  • Cassandra Clare Quote #1

    –Entonces estás muriendo por amor, –dijo Will finalmente, su voz sonaba estrangulada a sus propios oídos.

    –Muriendo un poco más rápido por amor. Y hay cosas peores por las que morir.


  • Cassandra Clare Quote #2

    –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 como para mantenerme bien. Un poco más de ella antes de las batallas, tal vez, me da energía, sin embargo, una media vida, el gris crepúsculo de una vida.

    –¿Pero has cambiado tu dosis ahora? ¿Ha sido desde el compro- miso? –Demandó Will. –¿O es por Tessa?

    –No puedes culparla por esto. Fue mi decisión. Ella no sabe sobre esto.

    –Ella quiere que vivas, James.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #3

    –Mi consciencia, –susurró Will. –Tú eres mi consciencia. Siempre lo has sido, James Carstairs. Haré esto por ti, pero primero voy a conseguir una promesa.

    –¿Qué clase de promesa?

    –Me pediste hace años que cese de buscar una cura para ti, –dijo Will. –Quiero que me liberes de esa promesa. Déjame mirar, al menos. Libérame para buscar.

    Jem miró con cierto asombro.

    –Justo cuando creo que te conozco perfectamente, me sorprendes de nuevo.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #4

    — ¡James Carstairs! ¡Jem! ¿Dónde estás, tú, bastardo desleal?

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #5

    — 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 es tu corazón – dijo ella, no con enojo sino pensativamente. –No soy una tonta, como te dije – agregó por su expresión de sorpresa. –Sé que la amas.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #6

    A diary with no drawings of me in it? Where are the torrid fantasies? The romance covers?

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #7

    A great sadness welled up in Magnus at the sight of him. It was human to age and die, and Jem stood outside that humanity now, outside the light that burned so brightly and so briefly. It was cold outside that light and fire. No one had greater cause to know that cold than Magnus did.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #8

    A Mark that spoke of loss was still a Mark, a remembrance. You could not lose something you never had.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #9

    A massive fir, it rose to nearly touch the ceiling at the far end of the ballroom. When Will asked Charlotte how on earth it had gotten in there, she had only waved her hands and said something about Magnus.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #10

    A pretty girl with butterfly clips in her dreadlocks put her hand on his arm. “You were amazing,” she told him, her voice fluting. “You have the reflexes of a striking snake. You should be a stuntman. Really, with your cheekbones, you should be an actor. A lot of people are looking for someone as pretty as you who’d do his own stunts.”

    Alec threw Magnus a terrified and beseeching look. Magnus took pity on him, putting a hand on the small of Alec’s back and leaning against him. His attitude and the glance he shot at the girl clearly communicated my date.

    “No offence,” said the girl, rapidly removing her hand so she could dig in her bag. “Let me give you my card. I work in a talent agency. You could be a star.”

    “He’s foreign,” Magnus told the girl. “He doesn’t have a social security number. You can’t hire him.”

    The girl regarded Alec’s bowed head wistfully. “That’s a shame. He could be huge. Those eyes!”

    “I realize he’s a knockout,” Magnus said. “But I am afraid I have to whisk him away. He is wanted by Interpol.”

    Alec shot him a strange look. “Interpol?”

    Magnus shrugged.

    “Knockout?” Alec said.

    Magnus raised an eyebrow at him. “You had to know I thought so. Why else would I agree to go on a date with you?

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #11

    A steady flame unwavering & honest

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #12

    Aaron was wearing a T-shirt that was practically transparent with washing and sweatpants with a hole in the knee. His blond hair stuck up like duck fluff and he looked barely awake. Tamara looked tense. Her hair was carefully braided and she wore pink pajamas that said I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL across the front. Under the words was a screen print of cartoon girls executing deadly ninja moves.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #13

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

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #14

    Actually, Clary said, I think he stayed because of me.
    Jace's glaze flicked up to hers with a flash of gold. Because of you? Hoping for another hot date, was he?
    Clary felt herself flush. No. And our date wasn't hot. In fact, it wasn't even a date. Anyway, that's not the point. When he came into the Hall, he kept trying to get me to go outside with him so we could talk. He wanted something from me. I just don't know what.
    Or maybe he just wanted you, Jace said. Seeing Clary's expression, he added, Not that way. I mean maybe he wanted to bring you to Valentine.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #15

    Against all odds, the Academy had come to feel like home. A slimy, moldy, dungeonlike home without working toilets, maybe, but home nevertheless. He and George had even named the rats that lived behind their walls. Every night, they left Jon Cartwright Jr., III, and IV a piece of stale bread to nibble, in hopes they'd prefer the crumbs to human feet.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #16

    Against his will, Magnus found a smile curving his lips as he rummaged around for his big blue coffee cup that said BETTER THAN GANDALF across the front in sparkly letters. He was besotted; he was officially revolted by himself.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #17

