1 " I know you only say these things to hurt me. Off with you. Brush your hair! "
― Cassandra Clare , Cast Long Shadows (Ghosts of the Shadow Market, #2)
2 " Is that why you insist on carrying about enormous tomes everywhere you go, that you might visit violence upon innocent persons? Done to death by my best friend - my heart's brother - my own dear parabatai- "
3 " They were both thoroughly rumpled, but Matthew did not mind being rumpled for a good cause "
4 " Sometimes it seemed like her face was all the heart he had left. "
5 " There can be no trespass when you are always welcome. "
6 " Is she not the prettiest girl you ever saw? "
7 " Matthew turned to Lucie, who was scribbling intently but who looked up as if sensing his glance and smiled. Matthew wondered how it would be, to be self-sufficient and welcome with it, like a house with sturdy walls and a beacon of light burning within. "
8 " Matthew had not meant for Christopher to be asked to leave shadowhunter Academy, but as it emerged, they did not let you remain in school if you blew up any portion of it. "
9 " Did you sleep in those clothes, Christopher? I know Aunt Cecily, Uncle Gabriel, and Cousin Anna would never let you inflict these horrors on the populace. What are those peculiar lavender stains upon your shirtfront? Did you set your sleeves on fire?”Christopher regarded his sleeves as if he had never beheld them before. “A bit,” he said guiltily.“Ah well,” said Matthew. “At least the purple stains match your eyes. "
10 " Later Matthew would look back and remember it as his last happy day "
11 " My cousin Anna says the Shadow Market is tremendous fun,” said Matthew happily. “Of course, you know Anna. She’s always tremendous fun herself and has the best taste in waistcoats in London. I met some very agreeable faeries who invited me, and I thought I would come see. "
12 " Will has always been my favourite too, Jem agreed solemnly. "
13 " James still had his book tucked under his arm, but Matthew knew better than to fight doomed battles "
14 " I thought I would walk with you a little way, my parabatai. "
15 " James thwacked him over the head with his book. it was a large book "
16 " This is why we are chosen warrior partners, because we share such a perfect bond of sympathy. Come to me, Jamie, that we might share a manly embrace. "
17 " Uncle Will frequently gave dramatic readings from the book he was writing on demon pox, which were very droll "
18 " It lightens my heart to see you with it. We could all do with lighter hearts tonight. "
19 " Do I sleep, do I dream, or are these visions I see? "
20 " We love all the same people, don't we? "
