“Magnus had always had a wanderer’s heart. Over the centuries, he had adventured in so many different places, always looking for something that would fulfill his restless hunger. He never realized how all the pieces could fall together, how home could be somewhere and someone. He belonged with Alec. His wandering heart could rest.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Red Scrolls of Magic

“Yes,” Magnus said. “About that. I deeply appreciate you saving my life. I’m very attached to my life. However, if it comes to a choice between your life and mine, Alec, remember I have already lived a very long time.”

“I’ve realized—I don’t need to change. And neither do you, Helen, or you, Aline. It’s the world that needs to change, and we’re going to be the ones to change it.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Red Scrolls of Magic

“When he was gone, when he was dust and ashes, Magnus would still be
walking through this world. If the world was changed for the better, then
that unknowable future would be better for Magnus. Alec could imagine
that on some scorching hot day like this, on a strange street in a strange
land, Magnus might see something good that reminded him of Alec,
some way that the world was changed because Alec had lived. Alec
couldn’t imagine what the world would be like then.
But he could imagine, in some faraway future, the face he loved best.”