    Alec flushed. I think it's more important for you to go than me. You're Valentine's son, I'm sure you're the one the Queen really wants to see. Besides, you're charming.
    Jace glared at him.
    Maybe not at the moment, Alec amended. But you're usually charming. And faeries are very susceptible to charm.
    Plus, if you stay here, I've got the whole first season of Gilligan's Island on DVD, Magnus said.
    No one could turn that down, said Jace. He still wouldn't look at Clary.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #18

    Alec is not a bunny rabbit. He's a shadowhunter.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #19

    Alec isn’t happy,” said Magnus, as if she hadn’t spoken.
    “Of course he isn’t,” Isabelle snapped. “Jace—”
    “Jace,” said Magnus, and his hands made fists at his sides. Isabelle stared at him. She had always thought that he didn’t mind Jace; liked him, even, once the question of Alec’s affections had been settled. Out loud, she said:
    “I thought you were friends.”
    “It’s not that,” said Magnus. “There are some people — people the universe seems to have singled out for special destinies. Special favors and special torments. God knows we’re all drawn toward what’s beautiful and broken; I have been, but some people cannot be fixed. Or if they can be, it’s only by love and sacrifice so great it destroys the giver.”
    Isabelle shook her head slowly. “You’ve lost me. Jace is our brother, but for Alec — he’s Jace’s parabatai too —”
    “I know about parabatai,” said Magnus, his voice rising in pitch. “I’ve known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the one that’s left—”
    “Stop it!” Isabelle clapped her hands over her ears, then lowered them slowly. “How dare you, Magnus Bane,” she said.
    “How dare you make this worse than it is —”
    “Isabelle.” Magnus’ hands loosened; he looked a little wide-eyed, as if his outburst had startled even him. “I am sorry. I forget, sometimes . . . that with all your self-control and strength, you possess the same vulnerability that Alec does.”
    “There is nothing weak about Alec,” said Isabelle.
    “No,” said Magnus. “To love as you choose, that takes strength. The thing is, I wanted you here for him. There are things I can’t do for him, can’t give him . . .” For a moment Magnus looked oddly vulnerable. “You have known Jace as long as he has. You can give him understanding I can’t. And he loves you.”
    “Of course he loves me. I’m his sister.”
    “Blood isn’t love,” said Magnus, and his voice was bitter. “Just ask Clary.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #20

    Alec looked at her and shook his head. How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?
    Isabelle shrugged philosophically. I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #21

    Alec slid his hand from Jace's arm to his shoulder. Magnus cleared his throat. Alec dropped his hand. Simon grinned into his undrunk coffee.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #22

    Alec took a deep breath and let it out. Well, he’d come this far; he might as well go on. The bare lightbulb hanging overhead cast sweeping shadows as he reached forward and pressed the buzzer.
    A moment later a voice echoed through the stairwell. “WHO CALLS UPON THE HIGH WARLOCK?”
    “Er,” Alec said. “It’s me. I mean, Alec. Alec Lightwood.”
    There was a sort of silence, as if even the hallway itself were surprised. Then a ping, and the second door opened, letting him out onto the stairwell. He headed up the rickety stairs into the darkness, which smelled like pizza and dust. The second floor landing was bright, the door at the far end open. Magnus Bane was leaning in the entryway.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #23

    Alec, Magnus said. He put a hand on his boyfriend’s shoulder; Alec was standing still, staring angrily at the floor. Are you okay?
    Alec looked at him. Who are you again?
    Magnus gave a little gasp; he looked — for the first time Simon could remember — actually unnerved. It lasted only a moment, but it was there. Alexander, he said.
    Too soon to joke about the happy memory thing, I take it, Alec said.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #24

    Alec? Magnus was staring at him. He had dispatched the remaining Iblis demons, and the square was empty but for the two of them. Did you just- did you just save my life?
    Alec knew he ought to say something like, Of course, because I'm a Shadowhunter and that's what we do, or That's my job. Jace would have said something like that. Jace always knew the right thing to say. But the words that actually came out of Alec's mouth where quite different- and sounded petulant, even to his own ears. You never called me back, he said. I called you so many times and you never called me back.
    Magnus looked at Alec as if he'd lost his mind. Your city is under attack, he said. The wards have broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven't called you?

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #25

    Alex- Alec, if I had given you the impression I had accepted the idea of your death, I can only apologize. I tried to, I thought I had- and yet still I pictured having you for fifty, sixty more years. I thought I might be ready to let you go. But it's you, and I realize now that I won't be any more ready to lose you than I am right now. Which is not at all.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #26

    Algunas veces uno tiene que elegir entre ser amable y honorable, –dijo. –A veces no se puede ser las dos.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #27

    Aline! Isabelle looked appalled. You can't just go around asking people what it's like to be a vampire.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #28

    All I know is that I love you. And for the first time, that's good enough.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #29

    All knowledge hurts.

  • Cassandra Clare Quote #30

    All my life, since I came to the Institute, you were the mirror of my soul. I saw the good in me in you. In your eyes alone I found grace. When you are gone from me, who will see me like that?
