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

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...

Easy mistake to make,” Jem said.

Let yourself rest, Will.

Life was an uncertain thing.

A sort of good-bye without saying good-bye,” he said. “It is a reference to a passage in the Bible. ‘And Mizpah, for he said, the Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent...

Heroes endure because we need them. Not for their own sakes. If Will …

Indeed.” Will let his cutlery clatter onto his plate. “The Consul? Breaking up our breakfast time? Whatever next? The Inquisitor over for tea? Picnics with the Silent Brothers?””Duck pies in the park,” said Jem under...

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....

Of course I don’t. But you did feel better for a moment there, didn’t you?

You bit de Quincey,” he said. “You fool. He’s a vampire. You know what it means to bite a vampire.” “I had no choice,” said Will. “He was choking me.””I know,” Jem said. “But really,...

Oh, I can never get enough,” he said. “Which, incidentally, is what your sister said to me when-“The carriage door flew open. A hand shot out, grabbed Will by the back of the shirt, and...

Jem is nothing but goodness. That he struck you last night only shows how capable you are of driving even saints to madness.

He was all silver and ashes, not like Will’s strong colors of blue and black and gold.
