I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”

    “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.”

    “Say something in Mandarin,” said Tessa, with a smile.
    Jem said something that sounded like a lot of breathy vowels and
    consonants run together, his voice rising and falling melodically: “Ni
    hen piao liang.”
    “What did you say?” Tessa was curious.
    “I said your hair is coming undone — here,” he said, and reached out
    and tucked an escaping curl back behind her ear. Tessa felt the blood
    spill hot up into her face, and was glad for the dimness of the
    carriage. “You have to be careful with it,” he said, taking his hand
    back, slowly, his fingers lingering against her cheek.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    Cassandra Clare
    “Demon pox, oh, demon pox,
    Just how is it acquired?
    One must go down to the bad part of town
    Until one is very tired.
    Demon pox, oh, demon pox I had it all along—
    No, not the pox, you foolish blocks,
    I mean this very song—
    For I was right, and you were wrong!”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

  • #23
    Cassandra Clare
    “Tessa had begun to tremble. This is what she had always wanted someone to say. What she had always, in the darkest corner of her heart, wanted Will to say. Will, the boy who loved the same books she did, the same poetry she did, who made her laugh even when she was furious. And here he was standing in front of her, telling her he loved the words of her heart, the shape of her soul. Telling her something she had never imagined anyone would ever tell her. Telling her something she would never be told again, not in this way. And not by him.
    And it did not matter.
    "It's too late", she said.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
