“Well,
it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are
frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look
at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a
switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”

“What's
this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might
know what she was doing there.

fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And

beginning of everything.”

“Name
one hero who was happy."
I
considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and
father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon
killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back.
"You
can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I
can't."
"I
know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you a secret."
"Tell
me." I loved it when he was like this.
"I'm
going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear
it."
"Why
me?"
"Because
you're the reason. Swear it."
"I
swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his
eyes.
"I
swear it," he echoed.
We
sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I
feel like I could eat the world raw.”
