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

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,...

While the Clave disapproves of trespassers, oddly they take an even darker view of beheading and skinning people. They’re peculiar that way.

Sometimes, when I have to do something I don’t want to do, I pretend I’m a character from a book. It’s easier to know what they would do.

He seemed to realize she was staring at him, because the cursing stopped. “You cut me,” he said. His voice was pleasant. British. Very ordinary. He looked at his hand with critcal interest. “It might...

Easy mistake to make,” Jem said.

I want you to be happy, and him to be happy. And yet when you walk that aisle to meet him and join yourselves forever you will walk an invisible path of the shards of...

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...

He loved her enough to know she was better off without him

Makes Gabriel look sweeter than gingerbread. Hates Will even more thanGabriel, too, if that’s possible.

Charlotte, darling, Henry said to his wife, who was staring at im in gape-mouthed horror. Jassamine, beside her, was wided eyed. Sorry im late. You know, i think i might nearly have the sensor working-...

It is always better to live the truth than to live a lie. And that lie would have kept him alone forever. He may have had nearly nothing for 5 years, but now he can...

He bent to put his cheek against hers. His breath against her ear made her shudder with each deliberately spoken word. “I have wanted to do this,” he said, “every moment of every hour of...

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...

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

[…] “I recall what you said to me once,” Will went on. “That words have the power to change us. Your words have changed me, Tess; they have made me a better man than I...

–,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,...

Those of us who do not live forever do not like change perhaps as much as those of you who do.

As dull as Nate Gray is,” Will said, “his head is not actually filled with gears, Henry. He’s a human.

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...

–,Piensas que hay una oportunidad para él? –,Una oportunidad para quién? –Will Herondale. De que sea feliz.

That for my father, there was only ever one woman he loved, and it was her for him, or nothing. You are that for me. I love you, and I will only ever love you...

He was Will, in all his perfect imperfection; Will, whose heart was as easy to break as it was carefully guarded; Will, who loved not wisely but entirely and with everything he had.

When I first arrived in London, I so quickly tired of being surrounded by so many people that it was only with great difficulty that I refrained from seizing the next unfortunate who crossed my...

I think if two souls are meant to be together, they will remain together on the Wheel and be together again in the life after this one, whatever happens to us now.

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...

Iwouldn’t go that far,” muttered Tessa.

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.

In Will’s experience, when someone who ought to be afraid wasn’t, the reason was rarely bravery. Usually it meant that they knew something you didn’t.

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 –...

With God on your side, what does luck matter?

I’ll wake Cyril. And be prepared to swoon at my finery.

Don’t you know it?

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.

He speaks of you only with the greatest pride, Will

That the wall is coming down.

it’s like she knows me already.

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...

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...

Who knows your courage better than I?

Me siento responsable por ese muchacho. Si él nunca encuentra la felicidad, sentiré que le he fallado. Si no puede tener a la chica que ama, sentiré que le he fallado. Si no puedo conservar...

Love potions? For Will Herondale? T’aint my way to turn down payment, but any man who looks like you has got no need of love potions, and that’s a fact.

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...

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