Anyone that looked like that wouldn’t need to tie up girls and imprison them in order to get them to marry him

Will’s face turned grave. “Be careful with it, though. It’s six hundred years old and the only copy of its kind. Losing or damaging it is punishable by death under the Law.”Tessa thrust the book...

You’re in a charming temper, aren’t you, William?” interrupted Jem,though there was no edge to his voice.

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...

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,...

Míralo. El rostro de un ángel malicioso y los ojos como el cielo nocturno en el Infierno. Es muy hermoso, y a los vampiros les gusta eso. Y no puedo decir que a mí me...

He played of love and loss and years of silence, words unsaid and vows unspoken, and all the spaces between his heart and theirs; and when he was done, and he’d set the violin back...

She had fallen asleep with her head on his arm, the clockwork angel, still around her throat, resting against his shoulder just to the left of his collarbone. As she moved away, the clockwork angel...

Men may be stronger, but it is women who endure.

Tess, Tess, Tessa. Was there ever a more beautiful sound than your name? To speak it aloud makes my heart ring like a bell. Strange to imagine that, isn’t it – a heart ringing –...

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

I don’t let it color my judgment.

Because women never say what they think.

Oh, do you have A Tale of Two Cities?””That silly thing? Men going around getting their heads chopped off for love? Ridiculus.” Will unpeeled himself from the door and made his way toward Tessa where...

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

Well, I don’t want you to die,” Tessa said. “I don’t know why I feel it so strongly — I’ve just met you — but I don’t want you to die.””And I trust you,” he...

And to the devil with it if she is!” said the Consul. “One girl, who is not Nephilim, is not, cannot, be our priority.””She is my priority!” Will shouted.

He remembered Tessa weeping in his arms in Paris, and thinking that he had never known the loss she felt, because he had never loved like she had, and that he was afraid that someday...

We should go back inside,” she said, in a half whisper. She did not want to go back inside. She wanted to stay here, with Will achingly close, almost leaning into her. She could feel...

Cuando estás leyendo un libro, y sabes que habrá una tragedia; puedes sentir el frió y la oscuridad llegando, ver la red tejiéndose cerca de los personajes que viven y respiran en las páginas. Pero...

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...

It’s too late,” she said.”Don’t say that.” His voice was half a whisper. “I love you, Tessa. I love you.

You’re the shape-changer aren’t you?” he said. “Magnus Bane told me about you. No mark on you at all, they say.”Tessa swallowed and looked him straight in the eye. They were discordantly human eyes, ordinary...

His blue eyes were very dark…Will’s were the colour of the sky just on the edge of the night…

Will. For a moment her heart hesitated. She remembered when Will had died, her agony, the long nights alone, reaching across the bed every morning when she woke up, for years expecting to find him...

Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two.

Achilles was murdered with a poisonedarrow, and Jason died alone, killed by his own rotting ship. Such is the fate of heroes; the Angel knows why anyone would want to be one.

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,”...

She leaned forward and caught at his hand, pressing it between her own. The touch was like white fire through his veins. He could not feel her skin only the cloth of her gloves, and...

I would, at any rate, but then, I am well known to be remarkably shy.

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

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

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

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

To his children, Will showed the same love he had always shown to her, fierce and unyielding. And the same protectiveness he had only ever showed to one other person: the person James had been...

Doesn’t like you? She hates you!

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...

The witchlight made his skin paler, his eyes more intently blue. They were the color of the water in the North Atlantic, where the ice drifted on its blue-black surface like the snow clinging to...

–,No está enojado? –Estoy contento, –dijo. –Ellos van a ser capaces de cuidar uno del otro cuando yo me haya ido, o por lo menos puedo esperar eso. Él dice que ella no lo ama,...

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.

I thought perhaps that when you told me you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not. They have grown every day. I love you now...

I don’t remember ordering the bride of an evil maniac,” said Magnus. “It was definitely beef and broccoli. What about you, Tessa? Did you order the bride of an evil maniac?

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 loved her enough to know she was better off without him

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.

We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved again. It was books that made me feel...

There is no curse on me, Tessa. The demon tricked me. There never was a curse. All these years, I’ve been a fool. But not so much a fool that I didn’t know that the...

Someone ought to be rude to him. He’s rude enough to everyone else.

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...

Tess?” A soft voice at the door; she looked up and saw Will there, silhouetted in the light from the corridor.
