Cassandra Clare
“Magnus, you were trying to flirt with your own plate."

"I'm a very open-minded sort of fellow!”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked too, so used to living in Jace’s shadow that he didn’t expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at longest.
And silver, though few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold.”
Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

Cassandra Clare
“Raphael calls me every month,” said Ragnor. “Raphael knows that it is important to preserve good relations and maintain regular communication between the different Downworlder factions. I might add, Raphael always remembers important occasions in my life.”
“I forgot your birthday one time sixty years ago!” said Magnus. “You need to let that go.”
“It was fifty-eight years ago, for the record. And Raphael knows we need to maintain a united front against the Nephilim and not, for instance, sneak around with their underage sons,” Ragnor continued.
“Alec is eighteen!”
“Whatever,” said Ragnor. “Raphael would never date a Shadowhunter.”
“Of course, why would he, when you two are in loooove?” Magnus asked. “‘Oooh, Raphael is
always so professional.’ ‘Oooh, Raphael brought up the most interesting points in that meeting you forgot to attend.’ ‘Oooh, Raphael and I are planning a June wedding.’ Besides, Raphael would never date a Shadowhunter because Raphael has a policy of never doing anything that is awesome.”

Cassandra Clare
“Maybe this time was different—maybe this love was different. It felt so different; surely that had to mean something. Maybe the year to come would be a good year for both of them. Maybe this time things would work out the way Magnus wanted them to.
Maybe Alexander Lightwood would not break his heart.”
Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

Cassandra Clare
“Wait,” said Ragnor, and he started to snigger. “Is this about your Nephilim boyfriend?”
“Our relationship is as yet undefined,” said Magnus with dignity. Then he clutched the phone and hissed, “And how do you know private details about my personal life with Alexander?”
“Ooooh, Alexander,” Ragnor said in a singsong voice. “I know all about it. Raphael called and told me.”
“Raphael Santiago,” said Magnus, thinking darkly of the current leader of the New York vampire clan, “has a black ungrateful heart, and one day he will be punished for this treachery.”

Cassandra Clare
“The buzzer rang. Magnus pressed the button to let him enter, speechless for a moment because he had wanted Alec there, so badly, and here he was. It felt more like magic than anything he could do.
Then Alec was there, standing in the open doorway.
“I wanted to see you,” said Alec with devastating simplicity. “Is this okay? I can go away if you’re busy or anything.”
It must have been raining a little outside. There were sparkling drops of water in Alec’s messy black hair. He was wearing a hoodie that Magnus thought he might have found in a Dumpster, and sloppy jeans, and his whole face was lit up just because he was looking at Magnus.
“I think,” said Magnus, pulling Alec in by the strings on his awful gray hoodie, “that I could be persuaded to clear my schedule.”

Cassandra Clare
“It made no sense that his eyes had been drawn to Alec, over and over again. Alec had hung to the back of their little group, had made no effort to attract the eye. He had striking coloring, the rare combination of black hair and blue eyes that had always been Magnus’s favorite, and Magnus supposed that was why he had looked in Alec’s direction at first. Strange to see the coloring that had so distinguished Will and his sister, so many miles and years gone by, and on someone with an entirely different last name . . .”

Cassandra Clare
“I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son," said the woman called Maryse.

"I have no interest in the world you want," said Magnus. "Or in your doubtless repellent brat, I might add.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Alec surprised Magnus and the werewolf both by breaking away and lunging at Marcy. Whatever he had been planning, it didn’t work: this time the werewolf’s swipe caught him full in the chest. Alec went flying into a hot pink wall decorated with gold glitter. He hit a mirror set into the wall and decorated with curling gold fretwork with enough force to crack the glass across.
“Oh, stupid Shadowhunters,” Magnus moaned under his breath. But Alec used his own body hitting the wall as leverage, rebounding off the wall and up, catching a sparkling chandelier and swinging, then dropping down as lightly as a leaping cat and crouching to attack again in one smooth movement. “Stupid, sexy Shadowhunters.”
Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

Cassandra Clare
“There was still about them what had always reminded Magnus of an old legend he’d heard of the red thread of fate: that an invisible scarlet thread bound certain people, and however tangled it became, it could not and would not break.”
Cassandra Clare, The Midnight Heir

Cassandra Clare
“Jocelyn and Clary Fray,” said Magnus. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Cassandra Clare, The Last Stand of the New York Institute

Cassandra Clare
“Tessa, Will, and Jem had raised James in love, and had surrounded him with love and the goodness it could produce. But they had given him no armor against the evil. They had wrapped his heart in silks and velvet, and then he had given it to Grace Blackthorn, and she had spun for it a cage of razor wire and broken glass, burned it to bits, and blown away the remains, another layer of ashes in this place of beautiful horrors.”
Cassandra Clare, The Midnight Heir

Cassandra Clare
“A girl clutched Magnus’s sleeve and gazed up at him, her false lashes dusted with silver glitter. “Don’t go in,” she whispered. “There’s a monster in there.”
I am a monster, Magnus thought. And monsters are his specialty.
He didn’t say it. Instead he said, “I don’t believe you,” and walked in. He meant it, too: the
Shadowhunters, even Alec, might believe Magnus was a monster, but Magnus didn’t believe it himself. He’d taught himself not to believe it even though his mother, the man he’d called his father, and a thousand others had told him it was true.
Magnus would not believe the girl in there was a monster either, no matter what she might look like to mundanes and Nephilim. She had a soul, and that meant she could be saved.”
Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

