Matilde

“She confused being spartan with being charitable, and gave away her possessions without truly doing good with them.
She confused being sick with being brave, and suffered agonies while imagining she merited praise for it.
She confused wit with intelligence, and made people laugh rather than lightening their hearts or making them think.”
― E. Lockhart, We Were Liars

“Family isn't blood. It's the people who love you. The people who have your back.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“Fine, blood was thicker than water. But friendship, it struck Tibby, was thicker than both.”
― Ann Brashares, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

“Simon: I love you Isabelle Lightwood! I love you and I will not go away until you tell me you love me too!

Isabelle: Take your clothes and go!

Simon: Isabelle! Stop throwing clothes at me! Just because your a Shadowhunter and I'm a vampire doesn't mean we can never happen. Our love is forbidden like the love of a shark and a-a sharkhunter! But that's what makes it special!

Isabelle: Oh? Which one of us is the shark, Simon? Which one of us is the shark?

Robert Lightwood: What is going on? Why are you yelling outside my house?”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire
