You are my conscience. You have ever been, James Carstairs.

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

This…this…thing?””A parsnip?” Jem suggested”A parsnip planted in satan’s own garden,” said Will. He glanced about. “I dont suppose there’s a dog I could feed it to?””There dont seem to be any pets about,” Jem-who loved...

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...

wanting what you could not have led to misery and madness

If no one cares for you at all, do you even really exist?

Dear me. Such harsh truths so early in the morning cannot be good for the digestion.

Marry me,” he said. “Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave...

And if that isn’t proof that those two colors should never be seen together under Heaven, I don’t know what is.

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

The Will I fell in love with, she almost said.”And be Will,” she finished instead. “Or I shall hit you with my umbrella.

I love your name. I love the sound of it

Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.

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

Has no one respect for the classics these days?

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

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

May I make a suggestion,” said Will. “About twenty paces behind us, in the Council room, is Benedict. If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and...

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,”...

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

There’s always the dinner rolls,” said Will, pointing to a covered basket. “Though I warn you, they’re as hard as stones. You could use them to kill black beetles, if any beetles bother you in...

Will stared down at his hands. “My whole life wrecked, destroyed…” “You’re seventeen,” Magnus said. “You can’t have wrecked a life you’ve barely lived.

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....

Oh, I can never get enough. Which, incidentally, is what your sister said when–

Dw i’n dy garu di am byth,” he said. “I love you. Always.

He said there are thousands of Shadowhunters, but great love comes once in a lifetime if one is lucky, and one would be a fool to let it go.

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...

Jem cried out with all his remaining strength. You cannot go where I am going! Nor would I want that for you!

no.

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...

This is about Tessa. I knew it was.” Will flushed, a wash of color across the pallor of this face. “Not just her.””But you love her.”Will stared at him. “Of course I do,” he said...

Do not speak to Will in that manner.

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, dear,” said Tessa.”I have that effect on women,” Will said. “I probably should have warned you before you agreed to marry me.””I can still change my mind,” Tessa said sweetly.”Don’t you dare -,” He...

I like to talk to the horses at night. They make good company. And you should not be out and about in your nightgown. There are Lightwoods wandering these halls.

Nearly unable to bear the thought of how much he needed her quiet strength, he closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the cold glass.

Will speechless for once, a glass of water frozen halfway to his lips

Pulvis et umbra sumus. It’s a line from Horace. ‘We are dust and shadows’. Appropriate, don’t you think?” Will said. “It’s not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they...

Will, meet Thammuz, a minor demon from the eighth dimension. Thammuz, meet Will, a minor Shadowhunter from-Wales, was it?””I will rip out your eyes,” hissed the creature. “I will tear the skin from your face.”...

Excellent. I’ve been told I have a lovely, melodic reading voice.” He flipped the book open to the front page, where the title was printed in ornate script. Across from it was a long dedication,...

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...

Love potions? For Will ‘erondale? ‘Tain’t my way to turn down payment, but any man who looks like you ‘as got no need of love potions, and that’s a fact.””No,” Will said, a little desperation...

Nice work in their, Herondale, setting the place on fire,” Gabriel observed. “Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the...

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,...

Dear me,” said Will, and he took another bite of his apple. “Is it because I’m better-looking than you?

…If you’d like to go back in there and try kicking him, I recommend aiming upward and a bit to the left–

It felt like being shot with an arrow, and Will jerked back. His wineglass crashed to the floor and shattered. He lurched to his feet, leaning both hands on the table. He was vaguely aware...

And no, this is not that meeting.

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?

Gideon Lightwood said he was at the Institute in Madrid. What on earth was he doing there?”Faffing about, most likely’, said Will.
