  • #15
    Cassandra Clare
    “You never laugh," she said. "You behave as if everything is funny to you, but you never laugh. Sometimes you smile when you think no one is paying attention."
    For a moment he was silent. Then, "You," he said, half reluctantly. "You make me laugh. From the moment you hit me with that bottle."
    "It was a jug," she said automatically.
    His lips quirked up at the corners. "Not to mention the way you always correct me. With that funny look on your face when you do it. And the way you shouted at Gabriel Lightwood. And even the way you talked back to de Quincey. You make me..." He broke off, looking at her, and she wondered if she looked the way she felt - stunned and breathless.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #16
    Cassandra Clare
    “You speak of sacrifice, but it is not my sacrifice I offer. It is yours I ask of you," he went on. "I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you wil not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life - whatever length - happy, by spending it with you. I want to be married to you, Tessa. I want it more than I have ever wanted anything else in my life." He looked up at her through the veil of silvery hair that fell over his eyes. "That is," he said shyly, "if you love me, too.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #18
    Cassandra Clare
    “You don't think I can fight." Tessa said, drawing back and matching his silvery gaze with her own. "Because I'm a girl."
    "I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress", said Jem. "For what it's worth, I don't think Will could fight in that dress either."
    "Perhaps not," said Will, who had ears like a bat'a. "But I would make a radiant bride.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

    Cassandra Clare
    “It's Will," she said. "He's being absolutely ridiculous in the dining room."
    Charlotte looked puzzled. "How is this different from him being totally ridiculous in the library or the weapons room or any of the other places he's usually ridiculous?”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

    Cassandra Clare
    “Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name," Will said. "You can have mine."
    Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. "Your name?"
    Will took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind. "Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

  • #22
    Cassandra Clare
    “Life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have not read. I would read them together with you, as many as I can, before I die -"
    She put her hand against his chest, just over his heart, and felt its beat against her palm, a unique time signature that was all its own. "I only wish you would not speak of dying," she said. "But even for that, yes, I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

    Cassandra Clare
    “How rude. Many who have gazed upon me have compared the experience to gazing
    at the radiance of the sun."
    Jem still had his eyes closed. "If they mean it gives you a headache, they aren't wrong.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #24

    “So you're not going to speak tonight," Tessa said. "At all."
    "Not unless you instruct me to," said Will.
    "This evening sounds as if it might be better than I thought.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “It was Will who broke the silence. "Very well. You have me alone in the corridor-"
    "Yes, yes," said Tessa impatiently, "and thousands of women all over England would pay handsomely for the privilege of such an opportunity. Can we put aside the display of your wit for a moment? This is important."
    "You want me to apologize, don't you?" Will said. "For what happened in the attic?"
    Tessa, caught off guard, blinked. "The attic?"
    "You want me to say I'm sorry that I kissed you."
    She felt herself flush and hoped furiously that it wouldn't be visible in the darkness. "What-no. No!"
    "So you don't want me to be sorry," Will said.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #26
    Cassandra Clare
    “Dear God, woman,"said Will. "Are there any questions you don't want to know the answer to?”

    "My recollection of her," said Will, "is most vivid indeed.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “I know," he said, looking down at himself self-consciously. "I am not-I mean, I look-"
    "Beautiful," she said, and she meant it. "You look beautiful, James Carstairs.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #29
    Cassandra Clare
    “I don't understand."
    "How can you not understand?" He pointed at her books. "You read novels. Obviously, I'm here to rescue you. Don't I look like Sir Galahad? ... My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure - "
    Something echoed, far away inside the house - the sound of a door slamming.
    Will said a word Sir Galahad would never have said, and sprang away from the window.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

  • #30
    Cassandra Clare
    “You might want to get up," he said. "Everyone will be here quite soon to rescue you, and you may prefer to have clothes on when they arrive." He shrugged. "I would, at any rate, but then, I am well known to be remarkably shy.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess
