Value your parabatai," he said. "For it is a precious bond. All love is precious. It is why we do what we do. Why do we fight demons? Why are they not fit custodians of this world? What makes us better? It is because they do not build, but destroy. They do not love, but hate only. We are human and fallible, we Shadowhunters. But if we did not have the capability to love, we could not guard humans; we must love to guard them. My parabatai, he loved like few ever could love, with all and everything. I see you are like that too; it burns more brightly in you than the fire of Heaven

Don__ carry the weight of the world on you Jace. It__ too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.

Can I tell you a boring science fact?" she whispered. "I bet you didn't learn it in Shadowhunter history class.""If you're trying to distract me from talking about my feelings, you're not being very subtle about it." He touched her face. "You know I make speeches. It's okay. You don't have to make them back. Just tell me you love me,""I'm not trying to distract you." She held up her hand and wiggles the fingers. "There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body," she said. "And every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did before. It's science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes air of sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much," She smiled. "How was that for a speech?

Herondales." Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don't carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It's too heavy for even a Herondale to bear.

Mundane education is regrettably prosaic," - Jace Lightwood-Herondale

To love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be destroyed

There's nothing wrong with George. It is not possible to find fault with George. He's a perfect Scottish angel. He always shares the snacks that his mother sends him and he's better- looking than Jace. There, I said it. I'm not taking it back.

This was Jace being brave. Simon thought, brave and snarky because he thought Lilith was going to kill him, and that was the way he wanted to go, unafraid and on his feet. Like a warrior. The way Shadowhunters did. His death song would always be this-jokes and snideness and pretend arrogance, and that look in his eyes that said 'I'm better than you'. Simon just hadn't realized it before.

Every student, Shadowhunter and mundane alike, knew the name Herondale. It was Jace__ last name. It was the name of heroes.

Idris had been green and gold and russet in the autumn, when Clary had first been there. It had a stark grandeur in the winter: the mountains rose in the distance, capped white with snow, and the trees along the side of the road that led back to Alicante from the lake were stripped bare, their leafless branches making lace-like patterns against the bright sky.Sometimes Jace would slow the horse to point out the manor houses of the richer Shadowhunter families, hidden from the road when the trees were full but revealed now. She felt his shoulders tense as they passed one that nearly melded with the forest around it: it had clearly been burned and rebuilt. Some of the stones still bore the black marks of smoke and fire. __he Blackthorn manor,_ he said. __hich means that around this bend in the road is _ He paused as Wayfarer summited a small hill, and reined him in so they could look down to where the road split in two. One direction led back toward Alicante _ Clary could see the demon towers in the distance _ while the other curled down toward a large building of mellow golden stone, surrounded by a low wall. _ _ the Herondale manor,_ Jace finished.The wind picked up; icy, it ruffled Jace__ hair. Clary had her hood up, but he was bare-headed and bare-handed, having said he hated wearing gloves when horseback riding. He liked to feel the reins in his hands. __id you want to go and look at it?_ she asked.His breath came out in a white cloud. ____ not sure.

You are a great deal of trouble, Jace herondale. __o I__e been told_ jace said

When he let go of Clary, he turned and hugged Jace. Clary watched, tears running down her face.

I'm warning you, that jacket is sexy. The Institute could go up in sexy, sexy flames.

You__e got a lot of responsibility now,_ Jace said to Julian. __ou__l have to make sure Emma winds up with a guy who deserves her._ Julian was strangely white-faced. Maybe he was feeling the effects of the ceremony, Emma thought. It had been strong magic; she still felt it sizzling through her blood like champagne bubbles. But Jules looked as if he__ been slapped.__hat about me?_ Emma said, quickly. __on__ I have to make sure Jules winds up with someone who deserves him?___bsolutely. I did it for Alec, Alec did it for me _ well, actually, he hated Clary at first, but he came around._ __ BET you didn__ like Magnus much, either,_ said Julian, still with the same odd, stiff look on his face.__aybe not,_ said Jace, __ut I never would have said so.___ecause it would have hurt Alec__ feelings?_ Emma asked.__o,_ said Jace, __ecause Magnus would have turned me into a hat rack.

Jace: Herondale, on the other hand, is melodic. Dulcet, one might say. Think of the sound of 'Clary Herondale.'Clary: Oh, my god, that sounds horrible.Jace: We all must sacrifice for love.

I don__ understand what makes them come out like that!___unger,_ said Jem. __ere you thinking about blood?___o.___ere you thinking about eating me?_ Will inquired.__o!"__o one would blame you,_ said Jem. __e__ very annoying.