Cassandra Clare
“Magnus thought once again of the blue-eyed man standing in his parlor. Then he lit a match and burned the note.”
Cassandra Clare, The Runaway Queen

Cassandra Clare
“Jem had moved the same way coming in, but as Will neared him, Jem took a step toward his former parabatai, and the step was swift, eager, and human, as if being close to the people whom he loved made him feel made of flesh and racing blood once more.
“You’re here,” said Will, and implicit in the words was the sense that Will’s contentment was complete. Now Jem was there, all was right with the world.”
Cassandra Clare, The Midnight Heir

Cassandra Clare
“Magnus had heard the story of how the Nephilim were created many times. They had all left out the bit that said: And the Angel descended from on high and gave his chosen ones fantastic abs.”
Cassandra Clare, The Course of True Love [and First Dates]

Cassandra Clare
“Magnus had been interested in Clary, the little redheaded scrap who had grown into a—slightly
bigger little redheaded scrap, but had not thought he would be terribly interested in the companions she had found for herself.”
Cassandra Clare, What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything

Cassandra Clare
“That was vampires for you: always going for the jugular, both literally and metaphorically. They were messing up his love life as well as being inconsiderate party guests who had got blood in Magnus’s stereo system at his last party and turned Clary’s idiot friend Stanley into a rat, which was just bad manners.”
Cassandra Clare, What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything

Cassandra Clare
“And I will bring a llama into the place where you sleep and make sure that it urinates on everything you possess.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Roses are red, and they say love's not made to last,

But I know I'll never get enough of that sweet, sweet ass.

All that jelly in your jeans, all that junk in your trunk,

I just gotta have it - one look and I was sunk.

If you ever wonder why I had to make you mine,

It's 'cause no other lady has a tush so fine.

They say you're not a looker, but I don't mind.

What I'm looking at is the view from behind.

Never been romantic, don't know what love means,

But I know I dig the way you're wearing those jeans.

Hate to see you leave but love to watch you go.

Turn back, then leave again - baby do it slow.

I'm coming right after, gonna make a pass,

Can't get enough of that sweet, sweet ass.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Ah hayır, Raphael, lütfen beni terk etme," dedi Magnus monoton bir sesle. "O tatlı gülüşünün ışığı olmadan ne yaparım ben? Eğer gidersen kendimi yere atıp ağlarım."
"Öyle mi?" diye sordu Raphael, bir kaşını kaldırıp. "Çünkü bunu yaparsan yanında kalır ve gösteriyi izlerim."
"Çık dışarı," dedi Magnus ona. "Dışarı! Gitmeni istiyorum! Sen buradan ayrıldığında bir parti vereceğim ve sen, partilerden nefret edersin.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Ne iş yapıyorsunuz?" diye sordu kadın.
"Ivır zıvır," dedi Magnus.
"Modayla ilgileniyor musunuz? Moda sektöründe çalışır gibi görünüyorsunuz."
"Hayır," dedi Magnus. "Ben modanın ta kendisiyim.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Sen hâlâ sarhoş olmana rağmen, aslında oldukça keyifli bir yemek oldu."
"O noktada ayılmaya başlamış olduğuma eminim," diyerek itiraz etti Magnus.
"Magnus, kendi tabağınla flörtleşmeye çalışıyordun."
"Ben oldukça açık fikirli biriyimdir!"
"Ragnor ise değildir," dedi Catarina. "Bize deney faresi yedirdiğini keşfettiği zaman tabağını alıp başında parçaladı."
"Ve aşkımız böylece sona erdi," dedi Magnus. "Eh, her neyse. Tabakla uzun bir beraberlik yaşamamız zaten mucize olurdu.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Ama senin derdin eğlenmek değil, değil mi James Herondale?" diye sordu Magnus. "Aslında derdin cehenneme gitmek."
"Belki de cehenneme gitmenin eğlenceli olduğunu düşünüyorumdur." dedi James Herondale ve gözleri tahmin edilemez acılar taşırcasına, cehennem ateşi gibi parladı.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Güven. Bu tıpkı birinin eline kılıç verip, ucunu kalbine dayamaya benziyor."
"Senden bana güvenmeni istemedim," diye belirtti Magnus nazikçe. "Henüz yeni tanıştık."
"Ah, sana güveneceğim," dedi genç, umursamaz bir tavırla. "Ne fark eder ki? Er ya da geç hepimiz ihanete uğrarız. Ya ihanete uğrarız ya da bir hain oluruz.”
Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

Cassandra Clare
“Lily gözlerini Raphael'den ayırmadan Magnus'un yanına sokuldu.
"Ondan hoşlandım," dedi. "Çok acayip olmasına karşın patronluk taslıyor. Ne demek istediğimi anlıyor musun?"
"Üzgünüm. Birinin Raphael'den hoşlandığını duyunca şaşkınlıktan duyma yetimi kaybettim.”
