not be Jem for Will. No one could. But slowly the hollow places in his heart were filling in.

Not forever, Tessa thought. They had a long, long time. A lifetime. His lifetime. And she would lose him one day, as she had lost Will, and her heart would break, as it had broken...

What did Magnus mean by asking you if I knew you were in love with Tessa?

Will: ‘Singing the praises of our fair city? We treat you well here, don’t we, James? I doubt I’d have that kind of luck in Shanghai. What do you call us there again?’Jem: ‘Yang guizi...

Our souls are knit. We are one person, James.

I am glad,” he said. “They will be able to take care of each other when I am gone, or at least I can hope for it. He says she does not love him, but...

I have not stopped loving her, nor my parabatai; love does not stop when someone dies.

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

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...

Will had shrugged once, helplessly. He had almost wished Jem would be angry with him. It would have been easier. He’d never felt so small within himself as he did when he faced Jem’s expansive...

But I have made a study of Shadowhunters now, over the past century, and let me tell you that we are more human than most human beings. When our hearts break, they break into shards...

Jem spoke with enormous care; talking to Will about anything personal was like trying not to startle away a wild animal.

James, you are all the family I have. I would die for you. You know that. I would die without you. If it were not for you, I would be dead a hundred times over...

Someday, Will, I will go where none can follow me, and I think it will be sooner rather than later. Have you ever asked yourself why I agreed to be your parabatai?

Will: “You are not really dying, are you?” Jem: “So they tell me.” Will: “I am sorry.” Jem: “No. Don’t be ordinary like that. Don’t say you’re sorry. Say you’ll train with me.” Will: “I’ll...

Wo bu xiang shi qu ni.” She knew, without knowing how she knew, what the words meant. I love you. And I don’t want to lose you.

But you hate poetry!Yes, but you make me want to write it.

We’re not just discussing him; we’re chasing him through an ornamental sculpture garden because he’s turned into a worm.

–Hay más en la vida que no morir, –dijo. –Mira la forma en que vives, Will. Brillas tanto como una estrella. Había estado tomando solo la droga necesaria para mantenerme con vida pero no suficiente...

She smiled. Her skin looked whiter than he recalled, and dark spidery veins were beginning to show beneath its surface. Her hair was still the color of spun silver and her eyes were still green...

I am leaving, but I am living. I will not be gone from you entirely, Will. When you fight now, I will be still by you. When you walk in the world, I will be...

ーEscribí algo para ti, ーla corrigió con una sonrisa y comenzó a tocar. Ella escuchó emocionada; comenzó lento, sencillo, su control sobre el arco producía un sonido armónico. La melodía la lleno tan fresca y...

Jem shook his head. “You bit de Quincey” he said. “You fool. He’s a VAMPIRE””I had no choice” said Will ” He was choking me””I know” Jem said. ” But really Will, AGAIN?

— 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...

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

And I believe the soul is eternal. I don’t believe in the fiery pit, the pitchforks, or the endless torment. I do not believe you can threaten people into goodness.

I promise to charm the dickens out of him,’ said Will, sitting up and readjusting his crushed hat. ‘I shall charm him with such force that when I am done, he will be left lying...

So you are dying for love, then,” Will said finally, his voice sounding constricted to his own ears. ‘Dying a little faster for love. And there are worse things to die for.

Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?” “They ate it too,” Will reminisced....

You have been known to call upon Brother Zachariah for a broken toe.”It was turning green,” said Will

For that was love, wasnt it–to burn bright in someone else’s eyes?

Do you think Charlotte will let me handle the investigation?””Do you think you can be trusted in Downworld? The gaming hells, the dens of magical vice, the women of loose morals…” Will smiled the way...

I take your hand, brother, so that you may go in peace. Will had opened his blue eyes that never lost their colour over all the passing years, and looked at Jem and then Tessa,...

Zhe shi jie shang, wo shi zui ai ne de. In all the world, you are what I love the most.

He pulled the Carstairs family ring from his finger and held it out to Will. “Take it.”Will let his eyes drift down toward it, and then up to Jem’s face. A dozen awful things he...
