“Alex seemed near tears. "I'm very proud of you," he said to Jace. "You actually made a plan."

"I'm good at plans!" Jace said.

"You are, actually, good at plans," Magnus said. "it's just usually you're yelling them behind you as you sprint toward danger."

"But you used your sumptuous brain and you're all okay!" Alec said, thumping Jace on the shoulder.”

“He had been born in Mussolini’s Italy. He had survived decades in the time-warp reality of the Lotus Casino. He’d emerged in modern times disoriented and culture-shocked, arrived at Camp Half-Blood, and promptly lost his sister Bianca to a dangerous quest. He had wandered the Labyrinth in self-imposed exile, being tortured and brainwashed by a malevolent ghost. He’d overcome everyone’s distrust and emerged from the Battle of Manhattan as a hero. He’d been captured by giants during the rise of Gaea. He’d wandered Tartarus alone and somehow managed to come out alive. And through it all, he’d struggled with his upbringing as a conservative Catholic Italian male from the 1930s and finally learned to accept himself as a young gay man. Anyone who could survive all that had more resilience than Stygian iron.”

"We know exactly what you mean," Alec said, looking at Jace. "And you are a good parabatai, Clary. Watching you and Simon together—"
"It's like seeing the two of us," Jace said, indicating himself and Alec. "Strength and beauty. Perfect harmony. Skill and intuition, exactly matched."
Alec raised an eyebrow, "Are you strength or beauty?"
"I think we all know the answer to that," said Jace.
"You really are a very strange group of people," observed Tian.”
