{"quotes":[{"text":"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.

I envy mundanes their resilience sometimes.","author":"Cassandra Clare","tags":["brother-zachariah","heartbreak","jem-carstairs","love"],"id":1387,"author_id":"Cassandra+Clare"},{"text":"Whatever you are physically, male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy – all those things matter less than what your heart contains.

You are that flame.","author":"Cassandra Clare","tags":["infernal-devices","inspirational","jem-carstairs","shadowhunters","soul","tessa-gray"],"id":2438,"author_id":"Cassandra+Clare"},{"text":"Heroes endure because we need them.

I had always thought one could not be truly lost if one knew one’s own heart. But I fear I maybe lost without knowing yours.” He closed his eyes as if he were bone-weary, and she saw how thin his eyelids were, like parchment paper, andhow tired he looked. “Wo ai ni, Tessa,” he whispered. “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.","author":"Cassandra Clare","tags":["clockwork-prince","jem-carstairs","love","romance","tessa-gray"],"id":9940,"author_id":"Cassandra+Clare"},{"text":"Trains are great dirty smoky things,' said Will. 'You won't like it.' Tessa was unmoved. 'I won't know if I like it until I try it, will I?' 'I've never swum naked in the Thames before, but I know I wouldn't like it.' 'But think how entertaining for sightseers,' said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.","author":"Cassandra Clare","tags":["clockwork-prince","humor","jem-carstairs","teasing","tessa-gray","will-herondale"],"id":21795,"author_id":"Cassandra+Clare"},{"text":"Herondales.' Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. 'I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it.

Not in his view.”\t“And after I just finished telling you why you should consider him family,” Jem said, a bit ruefully. “No wonder you looked as if I’d just told you something awful just happened.”\t“I’m sorry,” Tessa whispered.\t“Don’t be. It’s Will who ought to be sorry.” Jem’s eyes darkened. “We shall throw him out onto the streets,” he proclaimed. “I promise you he’ll be gone by morning.”\tTessa started and sat upright. “Oh – no, you can’t mean that─”\tHe grinned. “Of course I don’t.

I wanted to wait, to be married to you and live wit you for years, but that wasn't possible. I was dying too fast. I would have given it up-all of it up-to be married to you for a day. A day that would never have come. You are a reminder-a reminder of everything I am losing.
