81 " Sometimes one must choose whether to be kind or honorable," he said. "Sometimes one cannot be both. "
― Cassandra Clare , Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3)
82 " There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse. "
83 " It has been the privilege and the honor of my life to know you. "
84 " Tessa touched his wrist lightly with her hand. "Be brave," she said. "It's not a duck, is it? "
85 " Do not seek revenge and call it justice. "
86 " I'm afraid to answer that. I've heard that when I speak, it makes American women wish to strike me with umbrellas. "
87 " Jem knotted his fingers in the material of Will's sleeve. "You are my parabatai," he said, "You said once I could ask anything of you. "
88 " And maybe you should stop pitying yourself,” he said. “Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two. "
89 " Bright star,” Magnus said, and his eyes were thoughtful, as if he were remembering something, or someone. “Those of you who are mortal, you burn so fiercely. And you fiercer than most, Will. I will not ever forget you. "
90 " Atque in pepetuum, frater, ave atque vale,” he whispered. The words of the poem had never seemed so fitting: Forever and ever, my brother, hail and farewell. "
91 " You know,” Cecily said, “you really didn’t have to throw that man through the window. "
92 " Jem told me what Ragnor Fell said about my father,” Will said. “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 until I die — "
93 " For this I would be damned forever. For this I would have given up everything. "
94 " Every meeting led to a parting, and so it would, as long as life was mortal. In every meeting there was some of the sorrow of parting, but in everything parting there was some of the joy of meeting as well. "
95 " At last, the wheel comes full circle "
96 " 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 yet it did not matter. You kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire. He had wondered once why love was always phrased in terms of burning. The conflagration in his own veins, now, gave the answer. "
97 " Do not make the mistake of believing that he does not love you because he plays at not caring. "
98 " There is more to living than not dying. "
99 " Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two. "
100 " If there is a life after this one", he said, "let me meet you in it, James Carstairs. "
