“George Lovelace was gone. But Simon Lovelace was still here, and it was time to make that count.”

“You are a Nephilim now. I name you Simon Shadowhunter, of the blood of Jonathan Shadowhunter, child of the Nephilim.”

“Sometimes there is no point. There only is what is.”

“What is: George. Brave and kind and good. George, dead. George, gone.”

“Ave atque vale, George Lovelace, child of Nephilim. Forever and ever, my brother, hail and farewell.”

“You have the power to change these people for the better. Don’t waste it.”

“It had all begun with the mortal cup; it seemed fitting that it should all end here too.”

“He is a Nephilim.”

“And his memories- the parts of himself he’d feared were lost forever- had come home.”

“Now, finally, he was whole again.”

“There’s something else I’ve never had. At least until now. A brother.”

“This, Simon realized, was what Ascending meant. This was what being a Shadowhunter meant. (…) It meant joining his friends. It meant being part of something bigger than himself, something as wonderful as it was terrifying.”

“You might almost call them a family.”

Angel Twice Descending

“He wanted one last night in the city as just this one: Simon Lewis, myopic, manga-loving mundane.”

“How many other people he had cared about, or people the people he loved had cared about, had been lost to one Shadowhunter war or another? He was a teenager— he wasn’t supposed to know this many people who had died.”

+ Until the Lightwood who was unforgettable; until the Lightwood who had not only touched but taken his heart.”

“Magnus had always found the Lightwoods rather forgettable. He'd liked some of them-Anna Lightwood and her parade of brokenhearted young ladies, Christopher Lightwood and his explosions, and now Isabelle-but there had never been a Lightwood who touched his heart, as some Shadowhunters had: Will Herondale or Henry Branwell or Clary Fray.+

“I’m not trapped. I’m happy. I’m exactly where I want to be.”

“I want the Law to change. I do not want to get married until we can get married i gold.”

“They are the children of a changing world. But I think they needed Simon here, to be their catalyst.”

Born To Endless Nights

“As soon as Alec took the baby, the continuous soft whimpering noise ceased.”

“Without luck, Magnus would have been among the lost. Without love, Catarina and Ragnor would have been among the lost.”

“Alec thought that he and Magnus were keeping the baby.”

“I never want a less strange love.”

“I want to be part of the connection between the Institute and Downworlders.”

stop the wedding pero es simon dandose cuenta un segundo tarde que julian y emma estan enamorados y son parabatais

“Something about the way Emma and Julian were acting wasn’t quite what Simon expected. Sure, they would be nervous but… no, it was something else.”

“It was over. The oath was made, and Emma and Julian stood before them all. Julian had a rune on his collarbone, and Emma on her upper arm.”
