He remembered when he had been carrying Tavvy upstairs, once, when he'd been thirteen; he'd tripped and fallen, twisting his body around so that he would land on his back and head, not caring if he was hurt as long as Tavvy was all right. He'd cracked himself pretty hard on the head, too, but he'd sat upright fast, his mind rac-ing: Tavvy, my baby, is he okay?
It was the first time he'd thought "my baby" and not "the baby.”
― Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“I won't die. Even if I'm heart-broken, I won't die. And there are many books I want to read before I die."
"I hope you read all of them.”
― Sasha Clinton, Wicked Fate

“You see things nobody else sees. You can't talk about it because no one will understand. You have to keep secrets, and secrets- they break you apart. Cut you open. Make you vulnerable.”
